## Overview

The Panasonic NN-SN686S is a powerful 1200W stainless steel microwave with 1.2 cubic feet capacity, featuring patented inverter technology for consistent cooking and a Genius Sensor that automatically adjusts settings for perfect meals. Its turbo defrost accelerates thawing, while a sleek design fits both countertop and built-in kitchens. Ideal for busy professionals seeking efficiency, style, and foolproof cooking.

## 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).

Review: Awesome Read This If You Need Help - I just got the Panasonic Genius Microwave NN-SN68KS without all the numeric buttons and you don't need them once you read the manual. This is a 1200 watt microwave with 12.4 amps so you have to have common sense and give it its own dedicated power outlet. I have mine running smooth with a common house lamp on the circuit and it's doing great. If you have an old outlet be sure to ground it with a grounding screw and grounding wire with the adapter to put it in the wall. A standard 13 amp extension cord will work if you have to use an outlet in the next room like I did. If you try and run this on the same outlet as the refrigerator you're pushing 19.5 amps and could have some issues. Same goes for a toaster oven which would be 21.4 amps which is a big no no for most common house outlets running at 15 amps max. I saw some guys review on here and he didn't know much about electricity and was having breaker issues but just needed to use the next nearest power outlet to resolve his issue. This needs it's own power outlet with maybe a common one bulb lamp hooked at the max. The food cooks awesome. It is genius!!! I love how you just have to press 2 buttons and listen for beeps to cook the food and it does everything for you. Learning to use this only takes about 10-15 minutes reading the manual. The notes are on the inside of the microwave when you open the door so you don't have to memorize 16 codes. If you properly read the manual and use common sense you will love this microwave. It is so freaking amazing and my food cooks perfect with the Genius sensor. Tips: If you go manual be sure to adjust the power settings. If it doesn't come out all the way cooked use the Reheat button and let the sensor cook your food the rest of the way for you. Works for me. Listen for the beeps and check the food if the Genius hasn't stopped cooking it yet and your Frozen Food Entree is still in there and it smells good; check it if the Genius sensor tells you there is 5:30 remaining. I checked mine and the food was done and I stopped it early. If you let it go without common sense after beeps you might overcook your food. So far we haven't overcooked anything and everything is all smiles and perfect. For some people it might seem a little overwhelming at first but if you read the manual and forums you understand the idea of how the sensor needs to detect steam and work and how it needs some of your attention sometimes when it's cooking and everything comes out great. I literally have chills and goosebumps by how amazing this microwave works and how simple it actually is to use. Never microwave anything frozen on full power or you can break the magnetron. It needs you to either lower the power or turbo defrost or use the frozen food button. I think some people didn't read the manual and freaked out. You don't need all the numerical buttons with this microwave because it is high powered with an inverter and cooks fast and evenly. That's why there are only 3 sets of numerical buttons in logical increments if you decide to cook it the old way manually without the Genius sensor. Anyone who complained is just behind the simple learning curve of a 15 minute manual read. In reward you get a microwave oven that cooks everything for you after you hit 2 buttons and don't have to guess the times. F-ing awesome. I love it. So far so good.
Review: Best Microwave on the Market - The best part about this brand of microwave is that it works - no hassle. My first Panasonic Inverter lasted 15 years. Replaced it b/c I wanted a smaller one. Gave it away to a coworker who says it’s still working 5 years later. Still looks new. So, instead doing the smart thing + buying another one, I bought a Toshiba based on the over 15k reviews. First one came dented. Sent back. Reordered and hated it. Cheaply made, door was noisy to open + close and within a year had to throw it in a dumpster. The back blistered and the inside was stained (could never get any food stain to go away). Idk if I just got a bad one or not, but this Panasonic is hands down a superior machine. Pros: minimalist look, no handle, easy to use, reheat option - did I mention it works??? My fridge + stove are black stainless, but my dishwasher is reg stainless, and the microwave sits right above it on the counter. I was thinking about replacing the dishwasher to match the rest, but the microwave kind of pulls it together, + the look is aesthetically pleasing now, so saved some $ there. Cons: in dim light, the operating panel is harder to see, and I still haven’t figured out how to permanently disable the child lock, but tbf, I haven’t spent any time reading the manual other than having to press 0 to open the door. I think that a child safety lock should be something you have to purposefully activate, not come already enabled. So, if you want a reliable, attractive, microwave that has an inverter and multiple cooking options, I cannot recommend Panasonic enough. The LG models are more expensive and aren’t nearly as attractive. I was tempted to buy the small Breville, but reviews were mixed. Btw…if it matters, Panasonic is one of the few microwave brands that isn’t made in China. That was a nice bonus for me. I’ve had this model a month with no issues. Some ppl didn’t like the dark gray interior, but I do. It’s different and makes it look more expensive than it is. Honestly, if I became a millionaire overnight, I’d still buy Panasonic microwaves. They’ve never let me down.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this unit have an inside light that comes on when you open the door or does the light only come on when cooking?**
A: Well, son of a gun! I just opened the door, instead of interpreting some printed material somewhere, and the light came on. Frankly, I've never seen a microwave oven that DIDN'T turn its light on when the door is opened. It's a necessity, and it would be kinda stupid not to.

**Q: can i see through the door ?**
A: When the interior light is on (when cooking),  yes.  When the light is off, the front has a mirror-like reflective surface.

**Q: Hi. what's the magnetorn warranty as provided the manufacturer as i could not find that in the warranty spec ? please let me know asap.**
A: 1 year all parts and labor 1 year except Magnetron Tube
Magnetron Tube is 1 year labor and 5 years parts
This is only in the U.S.A

I love mine and I have not had any problems.

**Q: Can i toast a bagel in this?**
A: NO!!!
