Our take
Panasonic NN-SE985S is a 2.2-cu.-ft., 1,250-W inverter model with Sensor Cook/Reheat and optional separate 27-/30-inch trim kits. Tray diameter and commercial duty are unknown; the historical Amazon ASIN did not load.
Consider NN-SE985S if you need a large inverter countertop model with sensor cooking and want a documented optional cabinet kit. Verify whether you will use a counter or a 27-/30-inch opening, obtain the exact separate kit, and measure cookware against the actual tray. Confirm the electrical supply and offer suffix before ordering..
For a countertop-only compact choice, compare a smaller exact model. If built-in installation matters, verify Panasonic's correct 27- or 30-inch kit and opening dimensions rather than assuming the kit is included.
Pros & cons
What could work for you, and what to consider before buying.
What works in its favor
- NN-SE985S combines a 2.2-cu.-ft. cavity, 1,250-W output and Cyclonic Wave inverter technology.
- The exact manual documents Sensor Cook and Sensor Reheat with ten power levels and Turbo Defrost.
- Separate 27-inch and 30-inch trim-kit options are documented for this countertop-capable model.
What to weigh up
- The optional trim kit is separate, and its inclusion in the historical Amazon offer is unknown.
- The reviewed sources give no numeric turntable diameter or commercial-duty classification.
- The historical ASIN page returned an error, so current exact-offer identity is not asserted.

What the features mean for you
Keep NN-SE985S separate from similar Panasonic models
Panasonic lists NN-SE985S as an exact 2.2-cu.-ft. countertop model, distinct from NN-SN96JS. The models share broad capacity and output figures, but Panasonic maintains separate product pages, support records and operating manuals with different codes and controls. A related mention of NN-SE985S in another historical row is not used as a second model identity here. Confirm the full code on the item and any trim-kit package. The source row's historical Amazon ASIN B010RWZ7IU returned an internal error, so the tagged search is the appropriate destination. Similarity within the Cyclonic Wave family is not evidence that accessories or bundle contents can be transferred between models.
Compare the 2.2-cu.-ft. cavity and 1,250-W output
Panasonic lists a 2.2-cu.-ft. cavity and 1,250 W of cooking power for NN-SE985S, with Cyclonic Wave inverter technology. The exact manual also specifies a 120-V/60-Hz electrical supply. Use the 1,250-W figure as microwave output and check the electrical requirement separately. The size rating helps compare large ovens but cannot tell you whether a tall casserole or wide platter will fit the opening. Measure your cookware and account for the turntable and cavity shape. The product page gives external dimensions, and the manual should guide clearance. The profile leaves turntableDiameterIn unknown because the reviewed sources did not establish a numeric tray measurement for this exact model.
Sensor Cook and Reheat are named manual functions
The product page lists Genius Sensor, and the NN-SE985S manual has separate operating sections for Sensor Reheat and Sensor Cook. It also lists ten microwave power levels, Turbo Defrost and Keep Warm. That source evidence supports sensorCooking=true for this exact model, not because it shares the Panasonic brand or an inverter label. Follow the relevant program instructions and cookware guidance; the documented modes are not guarantees about every food or quantity. Separate the sensor functions from fixed menu settings when comparing models. If you depend on an automatic cycle for a particular use, review the exact manual section before selecting that program.
Choose the exact trim kit for a built-in opening
Panasonic's support page and model-specific manual document two optional kit codes: NN-TK922S for a 27-in. opening and NN-TK932S for a 30-in. opening. This is specific installation evidence for NN-SE985S. The microwave also supports countertop placement, so the kit is unnecessary for a counter. The accessory is separate, and the historical Amazon listing does not prove that it is included. Measure the cabinet opening and follow the kit's required clearances before planning installation. Do not substitute a related Panasonic kit based on the 2.2-cu.-ft. family size; use the exact code and dimensions printed in this model's manual.
Check cookware fit and commercial requirements separately
Although the exact sources list the microwave's dimensions and turntable system, the reviewed material does not give a numeric tray diameter. Measure the physical turntable and the pan you expect to rotate. The documents also do not establish an exact commercial-duty class. Panasonic's consumer model page and optional trim kits do not prove that the unit is appropriate for a restaurant's operating schedule. If it will be used in a shared kitchen, obtain written duty and warranty guidance. The profile keeps both the tray size and commercialDuty unknown so an answer path cannot score it as meeting an undocumented threshold.
Verify the Amazon destination and package
Amazon ASIN B010RWZ7IU returned an internal error during this review, so it is not treated as a current exact offer. The tagged search names NN-SE985S; check that the active listing uses the same code and determine whether it includes the separate trim kit, a turntable and the intended finish. This review draws on Panasonic's exact product page, support record and manual rather than personal use. It makes no claims about current price, stock, buyer sentiment or measured cooking performance. The model's documented sensor and kit options create real differences; the unverified bundle contents and turntable size remain explicit limitations.
What else to compare
Before you buy
What capacity and output does NN-SE985S have?
Panasonic lists 2.2 cu. ft. and 1,250 W cooking power for the exact model.
Does it have sensor cooking?
Yes. The product page lists Genius Sensor, and the model-specific manual describes Sensor Cook and Sensor Reheat.
Which trim kits are supported?
The manual names separate NN-TK922S 27-inch and NN-TK932S 30-inch kits. Confirm the opening and package contents before installation.
What is the tray diameter?
The reviewed exact sources do not give a numeric diameter; measure the actual turntable and cookware clearance.
Can it be used commercially?
The reviewed exact product page and manual do not assign a commercial-duty class, so suitability for foodservice use is unconfirmed.
Is ASIN B010RWZ7IU a verified current offer?
No. Its historical Amazon page returned an internal error, so use the tagged NN-SE985S exact-model search and confirm the kit contents.
Where can I check the current price?
Use the Amazon link for current offers. Check the exact model, seller, product condition, delivery, and return terms. This page does not display a live price or confirm stock.
