Microwave Oven Reviews 2012

Ranked #643 in Home & Garden, #9,045 overall

How did we ever cook without the microwave? Microwaves do the job in a fraction of the time, and have the added benefit of not heating up the house during the summer when it's hot enough already!

Microwaves can be grouped into two categories: the bigger 1200 Watt microwave ovens, and the smaller 800 Watt ovens that don't have as much power but also don't put as much strain on your wallet. Read on to discover the best-selling microwave ovens of 2012 in each of the two categories. These are truly the best microwave ovens of 2012.

Panasonic Prestige NN-SD997S

This microwave has a 2.2 cubic foot capacity and 1250 Watts of power, and is made of stainless steel. This microwave is well designed, inside and out. Its huge capacity is great for cooking large amounts of food, and its turntable is sturdy and turns smoothly. Even a heavy dish can't disrupt this turntable from performing its job properly.

Panasonic has new microwave technology in use in this microwave oven. The inverter makes sure that your food cooks evenly throughout, so you don't have to worry about biting into those unpleasant cold and uncooked spots! There is also a sensor that prevents food from being overcooked by detecting the steam coming off of the dish.

The outside of the Panasonic Prestige NN-SD997S is just as functional and sturdy as the inside. They've even gone so far as to coat the button interface with a fingerprint resistant coating to keep your microwave looking brand new. Despite many features, the button panel is simple and easy to use. This entire product, inside and out, is made of sturdy materials that are easy to keep clean.

Panasonic NN-H765WF

Panasonic has their act together when it comes to microwaves. The NN-H765WF is smaller than the NN-SD997S at only 1.6 cubic feet, but you can still do a lot of cooking with that amount of space. This Panasonic is carefully and durably constructed, but costs a lot less due to the absence of stainless steel.

Like the NN-SD997S, the NN-H765WF has an intuitive, uncluttered front panel and a classic look that fits in with the decor of almost any kitchen. This microwave features some truly interesting technology, like its sound-dampening technology which reduces that annoying microwave hum to something you'll barely hear in the background. The inverter is very sensitive, allowing you to use a low power setting to defrost accurately without cooking - something most microwaves have trouble with. This technology also helps you avoid over-cooking food. All around, this is a great microwave with plenty of space and features, and it's available for a lot less than the Prestige at $180.
