My mother has this microwave and after a few uses I realized how glad it is not mine. Small things about it that frustrated me, but a long list of small things...
(1) Operation is LOUD for a brand new microwave...my moms 15 year old one wasn't that loud (nor is the brand new one in my home).
(2) Door feels horribly cheap like it's hinges would snap & break with the slightest amount of pressure
(3) Opening the microwave is a pain because the button is so HARD to push in. The microwave itself is not very heavy for one this size, so you have to hold it in place and then push the open button (or it will slide all over your counter)...this was the most frustrating thing for me
(4) Shutting the door is a task, you can't just gently push it and expect it to shut...you have to put some mmmpphhh into it and push it shut...and then when you do, it is horribly LOUD
(5) Most microwaves with an "Add Minute", "Add 30 Seconds", "Quick Minute", "Quick 30 Seconds", etc button only make you push that button to add the minute or 30 seconds before it starts...not this one! It makes you push the "Quick Minute" button and then the start button before it starts. Whats the point of a "quick" button if you have to push multiple buttons? A silly complaint, but an important one to me
(6) WHO designed this thing?? The pictures don't show what the front of it really looks like in person, but they should because it is plain ugly. All microwaves have those gray-like waves in the door window so you can't totally see inside, but this one has brighter blue-like colored waves and they are huge! So huge that you can hardly see inside when the microwave is running. It is just tacky looking and takes away from a huge feature that most people NEED in a microwave (to be able to see inside when things are being cooked!!)
(7) My 1 year old weighs more than this microwave...and if you have ever picked up a microwave, you know this can't be a good thing. It just doesn't feel like it has any quality built into it. Yes, it is easy to move around if you needed to, but why would you want to?? I want a microwave that stays put on my counter when I'm using it and this doesn't. The only thing that feels solidly constructed is the glass turntable (which by the way is huge!)
(8) So...this is supposed to be 1250 watts, huh?? I don't think it performs like a 1250 watt oven by any means. My mothers 15 year old 1000 watt and the 1000 watt one in my home both out cook this thing by a long shot. Something that takes 25 seconds to heat in my microwave takes about 45 seconds in this one, I then have to mix it and reheat for another 20 seconds or so.
So, in short...I wouldn't buy this microwave. I gave it 1 star because it worked, the 2nd star because it is cheap, and a third star only because it is big. Even if you are on a budget and need a big oven, don't buy this one.

We purchased the Panasonic NN-H965WF on July 28, 2005. It was wonderful, and one of the most attractive ones we found. We selected it partly because a 9x13 glass baking dish would fit in it with ease. The microwave refused to run more than a few seconds tonight, and emitted a bad smell so it is now unplugged and waiting to be hauled away. We expected it to last far longer than four years, three and a half months! Our old Sharp gave faithful service for over twenty-five years!!!

UNRELIABLE -- I have had mine about 4 years. I had to have it repaired a couple of times under warranty, and then two more time that I paid for. Now it has failed yet again. If I were to repair it this time, my repair costs would exceed my purchase price.
INTERFERES WITH WIRELESS NETWORK -- when on, it brought my wireless networking essentially to a stop. The microwave it replaced has slightly more power, and has no discernible effect on my wireless network. For now, I am going back to that.
BOTTOM LINE -- I'm going back to my older microwave, and if I really do miss having one this big will buy something other than a Panasonic.
Too bad about the problems, because I like the large size (for large baking dish, or defrosting a good-sized roast), and (when it works) it cooks well. I just cannot see paying $60 or so per year to have it fixed (not to mention the inconvenience).

Based on the reviews I've read here, I am scared to buy this appliance! Based on the reviews I've read on other microwaves, I'm scared to buy ANY microwave!
It appears that QUALITY and LONGEVITY are not priorities of ANY manufacturer. I think they want you to buy a new (anything electronic) every year or two. Sorry (appliance manufacturer) - I'm not going there.
I don't have that kind of disposable income.

I have to note that I do not own this particular model. Models change from year to year, and the limitation of Amazon reviews is that they tend to be made by new owners.
Based on my experience with two predecessors to this oven, however, I want to leave potential buyers with a caveat:
The first lasted barely a year before it died: the oven stopped heating, and the timer was messed up.
Because we liked the large size and other features, we purchased the next year's model. This one lasted four years, but this morning it died the same death--would only set for a few seconds, generated no heat during that time.
Our previous microwaves (Quasar and Sharp) lasted for over ten years, and based on the similar symptoms on the two Panasonic models, I just wanted to caution buyers that this may not be the best oven available.
