Description

When it comes to everything you expect in a microwave, nothing compares with the defrosting, cooking and reheating capability of the Panasonic NN-SN97JS Countertop/Built-In Cyclonic Wave Microwave Oven with Inverter Technology and Genius Sensor. At every temperature level, Cyclonic Wave circulates heat in precision, ultra-efficient 3D waves for easier, more versatile food preparation--even with denser, more complex food textures. This exceptional 1250-Watt, 2. 2-cubic-foot capacity stainless steel microwave with 16. 5-inch turntable also includes patented Inverter Technology which, unlike traditional microwaves that rely on pulse-on, pulse-off power at lower temperatures, delivers a constant stream of cooking power at every temperature for more evenly cooked meals - edges to centers - every time. With the touch of the Genius Sensor cooking button, this microwave takes guesswork out of creating a great meal by automatically setting power levels and adjusting cooking or defrosting time for added time-saving convenience. The sensor measures the amount of steam produced during cooking and signals the microprocessor to calculate the remaining cooking time at the appropriate power level. A selection of 20 auto cook options enable you to quickly prepare your favorite foods, such as pizza, popcorn, pasta, soup, oatmeal and other dishes. This Panasonic microwave oven externally measures 14" x 23 7/8" x 19 7/16" (H x W x D).

  • Cooks incredible well - didnt realize microwave could be this good
Style: NN-SN97JS
Cooks very well, doesnt create hotspots, cooks evenly and well. Features: I am not sure what it is about this - maybe the Genius sensor or the Cyclonic wave? BUT it works phenomenally well. Well worth the cost.read the instructions and it will show you how to cook so many things well. The negatives I see are: you have to press the sensor button to cycle through the different settings. It would be so much easier to hit "Sensor, 4, start" rather than hit sensor 8 times then start. however the defaulted "6" sensor setting reheats everything perfectly. the ability to add a little or take a little away with one button (the ones next to zero) make it easy to tweak to your preference/need each time. The door opening press button/lever is a bit wonky and feels fragile. You have to hit it right, and 85% you do first try. Noise level is low and the beep is audible but not loud or shocking. Color is grand, I thought it would be stainless steel, but he stainless paint color is hard to tell even from an arms length. The child door lock reset when power is removed. I understand why they did that, and the child lock is a a nice feature but having to look up the three key code to turn it off is a hassle. (its only one key to unlock the door after cooking) Power and size - this is well endowed. It cooks better and faster than my previous MW, which had more power and less features. It will fit large bowls easily as well as medium size pans for larger items. ... show more

  • Perfectly fits my built-in space.
Style: NN-SN97JS
I replaced my 44 year old built-in Panasonic microwave with this model which fits the built-in space and trim perfectly. It arrived in strong packaging and works well. I do have the same recommendation as others for improvement that a brighter light inside is needed. Pros: it fits my space, is large inside, and heats evenly. Touch screen is easy to use. Cons: Needs a much brighter light inside, the glass turntable requires some maneuvering to fit correctly on the gear that rotates it, and the wheeled bracket that supports the turntable is not as strong as my 44 year old version. I hope it lasts. Overall I am happy with it, most especially because it fits the built-in space well and is large. ... show more

  • Good microwave, skip if planning to cabinet mount.
Style: NN-SN97JS
Microwave seems to work well, previous experience with Panasonics was a little better. But be warned about installing this into a cabinet with their kit it’s nightmare to put in! This Panasonic microwave requires a side vent that after it is put on makes it impossible to install without removing the magnet contacts that are screwed into the cabinet. So remove the mount, but then it’s extremely difficult to reattach the mount with the dumb vent in the way. So I ended up have to a the vent a little and use snake screw bit and 90 degree bits to re attach the mount. And for those that will say I installed mount upside down I didn’t because they don’t line up the other way to the magnets because I tried. Then I get it all in line it up centered to the microwave. Open and close the door and those super strong magnets can’t hold the frame from sliding down after a few slams of the door and it ends up sitting on the top edge of the microwave. Which leaves an awful gap at the bottom, so I had to screw in some stopper screws so it would drop down. Also edges are razor sharp so hopefully you won’t have any little kid fingers slide along them. ... show more

  • It's a big one!
Style: NN-SN97JS
I did a lot of research, read reviews, etc. before I pulled the trigger on this. I honestly didn't care to have one this big, but it seemed to be the only microwave, I found, under $400. or so, that didn't have scary reviews in the one star category, at least on Best Buy's website. Part of the reason I'm saying that is, I noticed that the reviews for this unit on Amazon, seem to be talking about a different model number. Take a look for yourself, and I think you'll see there's something fishy here, when below the reviewers title it gives you a different model number than this unit, which is NN-SN 97Js. I just wanted to make that clear and just for interest, I noticed that there's some bad one star reviews here on Amazon, but Best Buy's reviews for NN-SN 97Js are all pretty good. Getting to the meat and potatoes of things. So far I'm very pleased with the microwave. I can actually read the names on the control panel and they seem to work alright. That's always a big concern for me on any control panel these days, because they can sometimes wear out early. I'm certainly hoping for the best. I've only cooked a few things in it, so far, but they seemed very evenly cooked, probably better than my old microwave. I like the fact that it's quieter than my old microwave and doesn't sound like a B-52 bomber when you start it up. I feel lucky because when I looked up places I could take it to in the event of a failure under warranty, there is one right here in San Diego. I also bought an extended warranty from Asurian for 4 years, and apparently they'll send you a prepaid sticker if you have to mail it in to them. The way I understand it is that you can only use Panasonic's warranty for the first year, then the Asurian extended kicks in for the remaining 3 years. In other words, the Asurian starts counting down the day you buy the microwave. The good news, to me, is it only cost an extra 44 bucks or so. I noticed that one reviewer complained at how ridiculous and difficult the programming and engineering design was on this unit, but to me, it's not "that" bad. You do have to click the power button 11 times in order to take it to the "warming" setting, but you have to click the button different amounts of times depending on what power setting you want anyway. He's probably right, that they could have designed it to use the number keypad for the power settings but I can live with it. I do like that, according to some literature, the power settings are "real" power settings and not just some cheesy setup where the microwave stops for a while just to make it seem like your cooking it on a lower temperature. In other words, say, when you cook it on Power level 3 it really does take longer for your food to cook. I think 3 is the number you'd use for defrosting. All in all, I'm pleased and it has all the stuff I would want on a microwave. Of course the real test, is how long will it last, and/or, will they honor the warranty if needed, and so on and so forth. I'll make it a point to put an up-date on this review after I've used it for a fair amount of time. Marc Trainor. ... show more
