Ft. Countertop/Built-in Microwave with Inverter Technology, please visit:    Died after two months / poor warranty service from Panasonic While I liked the idea of the "Inverter Technology" that lets you easily cook at lower power without duty cycling the microwave, that feature doesn't outweigh Panasonic's poor warranty policies. My microwave died after two months of use - everything was working fine one moment and then the lights went out, dead as a doorstop. (Being an electrical engineer, I think it's a safe assumption that the power supply is what died but that's only an assumption) Had this died within the 30 day period, Amazon would have printed out a shipping label, had UPS show up at my front door to pick up the defective unit and most likely cross-shipped a new microwave out to me so I could have a replacement in just a matter of days. Instead, since it was outside the 30 day period, I had to go through Panasonic's warranty service. Their only option is to have me hand-deliver the defective product to an authorized Service Center; the nearest one is a 90 minute drive from here. That would be... | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Countertop/Built-in Microwave with Inverter Technology: Panasonic   Stainless-steel 1.2-cubic-foot microwave oven with Inverter technology and blue read-out display. view larger Panasonic NN-SD681S Stainless-Steel 1.2-Cubic-Foot 1200-Watt Inverter Microwave OvenThe Genius Prestige Countertop/Built-In Microwave OvenWith its stainless-steel door and silver wrap, this 1200-watt microwave oven by Panasonic makes a stylish and convenient addition to any contemporary kitchen. The 1.2-cubic-foot unit with its 13-1/2-inch turntable excellently cooks and evenly heats anything from breakfast foods and after-school snacks to dinnertime meals and appetizers when entertaining. Ideal for busy professionals and on-the-go families, the microwave oven provides quick and easy meal preparation while nicely accommodating and enhancing surrounding decor.  The countertop microwave can be installed in the wall using an optional matching trim kit. (Trim kit shown may not represent actual trim kit.)  Make shrimp pasta and other delicious dishes. Inverter TechnologyMoving Beyond Just "Heating Things Up"Many people just use their microwaves for making popcorn or warming up soup because most microwaves just have one temperature setting--high. Conventional microwave ovens might have a low-power setting, but this is achieved by "pulsing" the high-power setting on and off rather than by emitting a steady stream of low-powered energy. Panasonic's trailblazing Inverter technology delivers true, variable microwave power, which means even temperatures and consistent textures throughout the food being cooked. The consistent delivery of microwave energy allows delicate foods to simmer without the edges and surfaces overcooking, so foods have the look and taste you expect--without the wait. The Inverter microwave oven perfects the art of cooking, taking microwave cooking to a whole new level. You'll experience delicious food that better retains its color, nutrients, and flavor and that's easier and faster to prepare. Oh, and you can still make great popcorn. Single, Compact Power SupplyFurthermore, the Inverter power unit is smaller and lighter than conventional microwave circuitry (aka the heavy, enclosed side of the microwave), which allows for more interior space to fit that favorite casserole dish, without increasing the oven's overall exterior dimensions. Weighing just 25-1/2 pounds, the oven's roomy interior measures 14-3/8 inches long by 13-15/16 inches wide by 9-15/16 inches high, while its compact exterior measures 15-13/16 inches long by 20-11/16 inches wide by 12-1/4 inches high. Additional FeaturesGenius MicrowaveWith the touch of Panasonic's Sensor Cooking button, the microwave takes the 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 automatically. Inverter Turbo DefrostPanasonic evolved the Turbo Defrost feature, which allows you to defrost foods even faster than previous Panasonic Auto Defrost. Panasonic Inverter Turbo Defrost technology is an advanced microwave sequencing system using the inverter continuous-power delivery method. Inverter Melt-Soften ButtonThis feature allows you to melt or soften a variety of foods such as butter, cream cheese, ice cream, and chocolate. One-Touch Sensor Cook and ReheatThe Sensor adjusts power levels and calculates cooking and reheating times--automatically--for various food types like omelets, pasta, frozen entrees, potatoes, vegetables, beverages, and more. Pop-Out DialWith a spin of the dial, the easy-to-use pop-out dial is a departure from the standard keypad found on most microwave ovens. Keep Warm FeatureA pulsing delivery of very low microwave power keeps food temperatures at a constant level--without overcooking. So, foods like stew, gravy, and desserts remain warm in the oven for up to 30 minutes after cooking. Blue LED Display4-digit neon blue LED display provides a high-end look that complements any kitchen decor. Clock/TimerTime-of-day clock and timer provide exceptional convenience. Push-Button Door Release and Stainless Steel FrontElegant, attractive, and easy-to-open, the microwave will look its best even when preparing some of the messiest recipes. Child-Safety LockFor safety, the child lock prevents electronic operation (door still opens). Press Start three times to lock (a key symbol will be displayed); press Stop/Reset three times to cancel. Trim Kit (optional)The Prestige countertop microwave can be installed in the wall using an optional matching trim kit accessory (27-inch model NN-TK621SS).  User-friendly control panel with blue read-out digital display. Please Note: upper-left corner of the door has a small indentation to allow the door to open smoothly.

Panasonic 1.2-Cubic-Foot Inverter Microwave Ovens
Takin' one for the team - - - quick first review - EDITED I've only had this 2 days, but I thought I'd get a quick review up on it. This oven is so new, even Panasonic didn't know about it. I called them up, and their customer service knew nothing. A search on the Panasonic website came back blank. So, what the heck, I bought it. It appeared to be very similar to the SD688 models, with one exception. The digital display got panned on the 688 as being hard to read from a normal standing angle. I guessed that this fancy blue display was their answer to that, and I was right! The bright blue display is very easy to read up close without bending over., and from an angle. I rarely cook in a microwave, so all of the fancy button options are moot. "Inverter Melt", "Popcorn" "Inverter Turbo Defrost". If I have to keep the manual handy to use my microwave, I'm not likely to use that feature. I did try the "Sensor Reheat" feature on some boneless chicken. It stopped it at the right time. I like the dial feature, it's very... | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Stopped working after 3 years. Do not recommend this microwave. Update (January 2015) Microwave is now dead. After 3 years of moderate use the microwave began acting erratically. The microwave would stop running after 3 seconds or only run on 'Popcorn' mode, etc... for about one week before it finally quit running entirely. I've knocked my rating from 5 stars down to 2 stars. I expected more than 3 years of use from a microwave that was hardly ever tasked with anything more challenging that reheating food on occasion. It was a very nice microwave while it lasted which is why I'll leave the review with 2 stars (maybe I was unlucky), but I can no longer recommend this unit. I'm leaving the original review and yearly updates in their entirety below for the sake of information and posterity. However, I do NOT recommend this microwave... | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
