If you use your countertop microwave only to zap cold coffee or nuke bags of buttered popcorn, any model will do. But nearly any other food prep — defrosting the latest frozen flavors from Trader Joe’s, reheating leftovers, making crispy bacon — benefits from a better machine.
Most microwaves are made by the same two or three factories and tend to look, feel, and function similarly, and are sold at comparable prices. But the Panasonic Genius Sensor Inverter NN-SN686S and its iterations are an exception, as they can zap, nuke, defrost, reheat, and steam more evenly and efficiently than competitors. The NN-SN686S also comes with more thoughtful features and functionality, and it looks and feels a little nicer than the rest.
