A 1.2 cu. ft. countertop microwave with 1200 watts and Panasonic's inverter power, which delivers steady low-level heat instead of cycling on and off. The Genius Sensor button sets time and power from steam, and Turbo Defrost speeds thawing. It suits cooks who poach, braise, steam or gently reheat delicate food and want a mid-size unit with a turntable. Rivals at this size often cost less but use conventional power that pulses at low settings; owners like the even heating but some report short-lived units and a loud beep.

Owners praise even heating and the sensor and defrost modes, and many call it the best microwave they have owned. A notable share report units dying early or arriving damaged, which pulls the average down.
The Panasonic 1.2 cu. ft. 1200-watt Genius Sensor microwave oven with Inverter Technology is perfect for the countertop. Unlike other microwave ovens, Inverter technology delivers a seamless stream of cooking power, even at lower settings, for precision cooking that preserves the flavor and texture of your favorite foods. With Inverter, you can poach, braise and even steam more delicate foods, all with the speed and convenience of a microwave! With the touch of our Genius Sensor cooking button, this microwave takes guesswork out of creating a great meal by automatically setting power levels and adjusting cooking or defrosting time. 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. Plus with Turbo Defrost, you can thaw foods faster than ever!
