More from this brandAll Panasonic countertop microwave ovensOverview
A busy family kitchen is the target for this big stainless Panasonic, which pairs inverter power with a steam-reading Genius Sensor. A wide turntable, a child safety lock and many auto programs cover everyday reheating and cooking.
Interior space for large plates and platters is the reason to consider it, backed by steady inverter power and sensor cooking. The limitation is bulk, because the cabinet is deep and wide, and one listed frequency figure reads like an error.
Who it's for
Households cooking for several people, or those who use large dishes, benefit from the wide turntable and many programs. Small kitchens, dorms and singles who reheat a mug of coffee are better off with a compact unit.
Pros and cons
- Very large interior
- Wide turntable fits big dishes
- Inverter and Genius Sensor cooking
- Many auto and power level options
- Large and heavy for most counters
- Frequency entry looks wrong
- Built-in trim kit not listed
Performance notes
The Genius Sensor reads steam from the food and sets remaining time and power, so results depend on loading food that gives off steam normally. Inverter control delivers constant power rather than pulses, which cooks the edges and centers more evenly, and a larger cavity gives the turntable room to rotate big dishes.

Frequently asked questions
Can the Panasonic NN-SN966S be built in?
The title says countertop or built-in, but the installation type reads countertop and no trim kit is listed. The box lists the microwave only.
Does the Panasonic NN-SN966S have a keep warm setting?
Yes. Keep warm appears in the cooking programs along with auto cook, defrost, power levels and reheat.
Is the Panasonic NN-SN966S frequency really 200 Hz?
That entry looks like an error, because microwave ovens operate at gigahertz-range frequencies. The listing gives nothing more, so ask the maker.
