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

Everything I expected for a basic microwave. Works well, looks good and is easy to keep clean.

Great microwave, easy to use, I love the size due to small space. Great price. This microwave works fantastic, i have one that is a bit bigger and i love how it works so i got an small one for my kitchen.

I bought this microwave to replace a 2.2 cu ft., 1100 watt Frigidaire Gallery microwave that was too big for the space. I wanted to maintain or improve power, but reduce the footprint. This 1.1 cu ft, 1200 watt Panasonic has worked out very well. It is not perfect, but generally, it works great and its shortfalls are not deal breakers. Generally, it is very powerful, and does an excellent job of heating frozen prepared foods, which is mainly what I use it for. With one exception, it takes less time than my old microwave. The exception is heating a tall travel mug of water for tea. It takes longer, maybe because of the height of the mug in a much smaller space. The top of the mug barely clears the top of the microwave. I read every review here before I bought it, so I’ll address some of the concerns that others have noted. Noise: Yes, it is louder, but after you get used to it, it’s not a problem. Interference with Bluetooth and wifi: I have not experienced this. Non-responsive keyboard touch keys: I haven’t found these keys any more difficult to use than my old microwave. However, there is one strange quirk with this microwave which may be the reason that people are not happy about the keys. After a cycle is complete, and the dings sound, it takes 60 seconds for the time keys to re-set. So, if you want to stir something and put it back in, and you press the buttons, they will not work. You either have to hit “Stop,” or “Add Time” to reset, and then you can enter more time. Very weird, and completely unnecessary. Light: The LED light is sufficiently bright to see the food. No 1-press starts (press 2 for 2:00, etc.): Yes, you have to press 2-0-0 and then start, instead of just 2 and it auto starts, like other microwaves. Not the best design, but not a dealbreaker, for me. Sensor cooking: I’ve used a few options. The frozen and fresh vegetable sensor works very well. Potatoes, not so great. They are consistently under cooked, although I admit I have no patience with the instructions that tell you to let the potatoes sit 5 minutes after cooking. I want them done when the bell goes off. There’s a button to add 20% more time to sensor cooking, which I use, but I still find the potatoes need another 1 – 1:30 minutes. Popcorn: Sorry, haven’t used the sensor setting. I use a silicon popcorn popper, and set it for the same time as my old microwave, The popcorn comes out great. Stops beeping when cooking is done: Some people like to have the microwave keep beeping at you until you open to door. I HATE that. I’m very happy to have it beep 5 times and be done with it. That’s about it, hope this helps you if you are considering this microwave. I like it!

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.

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.

Our 20-year old 1500 watt Panasonic (1.5 cubic ft) finally died; it was a great microwave. I wanted something comparable, and this is it, only better. After a couple of weeks, I have tried out all the major functions by now. The first (and easiest) was popcorn. It was the best I have ever seen, using the 3.2 oz setting for the 3.6 oz Orville Redenbacher bag. There were no burnt kernels, and very few unpopped ones. The cooking times are comparable to the old one, even though this one is lower power. Maybe the old one was getting a little weak with age, or the new one is just more efficient. But the "inverter" technology (which actually refers to the power supply) is very good at controlling the heat and making more effective use of the power available. And the timing controls are the same as the old one, just with a few additional buttons for the new functions, so it is easy to use. My real favorite is the "sensor" technology. If you do it right (choose the right setting for the type of food, and use a vented cover so that the steam can escape), it takes a lot of guesswork out of common chores. I have tried both large and small baked potatoes (split in half with bacon on them), and they came out great; better than I could do with manual timings. Also omelettes are perfect; I do egg burritos with salsa and sausage or whatever. It allows experimentation with recipes without worrying about the cooking time or power. Vegetables are good too, though I use the "reduce time" button there to prevent them from being overcooked. I have a couple of minor gripes: the push button to open the door is a little bit of over-design, and may push the microwave around. Why not a handle on the door like the old one? And as others have noted, the light is dim. But I only use it to check boiling water once in a while, and with the sensor technology, I don't even need to do that much anymore. I just hope it lasts as long as the old one. It is a winner for me.

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.

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.
