Panasonic - 1200 Watt Stainless Steel Microwave Review
Jack Cameron
Product Description
With its sleek, stainless-steel door and base and stainless silver body, the powerful Panasonic Microwave Oven NN-SN686S Countertop/Built-In with Inverter Technology and Genius Sensor makes a stylish and convenient addition to any home, apartment or condo kitchen. This exceptional 1200-Watt, 1.2-cubic-foot capacity stainless steel microwave with 13.4-inch turntable evenly heats and cooks breakfast foods, after-school snacks, dinners, appetizers and more, making it ideal for singles, busy professionals and on-the-go families. This innovative microwave oven includes patented Inverter Technology which, unlike traditional microwaves that rely on pulse-on, pulse-off power at lower temperatures, delivers a constant stream of cooking power at every temperature for more evenly cooked meals - edges to centers - every time. With the touch of the Genius Sensor cooking button, this microwave takes the guesswork out of creating a great meal by automatically setting power levels and adjusting cooking or defrosting time for added time-saving convenience. The sensor measures the amount of steam produced during cooking and signals the microprocessor to calculate the remaining cooking time at the appropriate power level. A selection of 14 auto cook options enable you to quickly prepare your favorite foods, such as pizza, popcorn, pasta, soup, oatmeal and other dishes. This Panasonic microwave oven externally measures 12-1/4-inch x 20-11/16-inch x 15-13/16-inch (H x W x D).

FYI - -it is made in china and the inverter uses chinese specific IGBT parts. That is what failed on mine. I ordered new ones, but took 2 weeks to arrive. As a DIYer, repair will be an experiment and is known to have deadly voltage potential. I expect repair success to be low since I lack $6K of test instruments, but it should be some fun.
Things I like:
It looks really nice, very sleek and modern
It heats well and quickly
It has a "Quick 30" button and I find myself using that the most
I has a Popcorn button
it is lighter than my old one and takes up a little less space, but is just as powerful
Things I don't like
No beverage button (though the new model has one. 3 presses of the Quick 30 takes care of that
The light doesn't seem as strong as my old microwave, but it might be an illusion. If I turn off the kitchen light it seems just as strong and I think what is happening is that the kitchen light bounces off the shiny door and reflects back at you so it is harder to see inside
No button for common uses like Frozen Vegetables. I have to press the Sensor Cook 10 times for frozen vegetables. I got an index card and wrote down the number of times I must press Sensor Cook for the items I most often use. Now that I have gotten used to it it really isn't a big deal, just annoying at first.
The cord sticks out from the back of the microwave, the plug sticks out from the outlet and the cord is not flexible as most aren't for this type of appliance so I have to have the machine pulled out a good five inches from the wall so the cord doesn't rest against the microwave. I am not sure if it is okay for it to touch or not. Unfortunately my outlet is directly behind the machine. This might not be a problem if you have your outlet in a different place.
It is noisy, but no noisier than my old one, and maybe just a bit less
The reason I gave it four stars is that it does its most important job well--heating food. So far everything has come out just the way I want it. And the longer I use it the easier it is to use.
Because of shelf size we needed a smaller external size but wanted the power to speed through the cooking and reheating we use the unit for. This Panasonic fits our needs. The power is actually higher than our older unit. The power cord should be long enough for most placements.
We were concerned that the interior might be too small but the LxWxH ratio of the interior of this unit is such we have had no difficulties with medium sized dishes or bowls. However, if you use larger size dishes or bowls you should review the interior dimensions to insure it is large enough for your needs.
This unit is slightly noisier than some we have used but certainly not objectionable - just something we noticed at first use then became quickly accustomed to. The door closes quietly but with a click so you know it is latched shut. The control panel is mostly intuitive but a few features do require a reading of the manual.
Internal cleaning is easy - the same as with most microwaves. Just wipe it out with a damp cloth and let dry. The external metal finish cleans easily also. You will notice fingerprint streaks as with any stainless steel surface but they are easily wiped away.
The reheat feature is nice and aids in not burning foods or overcooking them while reheating. Again, this microwave is strong and will heat items quickly when on high power.
All-in-all we are very satisfied. Lots of power, easy to use and clean, nice mid-size for countertop or open shelf mount. Has enough features to be helpful but not "techie".
If this size fits your needs we recommend it as a strong candidate.
