NN-SN67KS Microwave Oven, 1.2 cu.ft, Stainless Steel/Silver

Works well and cooks evenly. As with other Panasonic Inverter microwaves, this unit is manufactured in Panasonic's own factory, rather than being a re-badged Midea or Galanz. The keypad mostly avoids those food presets to let you enter times directly, but it requires a pretty hard push to register, so I'm not sure how well the keypad will fare over time.

This microwave works great, 12oo watts of power. I does have a glitch in the controls that after several uses the buttons won't work unless you hit the stop/reset button then they work perfectly again. We have not found them hard to push until you have to rest it as stated before, same size as out last Panasonic but has a larger turntable and buttons so you can get exactly the time you want as our last on had a turn dial and after so many seconds it jumped 10 and 15 seconds at a time. We hope this one last as long as our old made it 11 years.

I was looking for an inverter style microwave that was powerful, feature rich, and did it's job. This hit on all of those points and except for one flaw would be a perfect 10/10. Pros: - Microwaves food well. I know this should be obvious but with some of the reviews I'd read I thought I should make this clear. It does its job well with no uneven heating. - Sense reheat works awesome. Coming from a microwave that didn't have this feature, this makes warming up food easy. No more guess work or babysitting the food while it reheats. Put it in, press Sense Reheat, start it and walk away. You'll come back to fully warmed up food. It errors on the side of too warm than too cold so you don't have to worry about those odd cold bites. Just be sure not to cover it. - Cleans super easy. Whatever material or coating they are using is perfect for wiping out any mess. Compared to my old microwave this is world's better. You won't realize how awesome this is until you try wiping dry spaghetti sauce from the top of a microwave. I could never go back one without this coating. - Ability to turn off sound. As someone who has a toddler who naps/sleeps in the room next to the kitchen this is a huge feature for me. No more loud beeps whenever you're pressing buttons and no more alarm going off whenever it's done. - Build quality feels solid and I have no worries about its longevity. This wasn't the cheapest microwave but it feels like it hit the sweet spot between features and quality. You could spend a lot more on a microwave that wouldn't work any better. So with all these positives what is the flaw that single handedly takes an entire star off the rating? The most annoying flaw: After heating something up and checking it, if you need to add additional time you can't just press the number keys. Your options are, use the 30 second button to add time in 30 second blocks, press the add time button then hit the number keys, press clear then hit the number keys, or wait 1 minute for it to lose its memory and then press the number keys. Now let me be clear, I understand why they have the additional time button. It's so you can add time without having to go through re-entering all those additional settings again. But the amount of times I actually use the advanced heating options vs just throwing food in there and hitting it full blast aren't even close. I've had this microwave for 2 months and I haven't once set the power level or used it to make dough or bake a cake or any ofhat other stuff. But you know what I do basically every single day? Throw my kids food in there and then have to keep checking it to make sure it's not too hot then adding more time. And every single time I run it for 10 seconds then have to check it, when I need to add more time guess what? I can't just press the number keys and hit go. I've got to hit additional time then 10 seconds. Doesn't sound like a big deal right? It only adds an extra second of time. Sure, you're right, except I've got 20+ years of microwave muscle memory built in telling me once you open the door to check the food you can go right back to pressing the number keys and hitting go. So every time I use it I naturally close the door and then go right to pressing numbers only to remember, "oh that's right they've added an additional extra unnecessary step before allowing me to add additional time". I don't care about giving us an extra minute of time after heating up food to decide if we want those same settings and to add additional time. I want to check my food, press numbers, and hit start. I'm sure some engineer got paid a lot of money to add more features to a microwave that wasn't needed simply to check off something on a checklist somewhere but they sacrificed flow of use for it. Yes it's a minor thing. Yes it doesn't take away from the overall product. Yes it still pisses me off every time I need to add an extra 10 seconds to something. Yes I'm removing an entire star because of this.

We have been looking for a microwave to replace our 20 year old microwave. I compared several ones and ordered this one because it met all of our needs. It opens like our old microwave, it’s at 1200 which our old one was too. Not sure what to expect with the child lock but we read about it when we received this. We didn’t think there was a problem with the child lock, just have to wait 5 seconds before you can open door. The sleek design and the black and silver match our kitchen to a tea. Also there are many quick cooking preset buttons like popcorn so it takes the guess work out. The light inside is a bonus and we definitely had to have out rotating. Very easy to clean, just wipe down with a cloth. I don’t see any finger prints on it. And this microwave is slightly busier than the other ones. Make sure you measure the space you have so this fits. This was a great choice for our family. We love it and I really did do a lot of research before I bought.

