Strength

No real strengths for this middle of the road model

Weakness

Mine broke down, bad service

Mine broke down this november (I bought it in March), not really used it that much. What is more, it broke down for no apparent reason, it simply given a code in the display and refuses to work for more than half a minute. To top it of, Panasonics customer service really is uniquely unhelpful. They first set you up with one of the automatic telephone assistances, who say they understand you but really don't. After that will put you on hold for ages, they want you to drive for miles (living in Manhattan, I don't have a car) to bring it to their service center. No reimbursement etc.. To summarize: don't buy a Panasonic microwave, you will regret it.

Panasonic NN-SN657S Stainless Steel Countertop Microwave

11/07/2008

Strength

Large capacity

Weakness

The body is not stainless, only the front door.

But I purchase this microwave for a special price. It is a great microwave for this price. Before I bought this product, I compare the other brand, Panasonic has a great commom. So I decided buy it. The microwave has a huge space inside. I had been used it 7 days, all my frozen foods are fine. It is easy to use it. I also recommand to my friend buy it.
