   It’s a nice microwave. As an example of its power, you may have cooked “Marie Callender’s, Chicken Pot Pies, 10 oz, 8-count” (available at costco) in your MW. I had a “1100W” model, one of those generic-ish ones that are branded by many different re-sellers (my MW before even that one was 99% similar). Using the old MW I had to cook at high for 6 min and 30 seconds to get the center to over 165F. The Panasonic NN-SN65KW cooks to the same in 5 minutes flat. The instructed range on the pot pie packing says 5-6.5 minutes. You may say, “well, so it’s faster but I’ve got time”. You’d think that, but the chicken does not get overcooked like it did at 6.5 minutes. The Panasonic MW has inverter-tech so if you want to “soften” things (fridge bread), use power level 2 for 20 seconds. It is a bit noisy (fan noise) but you can’t easily quiet a fast fan. UI would get 5/5 if the panel was back-lit, but what 180 buck MW has that? It’s noticeably lighter in weight than the old one.

   For a microwave of this price I guess i expected it to at least be on the same level of usability as my cheapy 1000w Hamilton Beach one that it is replacing. I wanted something with more power.PROS:Externally it is a fine unit – a nice sturdy looking black box with good tolerances on the door. The display, while somewhat small, is bright.It is certainly powerful compared to my 1000w. A breakfast dish I routinely make that took several minutes in the old one has been reduced by 40-45 seconds in this one.I have not tested the individual popcorn, defrost, etc. etc. to comment on those but I am sure they are fine.CONS:Now to the usability. I may be spoiled, but I expect when I press a button called “Quick 30” that it will start the machine with 30 seconds remaining, with no further action. For this model, “Quick 30” just means putting 30 seconds on the timer but NOT starting the machine. This reduces the total operation from 3 button presses to 2… I guess that is their idea of “Quick?”I have also been spoiled into pressing a number key and having it start up with that number of minutes unless I specifically choose to enter a time. Pressing 1 I would expect it to start up with a minute remaining – unless, as I said, I tell it that I want to input a custom time. But again, expedience is not a concern of this unit. A 1 minute cycle will take not 1 but 4 button presses (1 9 9 Start).The keypad is a typical cheap membrane and is not backlit. This makes midnight snacks into more of a pain but to be fair, most microwaves for whatever reason do not backlight their control panel or use real buttons. I just question whether these manufacturers actually use their own products to realize something basic like a backlit control pad would go a long way towards customer happiness.Once it is running you will notice just how VERY LOUD this fan is. I have not (yet) pulled out a sound meter to measure decibels but the fan is significantly louder than any other appliance in my kitchen, beating out an air fryer to take the crown.You will also notice that the interior of the box being painted a very dark grey makes the illumination by the one LED in the cabinet somewhat poorer than it could be with a white interior. LEDs being cheap they could have afforded a few more of them to provide better monitoring when you are cooking something that might be prone to spillover.OVERALL:I am not going to return the unit despite the annoyances of extra keypresses and poor design choices. I am simply not confident that other brands will not just have a different set of problems. This one does what I wanted it to do – be more powerful than the 1000w Hamilton Beach. But I am taking 2 stars because this is not a cheap box and they really should know how people use them.

   I LOVE this microwave. Reheating food is a balance between how much energy is introduced at the outside of the food and how quickly it convects through the food to warm it up. The inverter allows me to achieve that balance.I never have problems with my food sizzling and popping yet still coming out cold. I’ve found that the power setting of 4 works best for reheating food. The downside is that it takes twice as long to do it this way. But honestly, am I really in such a hurry that I can wait two minutes but not four?High power is great for heating water or thin soups, but not so much for reheating that leftover Thanksgiving turkey. The outside will get hot enough for the fats and oils at the surface to heat beyond the boiling point, which then causes the water droplets to immediately vaporize causing the sputtering and popping. Reducing the power level with an inverter microwave heats the outside more gently and allows conduction within the food to carry that heat to the inside before the outside heats up past the boiling point, warming it more evenly.If you’re the kind of person that just wants to put your food in and press a button to blast it with high power and “heat it as fast as possible”, you won’t get much out of the inverter technology… and you’ll continue to eat leftovers with the outside overheated and the inside still cold.As others have noticed, you also have to be very precise about where you press the buttons. They won’t register if you don’t press them exactly in the middle of the pad.Also, the microwave beep is very loud. I just shut off the beep (instructions to do so are in the manual).
