Panasonic Inverter Microwave- new technology review
Vložit
- čas přidán 12. 11. 2012
- The newest technology in microwaves is inverter technology- championed by Panasonic and licensed to GE. The inverter lets the microwave actually cook at different powers. Traditional microwaves have psudo power levels- but they really are always cooking at either full power or no power. Using an inverter lets the Panasonic microwaves simmer foods and defrost evenly and completely.

My Panasonic Inverter microwave oven has been operating continuously since 2006, and I use mine several times a day. I recommend them to friends, but the problem is that nearly everybody thinks every microwave oven is the same as any other. The Inverter technology allows continuous simmering at lower energy levels and once you know what level to use for whatever you're cooking (oatmeal, pasta) there are no more boilovers. Also, these have some of the largest internal volumes per exterior volume of any microwave ovens.
Panasonic with Inverter Tech is the ONLY M-Wave I will ever buy again. My previous "basic" Panasonic lasted 10+years and was also great. My 1250 watt inverter by Pana still going strong after 6+ years of everyday use. Food come out fantastic! LOVE Panasonic
I will never buy another Panasonic microwave again, or anything Panasonic at all, old ones that were made in Japan were fine 90's and earlier, Newer ones are lucky to get 2 years without dying, sad because Panasonic and Sharp used to make the best microwaves, now they are both sub par.
@@REPOMAN24722 Panasonic is excellent,I have mine Two Year now
Have one of these from the late 90s I keep in storage as a backup, I'm using it now because my over the range stopped working from the door switch going bad till I can repair it. It still works great, love the inverter and sensor cooking.
Good overview. I have had 2 Panasonic 1200 Watt 1.6 cu ft microwaves (2004, 2007) with inverter technology and also 18 "Genius" auto sensor cooking menu options. My last one gave out this week and looking at the current models. I use my microwaves a lot to heat up and also cook food. Whether someone gets good use from the inverter and sensor technologies may depend on how the microwave is used, but technologies both were very much a benefit for me.
I loved my microwaves and got a lot of use out of them. Currently looking to get another and figuring out the latest models. Definitely recommend!
I agree 💯 percent
bought mine in 2011(stainless steel version) . it is still going strong in 2018. cooks tv dinners fully with wrap left on using sensor reheat button and start. those 2 buttons are the only 2 i really ever use. no cold spots anywhere ever.
You're a great reviewer! Would love to hear your thoughts on convection microwaves and how they compare to inverter ones, apparently they can cook evenly too.
My new Panasonic caught fire. Is the plastic inside the door supposed to be removed
thank you for this review it really helped!
I just bought mine a month ago I really hope it last for years to come
Good video... and very informative. Thanks for the help.
Is this new one still working after all the years? We are also shopping for a meeting microwave oven and want to have one that cook more evenly.
Do these inverter microwave ovens allow to reduce the power while cooking like on a gas stove without restarting it with a new programme? They seem to be lacking a knob for that. Let's say I bring the food to a boiling point and see that the level is rising and about to spill over.
I had a Samsung brand that cooked the food at full power for 30 seconds and then another 30 seconds the power was off. It was crap. Not sure what is wrong with it, because it failed with "P2" code, the display is fully lit and it won't start. I suspect it is in the electronics, which were unncessary if none of the reduced power programmes could actually be used.
So...what happened to the follow up?
what is the cubic feet of this microwave?
Just thought I’d mention, had my Panasonic combination microwave,dimension 4, in 1983 has just decided to retire.
baked spuds in a Panasonic Combi need to be tasted to be believed! Fluffy baked spuds! perfect every time.
Just so you know I had a microwave that was NOT a inverter system instead it had multiple windings on the trans former for different output's without turning on the transformer on and of consistently. It was a GE microwave.
our microwave --panasonic inverter model no. NN-SD681S starts burning at wave guide--whats wrong?
food on wave guid replace wave guid
Where is 2nd review?
Hmm, interesting. I just bought a similar model, thank you for your review!
I was wondering what inverter really is, as you said it is PWM, so I assume they basically speed up the HI/OFF toggling period from seconds to maybe ms ...
No idea
Had this tech in my microwave 30+ years ago
could simmer for hours, with timer too, was the best slow cooker i had
just cant remember name and also had no turntable
and was second hand when I bought it
couldn't find another micro that cooked the same since
bs
How do this last over the years? Does it heat more evenly and efficiently? If you will respond after 10 years which i dont have more hope for.
