The Panasonic NN-SN686SR is a 1.2 cu. ft. countertop microwave with 1200 watts of power and Panasonic's inverter technology, which delivers steady power at low settings instead of cycling on and off. A Genius Sensor button sets power and time from the steam given off by the food, and Turbo Defrost speeds thawing. It can sit on a counter or be built in with a trim kit. Owners rate it well for even heating and simple sensor cooking; the trade-offs are a bulky body, a plain keypad and no convection or air-fry modes that some rivals add.

The Panasonic NN-SN686SR is a 1.2 cu. ft., 1200-watt microwave oven with Inverter Technology and a Genius Sensor. It can sit on a countertop or be installed as a built-in.
Inverter Technology delivers a steady stream of cooking power, even at lower settings. This allows precise cooking that preserves the flavor and texture of foods. It can be used to poach, braise and steam more delicate foods.
The Genius Sensor button sets power levels and adjusts cooking or defrosting time automatically. The sensor measures the steam produced during cooking and signals the microprocessor, which calculates the remaining cooking time at the right power level. Turbo Defrost thaws foods faster.
