Our take on the 1.6 cu.ft. Countertop Cyclonic Wave Inverter Microwave Oven, 1250W - NN-SD78LS

The Panasonic NN-SD78LS is a 1.6 cu. ft. countertop microwave rated at 1250 watts. It uses Panasonic's Inverter technology to hold a steady power level instead of pulsing on and off, and Cyclonic Wave to circulate heat more evenly. That makes it a strong pick for people who defrost and reheat often and want fewer cold spots than a typical budget microwave gives. It is larger and heavier than compact 0.9 to 1.2 cu. ft. models, so it needs real counter depth.

  • 1.6 cu. ft. fits large plates and casserole dishes
  • Cyclonic Wave aims for even heating from edge to center
  • Simple keypad with sensor-style auto cooking programs
Cons

Questions and answers

Is the inverter better than a regular microwave?
Yes for defrosting and low-power cooking. Inverter models hold a steady power level instead of switching the magnetron on and off, which gives gentler, more even results.
Does it fit a standard plate?
Yes. At 1.6 cu. ft. it takes large dinner plates and most casserole dishes, though check the 22-inch width and 19-inch depth against your counter.
Does it need special installation?
No. It is a countertop unit that plugs into a standard outlet. It weighs 31.5 lbs, so plan where it will sit before lifting it.
Does it have convection or grilling?
No. It is a microwave only, with inverter power and Cyclonic Wave heating, not a convection or grill combi.
How does it compare with smaller Panasonic models?
It offers more capacity and higher wattage than compact Panasonic inverter models, at the cost of a bigger footprint and more weight.
