Shop Panasonic

Today I bought a Panasonic NN-SD65LS Microwave. I bought it for several reasons. First, I kept having the thin plastic covering of the controls of the other microwaves I bought scratch up with my nails. I didn't do it intentionally but it is ridiculous that manufacturers don't realize that this might happen. So, this is microwave number three in the last three months. This microwave has metal buttons and a metal dial. This will definitely not become scratched. The second reason I bought it was because it is a Panasonic. I have sworn by Panasonic for over 40 years. I had a cassette recorder in the 70s that I dropped on the floor a few times. It didn't hurt it at all. Panasonics are so well made. I have, then, bought many Panasonic products through the years. They work well and really last. Until a few days ago, I didn't know that Panasonic made microwaves. I'm really glad that I found this out. I bought my microwave at Home Depot. If you search my model online, you will see that all of them are black and stainless. Mine is different. It has turquoise accents. For me, this is a pleasant surprise. My kitchen is an eclectic retro kitchen with blue walls to resemble the sky, some red retro small appliances to add color, and flowered curtains among other things. So, this matches perfectly. It gives it the retro look that I have been trying to achieve in my kitchen and this color is perfect to go along with the decor of my kitchen. I don't usually like to write reviews right away because, when I do, things break and I can't take that back. In this case, I am very happy to make an exception because I want to tell people to buy a Panasonic microwave. These are the best microwaves that you can buy for under $500. Mine was $199. And it's a 1.3 cu ft for that price. I did buy the service plan for $25 just in case but I will be thinking about whether I should cancel it because Panasonics don't break. I only bought the service plan because I have had so many problems with microwaves over the last several years. In total, I have probably bought six microwaves in two years. Some stopped working. Others became rusted. Some had that horrible plastic scratching on the controls. Microwaves have been bad luck for me before now. This microwave does come with the standard owner's manual which I will have to read because I'm not sure how to use this type of microwave. It is a Genius microwave with very many features. I love that it has all of the features too. I don't think that they will let me post a link here. So, I have listed the features. There might be other ones that I don't know about yet. Popcorn Button Sensor Reheat Button Sensor Cook Button Power level Button Auto Defrost Button Keep Warm Button Cooking Timer/Clock Button More Button Increase the cooking time by 10% or 20%. Less Button Decrease the cooking time by 10% or 20%. Start, Weight/Time, and Sensor Menu Dial You can set standing time, delayed start, or keep warm. It even has a child safety lock. Moms and Dads, you really need to consider this one. I'm thrilled to death that I found this microwave and I highly recommend buying a Panasonic microwave the next time you need to replace your microwave.
