3) Panasonic’s NN-SD945S microwave: Up next we have the best built-in microwave which goes to the Panasonic’s NN-SD945S microwave. With 1250 watts, this Panasonic is the most powerful microwave on this list, and it’s among the more powerful microwaves on the market.

Panasonic’s patented Inverter technology allows you to steam, braise, and poach, but it also performs more traditional microwave functions. That is to say yes, of course, it will still pop your corn. Its 18 preset options enable you to thoughtlessly cook everything from oatmeal to pasta, and many things in between with the simple touch of a button.

Regardless of the size you require, the Panasonic NN-SD945S has more space on the inside than most microwaves, thanks to the inverter, which kicks out more power than a machine of this size usually would. Its 15-inch turntable tray will accommodate large plates, too. And, if you want to deck out your microwave in fancy trim, Panasonic offers kits on Amazon.

Around the web, Techilicious called the Panasonic NN-SD945S the best microwave around, and The Strategist and Best Products loved it for its remarkably even cooking, which is thanks to Panasonic’s patented inverter technology and 18 auto-cook presets. Almost 300 Amazon reviewers gave the NN-SD945S 4.2/5 stars, mostly citing its even cooking. “At last one that cooks perfectly,” reads the title of one review. Complaints are largely related to the door latch or hinges failing, but those are common problems associated with the demise of many microwaves. Get it HERE…
