Comment: I've owned several microwaves in my life but this is the first one that broke in less than a year. Makes me miss my $40 GE microwave.

Summary: Broke in 8 months and poor service 2009-11-21
Comment: Not only did this microwave fail after only 8 months, but the closest service center is over an hour away (and we don't live in that small of a city). It's still under warranty, but we'd have to drive to the center to drop it off, then drive back a week later to get it. We're going to just buy a new microwave, and this time I'm making sure there is a service center nearby. Both LG and Frigidaire have 2 service centers each in the city we live in. This was a huge waste of money.

Summary: Piece of work 2009-09-30
Comment: Pros:
It cooks as advertised.
Cons:
1) Push buttons cannot be read when unit is placed on a white or lite colored counter top.
2) Unit has no rubber feet therefore it slides like it is on ice and will easily wind up on your floor when any button is pushed hard enough to activate it.
3) Cavity light goes off when door is opened to check food being cooked.

Comment: I bought this product to replace a 35-year old Amana Radar range, after researching extensively online. It worked great until yesterday morning when it just died. No warning. No electronic messages. It just went totally blank. I called Panasonic customer service. They were nice enough...But directing me to a local service center was all they help they could offer. "Out of Warranty. Repair at your own expense." It was very telling that they also said "If you choose to replace rather than repair your product, we will give you 15% off your purchase and free shipping if ordered directly from Panasonic." ....Fat chance of that happening! I went out this morning and bought a new microwave...NOT a Panasonic.
