Power & Performance
The NN-SD372S Panasonic Microwave Oven has a power output of 950 Watts, and this makes it only slightly more powerful than the Commercial Chef CHM009 Microwave Oven, and significantly more powerful than the Nostalgia Microwave. The difference in performance between these two microwaves might be negligible, but the general rule in regards to power output on microwaves is that the higher the wattage, the faster it is in preparing your meals. The NN-SD372S microwave also relies on inverter microwave technology to whip up a meal, and in doing so, the meals come out more evenly cooked compared to a conventional microwave.
Durability
Most microwave ovens tend to last up to 10 years of use with good and proper maintenance, and the same rings true for the Panasonic NN-SD372S microwave. It comes with a 1 year warranty that should be able to see you through the first year of use without any major problems, and it’s got a stainless steel body that’s pretty easy to clean.
Ease of Use
The Panasonic NN-SD372S microwave makes using it very simple to do, as it comes with a genius sensor that takes care of the power levels and time required to cook your favourite meal. All you have to do is put your meal inside the microwave, indicate what it is from its one touch auto cook options, and let it get to work. You won’t be able to do the same on the Top Rotary Commercial Microwave Oven, though its two mechanical knobs make it a lot easier to use than the Panasonic microwave oven NN SD372S. If you want a microwave oven that can broil, roast, slow cook, or even bake your favorite meals, try the Sharp Over-the-Range Convection Microwave.
Added Features & Versatility
Defrosting your meat, frozen fruits, or vegetables will take almost half as much time on the Panasonic stainless steel microwave thanks to its inverter turbo defrost feature, that only needs the weight of the food you’re putting into it to get to work. You won’t get the turbo to defrost feature on the Toshiba EM925A5A, but on the other hand, it’s also got a mute function that’s also missing on the Panasonic microwave. They both do have a child lock feature, and 10 cooking power levels, but that’s about as far as their similarities go.
Value
The Panasonic microwave is a reliable, well built kitchen appliance that offers most of the conveniences that people look for when shopping around for a microwave, plus a few other extra features that most people find very handy. It’s got a keep warm feature for example that keeps your food warm for about 30 minutes after the microwave is done cooking it, and since it also relies on Panasonic inverter technology to work, you’ll always be able to enjoy well cooked food with no hotspots.
Panasonic NN-SD372S Wrap Up
At 950 Watts, the Panasonic NN-SD372S microwave isn’t really a high power microwave, but the fact that it relies on inverter technology makes it work a lot better than a number of high power microwaves.
