Comment:
The controls are difficult to use. Twice it reverted to demo mode for no apparent reason. In failed in under three years giving a message of T98. Checking the Panasonic website indicated to reset by unplugging, waiting and replugging, but if that does not work (it did't, Best Buy doesn't do repairs and said send it back to the factory. If there is a known problem, why not fix the design?

Comment:
The door latch is so stiff that the unit moves when the door is closed and takes so much pressure to open that users must brace their feet. Online critics complain the plastic latches have broken under the pressure.<br /><br />Also, far more microwave radiation now seems to be escaping than when it was brand new, as evidenced by an abrupt increase in interference with multiple other electronic devices.<br /><br />Someone needs to test the product line for safety. I am about to purchase a microwave leak detector and will not be surprised if we must dispose of this unit.

CAUTION! Poor quality plastic door opening mechanism that breaks
10/13/2007
Strength
None.
Weakness
Door button is so hard to push that the right side of the oven moves backward when pushed, requiring one to straighten the oven again!Vividly shows every fingerprint on number panel and door.
Plastic door-opening-lever piece, behind the door button, broke at 2 years. The latch of the door is so hard to push up that it caused this small piece to break and we are having to replace it ourselves. (Cost of just the little piece of plastic is $10.00!!) If we took it into a service center, the cost would be $50.00. Every time you push the door button, you need to hold onto the oven or it slides backward due to the difficulty of the latch opening the door. Poor quality microwave door-opening device!

Beautiful Microwave
08/11/2007
Strength
Cooks vegetables perfectly.
Weakness
The product didn't last but a little over a year and it stopped working.
I am truly disappointed since I had my first microwave for over 20 years. I love the style. It fit the space in my kitchen and it was easy to replace in the space I had designed in my new home.

Panasonic Microwave Oven Model NN-H965BF
05/30/2007
Strength
Size,sensor heat,sensor reheat
Weakness
None so far.
My family uses this microwave daily since it arrived in March 2007. The interior is very large so I can cook almost any size food in it. The sensor cook and the sensor reheat are a terrific feature. It takes the guess work out of how long to cook food. The popcorn button gives you the option of setting it for a regular size bag or a mini bag of popcorn. The digital display guides you through different functions and it even displays Enjoy your meal when your food is done. This microwave oven has many more nice features that are not complicated and are explained in the manual that comes with it. My family and I have no complaints about the microwave and we give it an A+.
