    • Works very well
Style: NN-SN686S
This is my second version of this after my older model broke after I did something stupid. I won't go into details but it ended with a fire inside. This newer model looks good and heats well. No issues whatsoever. I like that you push a button to open the door instead of just pull on the door. A great microwave. ... show more

    • Strong Power, Nice Size, Good Features
Style: NN-SN686S
We purchased this to replace a 14 year old much larger capacity microwave. We have used the unit about a month. Because of shelf size we needed a smaller external size but wanted the power to speed through the cooking and reheating we use the unit for. This Panasonic fits our needs. The power is actually higher than our older unit. The power cord should be long enough for most placements. We were concerned that the interior might be too small but the LxWxH ratio of the interior of this unit is such we have had no difficulties with medium sized dishes or bowls. However, if you use larger size dishes or bowls you should review the interior dimensions to insure it is large enough for your needs. This unit is slightly noisier than some we have used but certainly not objectionable - just something we noticed at first use then became quickly accustomed to. The door closes quietly but with a click so you know it is latched shut. The control panel is mostly intuitive but a few features do require a reading of the manual. Internal cleaning is easy - the same as with most microwaves. Just wipe it out with a damp cloth and let dry. The external metal finish cleans easily also. You will notice fingerprint streaks as with any stainless steel surface but they are easily wiped away. The reheat feature is nice and aids in not burning foods or overcooking them while reheating. Again, this microwave is strong and will heat items quickly when on high power. All-in-all we are very satisfied. Lots of power, easy to use and clean, nice mid-size for countertop or open shelf mount. Has enough features to be helpful but not "techie". If this size fits your needs we recommend it as a strong candidate. ... show more

    • Works well
Style: NN-SN686S
Initially I was annoyed with some of the user interface features, but I reminded myself that my old Sharp microwave lasted for 14 years and so I was very used to the way it worked and didn't really have to think about it. The longer I have used this Panasonic model the easier it has become to use. Plus, I could have gotten the new model for not much more and that appears to have an easier user face. Things I like: It looks really nice, very sleek and modern It heats well and quickly It has a "Quick 30" button and I find myself using that the most I has a Popcorn button it is lighter than my old one and takes up a little less space, but is just as powerful Things I don't like No beverage button (though the new model has one. 3 presses of the Quick 30 takes care of that The light doesn't seem as strong as my old microwave, but it might be an illusion. If I turn off the kitchen light it seems just as strong and I think what is happening is that the kitchen light bounces off the shiny door and reflects back at you so it is harder to see inside No button for common uses like Frozen Vegetables. I have to press the Sensor Cook 10 times for frozen vegetables. I got an index card and wrote down the number of times I must press Sensor Cook for the items I most often use. Now that I have gotten used to it it really isn't a big deal, just annoying at first. The cord sticks out from the back of the microwave, the plug sticks out from the outlet and the cord is not flexible as most aren't for this type of appliance so I have to have the machine pulled out a good five inches from the wall so the cord doesn't rest against the microwave. I am not sure if it is okay for it to touch or not. Unfortunately my outlet is directly behind the machine. This might not be a problem if you have your outlet in a different place. It is noisy, but no noisier than my old one, and maybe just a bit less The reason I gave it four stars is that it does its most important job well--heating food. So far everything has come out just the way I want it. And the longer I use it the easier it is to use. ... show more

    • Powerful, easy to use - quality company - good value - Recommend
Style: NN-SN686S
This replaced the exact model that failed after 7 yrs. Inverters don't live as long as transformer units but are lighter and have better features. We use ours dozens of times per day and while disappointed it did not last longer - it is a wonderful product and value priced. The buttons and door latch are easy to push/activate. A real pleasure to operate. FYI - -it is made in china and the inverter uses chinese specific IGBT parts. That is what failed on mine. I ordered new ones, but took 2 weeks to arrive. As a DIYer, repair will be an experiment and is known to have deadly voltage potential. I expect repair success to be low since I lack $6K of test instruments, but it should be some fun. ... show more
