anasonic NN-SD667S 1-1/5-Cubic-Foot 1300-Watt Microwave Oven, Stainless Steel

 

Panasonic NN-SD667S 1-1/5-Cubic-Foot 1300-Watt Microwave Oven, Stainless Steel

Panasonic NN-SD667S 1.2 cft, 1300 Watts of High Power, One-Touch Sensor Cooking/Reheat, Stainless Face, Pop-Out Dial for easy Programming, Keep Warm/More-Less Control, Popcorn Key, Multi-Lingual Menu Action Screen, Inverter Turbo Defrost, Quick Minute,

I have to confess that I did not buy this from Amazon, but rather from Costco. The model numbers are slightly different, but both have identical specifications. While I shop a lot at Amazon and have always been pleased with them, the Costco price was just too low to pass up!
But you probably want to know how the unit functions rather than where I bought it. In a word, it is a great microwave. I thought the Inverter Technology was just marketing hype, but it really does make a difference - food heats up more evenly, and defrosting is faster and easier. Unlike past microwaves I've owned, I don't have to stir foods midway through -- just press sensor reheat, and the Panny does all the work for you.
Panasonic NN-SD667S .The control pad is easy to use, and the pop-out knob is a nice feature. I find knobs easier to use than a key pad, but hated having to clean them. This solves that problem - you have a knob to set time/weight, but it easily pops in so you can clean without any hard to reach crannies that trap dirt.
The unit looks very nice on the counter top. The top and sides are not, however, stainless. They are silver and look nice, but only the front has real stainless.
Lots of power (1300 watts) so food reheating is very quick. Has a rotating glass turntable. The inside is well designed both from a space standpoint as well as ease of cleaning. My only quibble is that the "done" chime is not very loud.
All in all, this is a very nice microwave, and I'd buy it again in a heartbeat.

Panasonic NN-SD667S Very good for me.