I waited to write this review until we’d used this microwave for months because I wanted to be sure I wouldn’t change my opinion (I haven’t). I hate this microwave with a fiery passion. If it was discovered that the designers purposely made it as annoying as possible, I would believe it without hesitation. 1. There is no one touch start for 1,2,3,4,5,6 minutes. Even if you touch the “Quick 30” button, you still have to hit Start to make it work. Do not, like me, underestimate how much you will miss one touch if you had it before. 2. The touchpad won’t work for a certain amount of time after use. So if you use this microwave and then want to use it again right away, you have to hit Stop first, put in the new time, then hit Start. 3. The touchpad options need to be pressed hard enough that it makes the microwave slide and then you have to straighten it back out. 4. Any cut to power resets the child lock. This lock cannot be disabled using the instructions in the manual. They don’t work no matter how many times you try and no matter how much you cuss at Panasonic for giving bad instructions. For me to disable this, I learned (thank you, Reddit) that I need to first open and close the door (why?! So stupid, but seriously, the rest of this doesn’t work unless I open and close the door first) and then press Defrost, Timer and Popcorn in sequence. Finding this solution took a lot of time and caused a lot of frustration but thank goodness I did because dealing with that lock every time you use the microwave is so tiresome. I wholeheartedly and without question do NOT recommend this microwave. The only question I do have when it comes to this thing is how long can I stand it before I break down and go get another Toshiba like we had before. To anyone who thinks they like this model, all I can say is it doesn’t have to be this way. There are other microwaves that do a perfectly fine job of heating up your food without being such a complete pia to operate.

This is our second Panasonic microwave. The first one lasted several years and had to be replaced. We bought one we thought was superior but what a mistake. It was 2 years of regret, 1000 watts and slow as could be. We finally decided just to just give it away and buy a new Panasonic Inverter. I researched it for a couple of weeks. The reviews and the inverter heating convinced me this was the one we wanted. I think it's top of the line, 1200 watts of just plain perfection. The "sensor cook" (reheat) button is great, we reheated a dinner plate full of spaghetti and sauce. We were skeptical and wanted to check it but we resisted. When the time was up the food was heated EVENLY, no cold spots or dried out food. Then the water test, 1:30 for water to boil in a coffee cup full of cold tap water. Thumbs up! And at last the popcorn test. 3 different weights of the bags to choose from. We used the option for our size bag, perfect popcorn, nothing burned. I cooked a bowl of instant oatmeal-it came out perfect and in less time than the box directions. I love the "quick 30" second button. That's all it takes to reheat a cup of coffee. Need more time hit it again. If I had one thing to be critical over it's the light on the inside. Pretty dinky. The inside has a blue/grey finish. That light should have been the standard microwave light just for that reason. The color doesn't help with the illumination. Not really a big deal we do have lights in our kitchen ceiling. Easy to clean off a splatter. I like that it opens with a push button. Just easier to clean. It's small but not that small It can hold a 10-1/2 inch plate with room to spare. This size is perfect for us we use ours just for the basic warm ups and small cooking jobs. Worth every penny. I have to admit this microwave was hard to find at a regular listed price due to the pandemic but Amazon had it for the listed manufacture price and we snapped it up. Actually, I can't believe the price is so low for a quality microwave like this one. Very happy with our choice.

