Panasonic 1.6 Cu. Ft. Countertop Microwave Oven with Inverter Technology - NN-SN936B

BW & ABAPBW & ABAP: I got this microwave in white color because all our appliances in the kitchen are of white color. Finding appliances in white color is becoming harder over the years. We're not willing to replace all our appliances and we're not willing to mix and match. So, we struggle to find the best white ones and compromise on a lot of things.

Our previous microwave (Whirlpool) was in a cabinet and had trim kit. That microwave gave a lot of trouble over the years and we finally got tired of getting the repairs done. I temporarily bought a cheap microwave from a local B&M store for interim use until we find a suitable microwave.

All our search was unsuccessful. White color, trim should be available, and everything should fit well within the cabinet space. We settled for this Panasonic microwave even though it doesn't come with a trim and it is plain and simple without any modern amenities. I had to add a piece of wood to the cabinet to cover a gaping hole, but at least I didn't have to hire a professional.

Positives:
+ Large. Quite large in fact.
+ Powerful enough. Heats up quite fast due to the inverter technology.
+ Inverter technology works well.

Dr. Jay: This microwave works extremely well and has a couple pitfalls as well.

Pros
1) Inverter feature does what is promised. The middle/center of any cooked or reheated foods is as hot as the perimeter almost always. I’m especially impressed with ability this has to accomplish this result with frozen foods.
2) I rarely if ever overcook or burn popcorn. The popcorn setting works with a sensor and it does a great job.
3) Works well for melting items such as butter. It did take a few tries to figure out best way, though. I now know Power Level 2 and 42 seconds melts two tablespoons of butter perfectly. No exploding.
4) Reheat sensor works very well. I tend to forget that I have something in Microwave when I’m working on a meal. This reheat sensor saves the day.
5) The auto cook feature for heating soups or making baked potatoes is awesome. Sensor works well so items are usually cooked well. Not over or under done.
6) inside is very spacious. Rarely do I have a casserole dish that’s too large to allow the turntable to keep spinning.
7) inside is relatively easy to clean. I usually soak some paper towels with dish soap, pop it in the microwave and heat for...

Rafael León Marchena: Todo bien, calienta los alimentos súper bien, lo único que le veo de detalle es que en el táctil de los números tiene como un plástico que los recubre que al mes de uso ya se despego y pareciera como si estuviera pelado del botón, pero hasta el momento es el único detalle, funciona bien

DavidB: This is a great microwave for countertop use, although it is large. It comes right to the edge of my counter, and fills the space below the cabinet almost completely. It is powerful, at 1200 watts, so it cooks slightly faster than most units, and for the price I recommend it.

The interior of the unit isn't cluttered with little bumps and rivets, which makes cleaning easy. One thing to keep in mind for cleaning is that the rotating glass platter is large. You can almost fit two serving plates side by side. It may not fit in a dishwasher, it's that big.

There are only a few things to keep in mind. Firstly, almost everything about this is loud. The door mechanism, both opening and closing, is loud. The beeps on the keypad are loud. The beeps at the end of cooking are loud, and annoyingly don't stop when you open the door.

Secondly, the sensor reheat is overall pretty good. It is basically a steam sensor, so you have to take into account the type of item you're cooking, but I find that it works a bit better if covered with a paper towel for most items. If you don't do this, you may have to take it out, stir and then put it back in for 30 seconds or...

CC: The media could not be loaded.  Escogí este modelo por que era el único de tamaño grande (2.2) que costara menos de $500 dólares pero desgraciadamente se nota lo "económico" en los materiales. El WiFi y bluetooth dejan de funcionar cuando se usa el microondas, parece simple pero esto ha dado MUCHOS problemas. Todo el plástico se siente ligero, delgado y frágil. La puerta al cerrarla suena como resortes de cama vieja. La ventana en la puerta tiene plástico y llegó hundido, abollado. Con uso NORMAL se dañó un botón de la superficie. No noto ninguna mejora de desempeño en comparación con mi anterior micro del 2008 (en serio ).