An excellent review. However it is not a new technology as I dif purchase the 2.2 cu ft model about 5_6 years ago and it worked quite well. Last week the inverter board was shot so i went out today and purchased the 1.6 cuft model with the genius feature.
I am convinced it is the best mivrowave on the market
I just bought a used one of these and need the operation manual. Does anyone know where I can get one?
Try Ebay.
Mine was a 1.1 GE that lasted 9 years. I just brought a huge 2.2 Panasonic inverter type. Way too big imo. But the family likes it. :/
Hello. I see this is an older post. I have the inverter microwave and the light bulb just burned out. Do you by chance have a video demonstrating how to replace the bulb? I contacted panasonic and got no response. Thank you!
Thanks so much for your response!
after using nnsn-755s once it is locked with a key symbol. what to do. not working
Md have you figure out? Help haha
Sounds like the child lock... Read the manual or press and hold the child lock button.
Question: I bought a panasonic NN 968 W a few years ago, possibly 8 years, today I it was in use and all of a sudden it stopped and a code appear on the reader H98. Would you know what it means and what needs to be done to fix it?
Thank you.
Hi. Exactly what happened with mine. Panasonic NN-ST452W in white colour. Bought it i think in 2014 , like the design,touch buttons etc..i only use microwave for heating food, never done cooking in it or any microwave actually but what happened, two days ago, we had power cut here and when they switched the power back on, microwave all of the sudden when tried to use it, set it up to 2 minutes 30 seconds to heat up my rice , it worked for 27 seconds and then switched off and the code H98 popped up on the screen. Nothing worked and actually when i touched the rice it was cold so it did not even work for those 27 seconds. So i turned OFF the power socket switch and back on again as none of the touch buttons worked. Microwave reseted itself (time) ,the code H98 disappeared but as soon as i tried to use it again, the same happened, only 27 seconds pretend to work and then back H98. When opened and closed the door, the fan started running for strange reason and i AM DISAPPOINTED. I liked that microwave,i got used to it,i never used any other program apart from heating food or defrosting once in a while and i thought it would last a bit longer. Found on the internet that the code H98 is faulty MAGNETRON,you can even watch videos of replacing it, it apparently could cost as little as £25 which is I think reasonable price as this microwave this particular model today still costs around £160 but we ordered new one, Bosh 25 litre which DPD delivered 25 minutes ago and it is already in the place. From now i am going to stick with the Bosh as we have had the same dishwasher, tumble drier and until last year washing machine for over 20 years. The old Bosh washing machine developed some sort of the code last year so we decided to get new Bosh which is much quieter than the old Bosh but lasting 20 years is i think very good deal and as i said , our old Bosh dishwasher and tumble drier is still working perfectly after decades and you can even buy it today new in the shop with slightly renewed design looking almost the same as the old ones,so not that much seemed to change in this world(apart from electricity consumption i guess) Also few years ago,we got John Lewis fridge which broke down after two years. I like John Lewis as the shop BUT Never John Lewis electronics again, It was year or two ago and we got new one from Bosh which so far is working and i hope it is going to be no trouble for as long as our other Bosh appliances. I use for my DIY tools from Bosh and i am all for Bosh,any of their product.
@@lukaskurtansky7180 itr's old
I have the same model and same problem the door will Not stay open
You never followed up with a 2nd review of how well it did or did not work, not that I could find.
Yeah I wondered when he did this review.. And when the video ended and he said I'll follow this up I literally said out loud.. DID YOU THOUGH? and surprise suprise..he fuckin didn't.
maybe he got health issues...from the microwave. @@ryanclemens3880
I have a Panasonic Inverter microwave that was made in April, 2006. I had to replace a door latch a couple of years ago, but otherwise, this is the most reliable and useful microwave oven I've ever had. The inverter thing really makes it more useful than any other kind of microwave oven. It can simmer stuff continuously at lower levels thereby avoiding boilovers.
Breaker tirip problem & why check oven. please help me.
I have the same problem with mine too. I bought it 2 months before. how did you solve the issue?
My 1983 GE over the range microwave died this spring after only 30 years. I replaced with a Sharp because it's very simply relay controlled, no triacs or SCR's, I like to keep things simple.
I hope it lasts half as long as my old one did and I hope yours lasts as well.
Same experience here!
