Overview

The Panasonic NN-SU158S is a 1.9 cubic foot, 1000 watt over-the-range microwave with a handle-less smoky glass front and static touch controls, aimed at kitchens wanting a low-profile black finish.

Amazon's listing for this model does not include manufacturer spec bullets or seller copy, so what's known here comes from the title and from what buyers who own it describe. Several reviewers mention it replaced an older Advantium-style oven and fit the same cutout, and more than one flags daily upkeep from the glossy black, handle-less front.

  • Over-the-range mount

Who it's for

Kitchen remodels wanting a sleek, handle-less black microwave to replace an aging over-range unit. It is a weaker fit for anyone who relies on a quick one-touch minute button.

What buyers say

From Amazon customer reviews.

Reviewer sentiment is mixed. Several like the look, and one appreciated the quiet operation and interior visibility, though that buyer's unit arrived dented and said Panasonic was slow to respond until Amazon stepped in. Others report real frustration: the handle-less black finish shows fingerprints constantly, there's no one-touch minute button so setting time takes five presses, and the clock and timer sharing one button led one reviewer to lose track of cook times repeatedly. One reviewer said their unit failed within a month.

Strengths and trade-offs

Drawn from this product's published specifications.

What to check first
  • Fingerprints show constantly on the all-black surface
  • Clock and timer share one button, which reviewers found confusing
  • No one-touch express minute button
  • One reviewer's unit failed within a month
