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

    • Panasonic Microwave Oven
Style: NN-SN97JS
The inside of the microwave oven is very easy to wipe clean, when needed. The User Manual states to always use a cover over food and liquids; that is different from my almost 10 year old microwave (1000 W). This new one is a little faster. I use it every day to prepare meals. It is not noisy, like older microwaves. It fits well on the counter top, and functions well. It has many presets for frozen, fresh, left overs, liquids and snacks, if you choose to use them. There also is a finger pressure key button that unlocks the oven door. ... show more

    • Some Issues As I Describe But I can Live With Them
Style: NN-SN97JS
This review is for the Panasonic countertop microwave model NN-SN97JS(silver). I have had it about 6 months now. I like the way it cooks and the control buttons are logical to me. Many reviews for recent Panasonic microwaves have noted problems with the interior light not being bright enough and the door opening push bar not working well. They have also complained about the automatic lock feature. The automatic lock feature is required on all microwaves now because without it microwave manufacturer's will get sued if children get injured. It is easily disabled by hitting 3 control buttons in a sequence but is unfortunately re-enabled if power is lost. No use complaining about this unless lawsuits go out of existence. On this model, I personally do not have an issue with the interior light. It is not super bright but it is fine for seeing what is going on inside the microwave. The push bar for opening the door is still fussy. It seems that it has gotten worse the longer I have had it. Sometimes the door opens easily and sometimes it does not and takes several pushes. Occasionally it refuses to open unless you whack the door with your fist. It seems like it the problems may go away if you go through the button sequence a second time to disable the lock. I am still playing with it. I have been remodeling so I have had to unplug the microwave and reset the lock a lot. Panasonic should really be ashamed that they have not fixed this problem that owner's have complained about for so long. I like the appearance of the microwave with the black and stainless steel door/control panel and the silver grey painted sides and top. If you purchase this microwave, I recommend that you also purchase from Amazon the Gorilla Grip silicone coffee mat 15x23 in gray color ($19) for the top of the microwave. It perfectly fits the top and looks great with it. There is one other issue that seems common to larger microwaves that Panasonic should fix. The diameter of the ring with wheels on it that is under the larger diameter rotating glass platter should be increased. The platter can tip and fall off the ring when you slide heavy dishes off the side of the platter. The platter overhangs the wheeled ring too much so it can tip and become disengaged from the ring underneath if you push on the outer edge. It does not happen often but it is irritating. This would be an easy fix for manufacturers. Also note that like most almost all other microwaves, the control touch panel is not backlit. It has not been a problem since I can easily read the white labels against the black panel for each touch panel button. Noise during operation is average and not an issue for me. The thick (and a bit stiff) round power cord is about 40 inches long and connects to the top far right of the back of the microwave (viewed from the front). The microwave has to be close to the electrical outlet if the outlet to be used is to the left of the microwave. The centerline of the outlet should be no more than 14 inches from the left side of the microwave (viewed from front) for the cord to work. The cord plug sticks straight out from the outlet and is not a 90 degree "flat" plug. If you have checked reviews for other microwaves, you probably know that there are few if any that have good reviews. I checked countless reviews and could not find a microwave that did not have a lot of complaints. I can live with the issues on this one. ... show more

    • Terrible product. Read NEGATIVE Reviews!
Style: NN-SN97JS
I'd give this a lower rating if I could. I was dupped by independent review sites that claimed this to be a good product by a good brand exactly 2 years ago when I bought this (NN-SN97JS) model; it broke almost 2 years to the day. Back when I purchased it, I read bad user reviews and because of all the positive reviews, I figured all the negative reviews were rare cases. PAY ATTENTION TO NEGATIVE REVIEWS - new owners leave positive reviews but its only the overlap of people who've actually used the product and people who are pissed enough to actually come back to their order history that will actually tell you how bad a product is. This is a bad product that breaks out when its well out of warranty and the amount you'll have to spend to fix it will always be around the amount it would make sense to buy a new one. I'm switching brands because I remember just how terrible of a product this was: 1) Always burns popcorn or wouldn't pop most of the cornels if you used the auto settings. 2) It's hot zones were a joke and its "inverter tech" did nothing - it was no better than a normal microwave 3) The turn table would easily become unseated 4) The door mechanism would get stuck The only pro of this product was that it was big. That's it. Read the negative reviews and you'll begin to see these patterns. ... show more

$440 for a brand new Panasonic microwave oven that clearly outperforms the defunct 2017 Thermador microwave oven that would have cost nearly $2,000 to repair. However, some creative adapting to fit into the triple-unit Thermador stack [microwave / main oven / warming drawer] in the wall. Only downside: We wish the Panasonic unit had a “keep warm” function. ... show more

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

Style: NN-SN97JS
Review Image by Jeff S
Review Image by Jeff S
I purchased the Panasonic NN-SN97JS about 30 days ago to replace a Thermador MBES/01 microwave that stopped working. After researching replacement options, this model seemed like a good fit in terms of size and functionality, and I also bought the matching trim kit (Panasonic NN-TK932SS 30-inch Trim Kit) for a built-in look. While the dimensions were similar to my old unit, I had to make some adjustments to install the mounting brackets for the trim kit for the under-counter installation. Performance and Features The microwave performs well overall. It heats food evenly, and the presets are convenient to use. I also appreciate the modern design and spacious interior. The trim kit gives it a sleek, built-in appearance, which matches my kitchen perfectly. Issues with the Turntable Unfortunately, my experience wasn’t perfect. From day one, the turntable didn’t rotate. Attempts to contact Panasonic were not productive but after some online research, I determined the issue was likely a faulty turntable motor or fuse. I ordered a replacement turntable motor online, and after watching a helpful video, I was able to fix it myself with no special tools. The new motor cost $41 (including shipping). While I’m relieved the issue was fixable, it was frustrating and disappointing to encounter this problem with a brand-new appliance. Final Thoughts Despite the initial setback, the Panasonic NN-SN97JS is a solid microwave with good performance and a sleek design. However, the fact that I had to troubleshoot and repair a defective part right out of the box was a letdown. If you're considering this microwave, it’s worth noting that it may require some effort to install (if you're using the trim kit) and there’s a small chance of encountering issues like mine. That said, now that it’s working properly, I’m satisfied with its performance and would cautiously recommend it. ... show more
