Unsatisfactory product

published

Purchased Sept2018. Liked it because it didn’t have a turntable and was easy to clean.
From start did not cook as well as our old one, things took longer to cook or heat up. Persisted because thought just had to get used to it.
Door latch started playing up after 12mths, didn’t take it back as out of warranty. Now can’t latch door at all and therefore cannot get it to operate.
Would not buy again, will do more research next time

Good microwave system

published

Purchased 4/19. The microwave worked very well without any problems and was really impressed with no turntable. However the door latch/lock system has failed and I cannot now close the door. Unfortunately we have search the house high and low but cannot find proof of purchase. So exit microwave.

Not great

published

Purchased this microwave 5/8/2018, thought it would be better as it had no turn table which gave us more room, but didn’t realise that it had a mind of its own. You put food in it which you have been heating up for years pick your time and sometimes you can’t eat it because it’s that hot or it’s still cold.The other problem is when you go to open the door you press the door open button and it is delayed which is very annoying, these aren’t new problems this is from the start we just thought we had to get use to the new microwave next time I will do more research and will not buy one of these again.

Thanks for tips and tricks, but next time I will research my products better, if anyone wants to buy a microwave that is very inconsistent this is the one for you, don’t waste your money on this microwave

Not impressed

published

I've persevered with this flat-bed micro wave for a month now, but find it very slow and it definitely doesn't heat evenly. I'd happily swap it for an ordinary rotating microwave, which would have been cheaper too. What do I do now?

New style of microwave and I like it

published

This microwave doesn’t have a carousel, just a square base. Game changer, you can fit more containers in it, and very powerful quick heating. Lots of great defrost features also

[Brand New] Making Electric Pop Buzz Noise from back

published

We purchased the microwave few days ago, its making electric pop buzz noise from the RHS back. Very creepy!!! We knew the flatbed won't heat up the food as even as the turn table, but never had this creepy sound in previous experience!

Best Microwave ever!!

published

This is actually an incredible microwave. It cooks food far more evenly than a normal microwave that revolves the food (this just has a flat bed). The texture of cold food reheated is just as good as freshly cooked, and so far same with frozen meals (risotto). It’s really easy to use, love that it has a 10 min button (in addition to 10 seconds and 1 min), although I wish it had a 30 second button. And the recipe book it comes with is amazing!! Who knew you could cook so many things in a microwave!! And without any splatter, ever!!

Ours also caught fire randomly

published

We were satisfied with way it cooked and operated but while it was not in use we heard a bang and then heard the fire alarm and ran downstairs to smell electrical burning smell and see smoke coming out of the microwave. Very scary. I see we are not the only ones to have had this issue.

Caught on Fire When Not in Use

published

I really liked the microwave at first but after 18 months it spontaneously caught fire when it wasn’t even being used. We hadn’t used it for about 6 months because the door wouldn’t closed properly and so the microwave wouldn’t work (the same issue happened to my sisters microwave which was the same model). Luckily we were home watching tv when the microwave caught fire, otherwise it could have burnt our whole house down. I do not recommend and hope Panasonic recall this product.

Solid Good Looking Microwave with Sensor Reheat that Really Works

published

Very nice microwave for this price. I am very impressed. It’s solid and very good looking. Came very well packaged in a double box. Just had to unpack it and put the turntable in it. Plugged it in and reheated lunch using the sensor reheat mode. It worked perfectly. Heated up the food in a multi compartment microwave safe dish. All food items were the right temperature.

NN-SF564W / NN-SF564WQPQ

Hi team, good so far but appears noisy with apparently fewer moving parts than the turntable style. So what is the source of the noise? Just curious!

Hi Doug, sorry difficult question, could be the fan, the unit running or any other noise.

NN-SF564W / NN-SF564WQPQ

My NN-SF564W doesn't always start. Once started it works just fine, but getting it to go is tricky. Put in the time, press start, nothing. Put in the time, press start, nothing. Suddenly it says COOLING on the display. I press reset, then the time, start, nothing. Do variations on this theme and presto! It goes. Any help?
