This microwave worked wonderfully - for 360 days. I didn't get any dreaded codes, it would just stop working after 3 seconds. SO - I took it to Panasonic's warranty reps here in Syracuse - United Radio. After 3 weeks, two reps from Panasonic saying they would fix it and then being accused of "damaging and abusing" the unit by United Radio, I'm stuck with a unit that won't work. No - I didn't abuse or damage it - I USED the stinking thing. The last microwave I had was a SHARP and it lasted for 10+ years. I didn't use the Panasonic unit any differently than I did the SHARP. I have since been told to take it to another rep. We'll see what happens next.
I will tell everyone about my horrible experience with Panasonic and United Radio and won't EVER buy another Panasonic thing again.
What's great about it: Worked great while it lasted
What's not so great: Lasted less than a year - and Panasonic wouldn't fix it!