This review is for the NN-SN67KS. I was on the fence based on some of the reviews, but had to see for myself whether or not such a highly rated microwave was worth the trade-offs, price premium, and risk of failures. Was the inverter technology so life changing that I could put up with some of the negative points others brought up? Were the concerns even real? Here’s what I found. 2.4GHz wifi interference: I was a bit skeptical, thinking there must have been something unique about the situations of reviewers that reported loss of wi-fi signal while this microwave was operating. Well, sure enough, while the microwave was running, here are some things I noticed. 1) my wireless IP security camera lost signal; 2) the video streaming to my google Chromecast got pixelated then paused and buffered; and 3) our wireless baby monitor (not network connected) lost signal. To be clear, these devices mentioned were all wirelessly connected via 2.4GHz. All devices that were connected via 5GHz (phone, iPad, etc.) were not affected at all. I can see this not being an issue at all If you only use fairly new devices and phones. Clock button: A couple users complained of having to set/re-enter the time every time they accidentally pressed the ‘clock’ button. Apparently, it was too easy to accidental hit the ‘clock’ button since it was right next to the ‘0’. This is a non-issue. If you accidentally hit the ‘clock’ button, you don’t have to re-enter the time. Just press ‘stop/reset’ button. This will cancel it and the time will show up again. Beep: It’s all perspective, but in my opinion, this had the least obtrusive and lowest volume “done cooking” beeps of all the microwaves I've ever heard. 5 short beeps. (long beeps always sound like they’re yelling at me). Note that opening the door will not stop the beeping. If you really wanted to, you can turn off all beeping sounds coming from this microwave, but you can only access this option when you first plug it in (or you can unplug and re-plug it in). Without pressing any other buttons first, press the ‘start’ button twice to access the option. Then the ‘timer’ button will allow you to cycle between on and off. Pg 11 of the manual covers this. Note that this will turn off all beeps including button presses. Light: In my opinion, it is on the dim side. The light itself is decently bright, but the problem is that it doesn’t cast a wide beam and there are defined shadowed sections where the light doesn’t hit. And while the dark grey interior gives it a modern look, it doesn’t reflect light like the more common white interiors, which makes matters worse. Not a deal breaker alone, but something that I had to get used to. Keypad buttons: - I found that this unit require noticeably harder keypad button presses. Coming from a unit with a more responsive keypad, it was a slight annoyance to have to pay attention to whether the keypress registered and whether I needed to shift my finger slightly or press harder. Other thoughts: - Of all the microwaves I’ve owned, this required the lightest touch to close the door. It follows that it also had the quietest latching sound. Overall, the mechanical build quality is top notch. - No one button start. Even the ‘Quick 30s’ button requires you to press the ‘start’ button. This was a big negative for me having come from a microwave that had one button start for 30sec as well as 1-6 minute cook times. But I knew this going in and thought it might be a small price to pay to have the inverter experience. - No flat plug. I used a 1ft flat plug “extension” cord since I needed it to sit against the wall with an outlet behind it. I posted a pic of the space behind the microwave. There are plastic standoffs that space the microwave a bit from the wall, but there’s zero chance the included straight plug will fit. - Another thing I noticed is that porcelain dinner plates and plastic splatter covers got much hotter (with the same temperature food) than with my previous microwave. I suspect this is related to the inverter technology. The thermal images in their marketing product pictures also seem to show a higher temperature mug, so probably not just my imagination. After 3 weeks of wanting to love it, ultimately, I ended up returning the unit. The little compromises just added up to be too much to put up with. After having to give up one button start, the additional trade offs of 1) the wifi interference, 2) keypad effort and 3) needing oven mitts to remove hot plates (a little exaggeration, but I certainly considered it on many occasions) was just a little too much. Who knows, maybe if I heated more frozen foods that tend to have cold spots (rather than just reheating refrigerated leftovers), perhaps the inverter technology would have been more life changing. Or maybe I'm missing the fact that it's all about the sensor cooking (which I didn't use) instead of the inverter technology. For whatever reason, people seem to love this microwave (Panasonics are also highest rated by Consumer Reports). But for me, it was just ok. In the end, this unit just made me realize what a major convenience it was to have one button start (specifically 1-6 minute). Anyway, good luck with your decision. I hope this review was helpful.

I replaced a 25 year old Panasonic with this Panasonic (hopefully this one will last as long). I read the other reviews and here’s what I found: it’s all about perspective. This microwave works well. The interior light is fine, bright enough for me to check on my food without opening door. Button response is same as my old one, so no issues for me. That muscle memory thing someone mentioned is real though so there might be a learning curve for some. As for the person who charred the door from microwaving nothing for 1 minute - shame on you, you should know better. The lack of an express button without having to press start might be an issue for some, but my old one was the same so I’m okay without one. The issue with how to add extra time is a non issue for me as I just a reheater. I don’t actually cook anything in my microwave, but perhaps with this new technology I might attempt it. I went from a 900W to this 1200W, so things happen faster. Good luck, it’s different for everyone depending on how you use it.

This is the second Panasonic microwave that has failed in less than a year of ownership. Both units saw very little use. The first unit died in under a month and was refunded but because this unit is almost a year old they will not refund the purchase.

Lo he tenido por un mes y ha funcionado bien.
