Panasonic NN-SD997S Prestige 2.2 Cu-Foot 1250 Watt Microwave, Stainless Steel Review

We've had this microwave for several months now, after replacing an old one that was having trouble (which 1/4 of the plate that it decided to heat on any given day was apparently determined by the phases of the moon, or possibly sun spots).

First of all, this is a good size microwave.If you are upgrading from a smaller one, be sure to check the dimensions listed in the product description before ordering.

It's very well built. It gives the impression that it's probably going to last forever. All of the buttons, the dial, the door and its release mechanism are all very solid. The inner rotating tray and the rotation mechanism that it sits on are also well done -- even with a really lopsided load, the rotation of the tray remains smooth.

The performance of this microwave has been stellar.As mentioned in another review, the Popcorn mode is perfect -- I have yet to see a single burnt piece come out of a bag.The "Sensor Reheat" mode has been spectacular for me as well.Just put the food in, and press the button. I use it all the time for leftovers, and wow!As a matter of fact, just yesterday I used it to reheat a plate that included ground beef, mixed vegetables, and a large amount of mashed potatoes -- nothing was overdone, and the mashed potatoes were hot all the way through!

The unit itself is quiet -- it probably operates at about a third of the volume of my old one (admittedly, that's not saying much).My girlfriend thinks it's hilarious that the display says "Enjoy Your Meal" after it finishes heating.

There are a number of features that I haven't tried, since I haven't had a need for them yet.If I end up using one of these features in the future, I'll update this review with the new info.

All in all, it's a great machine. Easily the best microwave I have ever owned. It's expensive (mine was an open box item at a local retailer, purchased for $179), but the capabilities (and the distinct sense that it will last forever) make it a worthwhile investment.
