Cooks every thing evenly

published

This is a dream as it doesn't give bursts of heat off and on till the article is cooked, it just seems to go so evenly and no more cold or uncooked bits. I eat a lot of salmon and with a plate on top of the one I cook/eat it from the salmon comes out moist and perfectly cooked.
Its very easy to set and clean (no turntable)

Hi Snooky, thank you for taking the time to provide the feedback on your new microwave. It is great to hear you are having such great cooking with your salmon.

It works

published

This inverter microwave is a good appliance that I use on an almost daily basis. The setting are easy for anyone to understand. The flat bed is very east and quick to clean. The only downside is the sound when the microwave cools down is excessively loud, and sometimes takes several minutes to stop.

Great!

published

I really like this microwave! No turntable means it's easy to clean. We use our microwave a lot. Food (or milk for a cappuccino) heat quickly and more evenly. The price is okay too. The only drawback is that the cook time has to be entered in increments of 10 minutes, 1 minute, 10 seconds. If the cook time is 7.5 minutes it takes 8 button presses to enter the cook time.

Perfect can't live without it

Use and daily basis
With having a big family we all use it on a daily basis and couldn't imagine not having one makes life so much easier being able to heat or cook something in half the time it would take in an oven.
Makes life so easy. .

Practical

Love this microwave, it has been the best we have had. The flat base with no rotating plate gives more room and heats food through. The quick choice options are great with turbo defrost my favourite it is a modern looking cabinet and fits in with our kitchen decor. Have had no problems with this microwave

GOOD SO FAR!!

published

Warming up food - drinks etc. seems to be slowly declining - that is not cooking as evenly as it did originally, I love the FLATbed design. So not having to fiddle around with and clean the old turntable. The LED light only just makes things visible - and needs to be brighter. Lighting was much better in my previous Panasonic microwave models.
Good looking design and easy to clean.

Pretty Good While It Lasted!

published

We were quite happy with this Microwave and agree with most of the positive points given about it in other higher reviews but it lasted just over 2 years. We were of course hoping it would last longer than this.
Was easy to clean and the turbo defrost function was very good. We were not annoyed by the cool down feature.

Awesome machine

published

Personally, Panasonic gets very high ratings for this models. Speed of heating is really satisfied me. Something not really mentioned here is that a trim kit could be purchased for this model, to place it inside of a cabinet. I'm not saying this is necessarily for over the stove, but okay for a "built in" cabinet look.

Stylish Design Suits Well

published

This is not only a brilliantly performing microwave it also happens to look wonderful in out kitchen. This also does away with the old revolving glass plate, so there is one less thing to worry about. It has enough room to fits normal sized crockery and the main point - it cooks thoroughly and very quickly. We are delighted with this and hope for many years of service

Replacing soon this one on gumtree

published

Used it for about 3 months now and up against a 15 year old microwave with a turntable we are very underwhelmed. It works but not as good as the old one, an example, when defrosting meat with he old one we had to take care not to cook the meat this one needs three or four goes to do the same job. When cooking with it the food is not evenly cooked unless you reposition it every minute or two. Keep and eye on gumtree for a bargain.

Money well spent

published

Buying this Microwave has been a life saver. It cooks meals so quickly it has saved me so much time when I have been running around and trying to get places in a hurry. Unlike other microwaves, I've had to go back and check my meals and then reheat them.

Great

This is a great microwave, it is so easy to use, easy to clean just wipe it out. No glass plate to worry about or to break. When the cooking time is done it has a cooling down time which is great. It cooks vegies nicely, you don't have to but a weight in just press up or down eg 100g, 200g so on. It really is an easy microwave to use . Love it. Good price. I would recommend this product.

This is the best microwave I've ever had.
It heats evenly and defrosts well.
The Settings are easy to use.
Not too loud.
Easy to clean.
Good size.
Having no turn table makes it better for putting larger or square size dishes in. Also makes cleaning the microwave much easier.

No problems

I use the microwave for pretty basic needs but have been very happy with evenness of cooking and find it very easy to clean (no plate to pull out!). Simple to use and intuitive button display. Nice and quiet although i usually stop before it finishes if bub is asleep as the final beeping can be quite loud.

NN-SF564W / NN-SF564WQPQ

Just bought the NN-SF64W today, literally used for first time, it is very noisy, almost like a rattling sound from the rear of the device when in operation, not sure what to think....

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?
