The microwave is available in the color black, white, or even stainless steel, giving you a little bit of flexibility in terms of the color of the microwave that you can go for. As you’re about to find out, the countertop microwave oven has also got the kind of features that you’d expect to get from the best Panasonic microwave, and if you’re a student that’s big on preparing meals that are as simple as possible to put together, then the NN-SN65KW also qualifies as one of the best microwaves for college dorms.

Power & Performance

With 1200 watts of cooking power in store, the black, white or silver color stainless steel Panasonic NN-SN65KW microwave promises to reduce your cooking time by almost half as much as the COMFEE’ EM720CPL-PMB Countertop Microwave Oven, which has a decent power output of 700 watts. The Panasonic compact microwave oven also features inverter technology, which makes cooking a lot more efficient since it is able to generate a seamless stream of cooking power. This is key because the microwave is then able to cook your food a lot more evenly, and is also more energy efficient compared to other microwaves.

Durability

Thanks to its solid build quality, you can expect to use the Panasonic stainless steel microwave for a very long time before it starts giving you problems. It comes with a 1 year warranty that holds up against problems throughout the first year of use, and with a capacity of 1.2 Cubic feet, it accommodates a 13.4 inch glass turntable that you can also take out to clean.

Ease of Use

The variety of features on this stainless steel silver, 1,2 cu ft countertop microwave make it perfect for easy microwave cooking. The Panasonic microwave features genius sensor cooking technology, which allows it to detect the amount of humidity in certain foods, and automatically adjust the power & time required to get it ready. This makes cooking with it very efficient, and with up to 11 power levels to choose from, you’ll also be able to accurately decide the power level that you need to set your microwave to for the most accurate results.

Added Features & Versatility

The NN SN67KS microwave shares its use of Inverter turbo defrost technology with the Panasonic NN-SN97JS microwave, and this allows you to speed up how fast your frozen foods get defrosted. The microwave also features up to 10 sensor reheat settings, as well as an instant popcorn button that offers three power levels to choose from for different popcorn bag capacities. The Daewoo microwave comes with one touch buttons surrounding its green lit LCD display that help you to get your food ready and set within minutes

Value

You’ll be able to choose from up to 15 one touch auto cook settings on this microwave, and even though this doesn’t match up to the 19 preset auto cook menus that you’ll get with the NN-SD945S panasonic countertop microwave, it’s still enough to help you avoid spending too much time in the kitchen whenever you don’t want to.

Panasonic Compact Microwave Oven Wrap Up

Most microwave ovens that feature inverter cooking technology tend to be quite expensive, but with the Panasonic NN-SN65KW microwave retailing at close to $179, you’ll have a pocket friendly option that’s also bundled with a turbo defrost setting, sensor cooking popcorn button and a quick 30 seconds button for when you want to warm up your meals quickly.