The microwave is awesome . . .the door latch is ridiculously cheap and loud when the door is closed. The cheapness of the door latch means that unless you want to take the cover off and bend the door latch assembly bracket over occasionally to make it possible to get the door to register as closed without hitting it with your fist. Definately do not recommend the ones built by Panasonic (they say to just keep taking it in for service) . . . perhaps GE builds them less cheaply.
how is it doing over the last few years
mine exploded

ps panasonic owened Emerson till 2011
These are the worst microwaves they don't cook well and it takes them time to heat ! I had two of them and am unsatisfied!
It's unfortunate,I have two and they are the best thing I ever had. It's great on energy and cooks evenly and super fast!
PWM - Pulse Width Modulation - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulse-width_modulation
I will NEVER buy another panasonic product again -as long as I live. I bought this microwave and the metal holding the door safety interlock assembly is so flimsy that it constantly needs to be bent back into position. Panasonic USED to make decent equipment, and this microwave is a really nice one. I could have paid a LOT LESS, but I figured quality costs. Not so with panasonic. Junk. -I also purchased a panasonic DVD / VHS combo unit (DMR-EZ-48V) brand new from a local chain store. Both of these products didn't eve last a year before they started failing. I paid almost $300.00 for the DVD combo unit. I replaced it with a used pawn shop Samsung that is still performing flawlessly for $50.00. I was really upset when the microwave failed about 1 year after purchase. It's not worth my time to argue with some stonewaller in customer service, or the shipping to send anything back.. but I will cut, copy paste and tell others: IF YOU WANT PANASONIC PRODUCTS -DONT COUNT ON ANYTHING LASTING MORE THAN 1 YEAR. IT WILL FAIL YOU -just like panasonics (past good) reputation has failed me twice in the last 3 years...

This is literally true. We've only had our Panasonic Inverter microwave for about a year and in the last 2 weeks it's started showing signs of failing. Now, when we press the start button, nothing happens. Have to keep opening and closing the door and eventually it may want to run once. Rinse and repeat. It's going to the scrap yard today.
You probably got the made in america version.
This is the problem with my mom’s microwave. She hasn’t even had it that long. I was looking at the troubleshooting guide. Maybe it’s a bad fuse? I’ll look into whether it’s worth repairing.

“new technology” review...
panasonic microwaves are very reliable my last 18 years old half way still working but think turntable motor maybe going out its last 3 times longer then my Amana aka kenmore so go with panasonic
H 98 ERROR! !!
... and no follow-up
So the term "inverter" is a lie, and these actually use the opposite (a rectifier) to work. There ought to be a law prohibiting deliberately misleading nomenclature.
Think about it: an inverter is what creates AC electricity. To apply an "inverter" to an AC power source is worse than pointless.
This it a whole bunch of BS. PWM modulation is used in all, both inverter- and HV-transformer microwaves! Any magnetron always works at 100% power, and the only way to implement different power levels is to PWM. Of course there's no difference for defrosting and such.
I don't like those ring things that spin the tray, they erode the paint on the bottom then the oven gets rusty and the bottom gets holes. Almost all new microwave ovens have those rings, I see it like a big scam, I hope some people can class action them.
Please translate into Arabic
Panasonic sucks. Their microwaves don't last. They will stop after starting
This is the biggest piece of junk out there today mine lasted two months panasonic anything is garbage
you should have warranty
@@carlanderson9956 Qvc shopping channel ten dollar gift certificate was all they would do
very unreliable brand.
He meant Pulse Width Modulation - not Pulse Wave Modulation. There is no such thing.
There is no rocket science to this technology. It just hasn't been applied to a microwave oven until now.
It is used all the time to control things like variable speed blenders, food processors, tools and dimmable lights.
Who cares
Because it puts the hype into perspective, Jack shimizu. I didn't need anyone to explain that to me but I figured it out -- What's wrong with you?
The consumer never gets a straight answer because these suppliers think we are a bunch of schmucks which is unfortunately somewhat warranted. I actually know what pulse width modulation is and the definition is everywhere. So now we have it: The magnetron operates at rated full blow for pulses at "max boost" scattered perhaps evenly ( along the time axis) with adjusted duration i.e. width so the thing is no different than the old fashioned way of switching the magnetron on and off at max power except it is finer grained. No wonder the damned things wear out quickly - they are worked to death - that is the power supply is. Now a better more honest way of reducing the power might be by automatically placing a variable absorber between the magnetron and the food and "waste" the unwanted energy. What a misuse of the word "inverter": it also has definition!
