Panasonic NN-S262SF Over-the-Range Microwave, Stainless Steel

Roomy and versatile, this 1200-watt over-the-range microwave from Panasonic makes smart use of space and microwave technology. Its stand-out feature is the Inverter cooking system, an engineering break-through that delivers 10 truly distinct power levels. While many microwaves adjust power level by firing full force for a fraction of cooking time, then letting food idle while the clock winds down, Panasonic's Inverter models actually scale down power output for the full duration of cooking time. Food is cooked more evenly throughout, with better preservation of flavor and texture and minimal cold or hot spots. This model also includes Inverter Turbo defrost for quicker, more consistent results. In addition, the oven features Genius sensor cooking and reheating. This system automatically adjusts power levels and cooking times for up to 18 categories of foods, eliminating guesswork. Other must-have controls include keep-warm, popcorn, and quick-minute buttons. You can also choose to delay cooking start-time and customize settings. Measuring 1.9 cubic feet and handsomely finished in stainless steel, the oven comes with a powerful and quiet fan, removable grease filter and air vent, see-through window, 12-inch turntable, optional light, and multi-language control screen. The cavity is spacious and designed for easy cleaning with no uneven edges. Panasonic includes a one-year warranty. --Emily Bedard
