  • A high-quality microwave oven…except for the human-machine interface
Style: Keypad Color: White
The Panasonic NN-SN75LW 1.6 cu.ft Cyclonic Inverter Countertop Microwave Oven is touted by many as a high-quality pick amongst moderately-priced microwave ovens, and in our approximately one month of experience with it, one can see that the reputation is rightfully earned. It’s powerful, compact enough for countertop placement, and full of features—some expected, others less so, and some, at least for us, simply extraneous. In order to bundle all those features in one machine and a small surface area for the touchpad controls, the designers and engineers had to get a little creative. Which in turn leads to an interface that isn’t always as intuitive as one might expect or wish for. (Disclosure—I come from the school that believes that all microwave ovens should be of the sort that one can walk up to any microwave, anywhere, and pretty much instantly be able to do the basics—warm up coffee, heat up leftovers, “bake” a potato, boil water, etc.) This isn’t a microwave one can simply walk up to, look at the control pad for a moment, and proceed without further ado. Some things will work just fine that way. Others will not. And there’s at least one potential trap that could yield a rather bad outcome if one falls into it. Examples: 1. The Coffee/Milk button. Pressing this button once, one sees a message on the display: “1-1”, with a 1 or I in a square diamond, flashing. [I now take this to mean there’s more information to be gleaned about what one is seeing—that information in the Instruction Manual. I hope you didn’t throw it out.] It’s not clear what “1-1” means. Press the button again, and it changes the message to “1-2”. Press a third time, “2-1”, and a fourth, “2-2”. Pressing again begins a recycling of these choices. Whatever they mean. [Yes, it’s explained in the manual. Relatively simple, but still, certainly not fully intuitive.] 2. The Power Level button. This one reads “Power Level (11 levels)”. Which made me wonder if this was designed by the same engineers that produced the amps for Spinal Tap. If you press it once, you get Level 10. Press it again, Level 9, and so on, down to Level 0. Which isn’t for zero output, of course, but instead is intended to keep warm food warm whilst waiting for something to happen, someone to arrive, etc. This is odd, but acceptable. However, there’s another quirk to be recognized here. And this one is potentially dangerous. When I saw the Power Level button, I figured one could follow my usual modus operandi for power levels on microwaves: press in the time, select the power level, and press Start. So, I give it a try. I decide to cook popcorn for two minutes at level 9. Press in the time, press Power Level, change to 9, press Start. Nothing. Huh. So, I guess I need to put in the time after the Power Level—I press 2, 0, 0 for the time, then start, and ta-da!—it’s off and running. At the end of two minutes, the popcorn is popping very, very slowly, indicating it’s about done. And the microwave beeps, indicating it’s done, and..then it starts in one the SECOND phase of cooking. Thankfully, I realize what is happening before the popcorn is on fire, and I stop everything, remove the popcorn, sort the slightly charred bits out, and move along. But that necessitated a visit with the manual, wherein I learned that on entering the time first, I was also telling the oven’s brain that the power level for that two minutes was the default—level 10. The two minutes I pressed in after selecting level 9 told the teeny little brain—AI this is not—that the second cook time was to be two minutes at level 9. Had I not been paying attention, I could’ve set the kitchen on fire. Granted, we’ve been talking about a kitchen re-do, but a torch-the-room demo isn’t a good method by which to start. 3. Sensor Cook (Reheat). The oven has a “Genius” moniker added on the front, and it applies to the automatic sensor cooking. Which, really, isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. It really does require reading the manual, and, well, one hopefully gets the idea. I’ve learned the basics necessary to achieve what I desire from the oven, though, and it does a good job at doing the one job I ask of it—applying some microwave energy at some chosen level for a given period of time. It also does some other stuff. We’ll seldom if ever use most of those things, and almost certainly won’t get much use out of the Genius Sensor Cook feature. But it looks to be dependable, powerful, and it’s thus far been easy to clean, too. Four stars, with Five-Star Performance Rating reserved for those microwave ovens that are a little less likely to be able to produce a kitchen fire while still being adequately intuitive in their use. ... show more

  • Control panel interface is weird and clumsy
Style: Dial Color: Stainless Steel
I don't know who designed the control panel for this or what they were thinking. In order to cook food, I have to push power level, even if I don't want to change the power level. Why can't I just use the default power - turn the dial and push start? To add insult to injury, the power level button is not the top button or the bottom button or the first button or the last button. It's just somewhere in the middle. Apparently the most common thing people do with this microwave is make popcorn because that's the first button. Otherwise it's a fine microwave. ... show more

  • Nice unit but needs minor improvements
Style: Dial Color: Stainless Steel
Its a well made designed unit. Buttons and the dial are easy to use. For the price would have been nice to have backligt buttons so could easily see in the night without turning on kitchen lights . Also the cyclonic wave versus the previous inverter with genius sensor technology does not make a difference in heating . I think the previous tech heats as fast and well as this one and equally even. ... show more

  • Tactile buttons!
Style: Keypad Color: Stainless Steel / Silver
The media could not be loaded. Totally in love with this microwave! It's a little bit deeper than our previous Panasonic, so it covers the entire depth of our counter, and I paid a good chunk more thanks to inflation and the chip shortage than this microwave would go for in prior years. But other than those complaints, I'm very happy. The buttons are very tactile, with the pads actually sticking out from the flat surface. If you are blind or vision impaired, this is very sensory friendly! Particularly like the detail where the number buttons are round and the auto program and start and stop buttons are rectangles. The button to push the door shut is also recessed inside the lower right panel rather than being the entirety of the panel. For those of you who have the appliance inside a cabinet with a trim kit, you'll find it nice that the door open button isn't the entirety of the lower right corner like on other Panasonic panels — I end up rubbing up against the cabinet or counter and leaving fingerprints. Speaking of fingerprints, the stainless steel model is definitely a magnet for them. Thankfully, there really isn't that much stainless steel on the front of this appliance (unlike, say, your fridge or dishwasher). Much of the front is comprised of the glass window. The fingerprints that I did leave were easily wiped off with a microfiber cloth, no cleaning solution needed. The light inside is very bright and white in color (my previous microwave had a yellow light inside). I'm a big fan of the Panasonic inverter technology. It really sets it apart from other microwaves. My food is always cooked evenly. Final bonus: my wifi doesn't seem to be interrupted by the heating of my food. ... show more

  • It's ok
Style: Keypad Color: White
I've only been using the oven for a month or so, so I can't speak to the durability (although it's definitely much more fragile than my previous Panasonic microwave). Pros: 1. It seems to cook well, and it defrosts even better than my previous Panasonic inverter model. 2. I like the more contemporary look. Cons: 1. The buttons are hard to read, and even harder to press. Unless you’re in a bright room and know exactly where the buttons are, you’ll be pressing and pressing trying the find the right part of the right button to get it to work. 2. The light inside is dim. 3. The rotating tray inside is too high, making it unstable. 4. Less slippery pads on the feet would be nice, When I press a button, the oven moves back. ... show more
