I used a Panasonic Genius NN-7808,bought for NZ$100,for about 12 years while the burned patch on the wall of the cooking compartment got steadily bigger.
When it finally died and I asked Panasonic NZ what was the equivalent model their manager told me that I would never again get a microwave so robust and long lived.
you think Panasonic sucks? GE takes the cake. I repair microwaves professionally, and 99% of the units I repair are GE's with blown magnetrons. STAY AWAY FROM GE.
@IHMAWTD Which brand would you recommend as being better than Panasonic or GE? What do you think of LG or Danby? I had a Panasonic which broke and now I am wondering which one will give me the most life.
two years old, my NNSD767B has gone tits up..... heard a loud snap, a loud hummmm and a amazing blast of bright light from behind the square panel....
I guess I should add that a month after this, the quartz heating tubes fractured, and spilt bit of broken glass and white powder over my food, which I didn't realise until after 2 meals of "crunchy bits"... Now using a standard microwave, and a seperate halogen oven, which is great and only cost 40 quid...
300 pounds: that's almost $600!! I'd be hard pressed to find a microwave that expensive; my crappy Panasonic cost about $160 and it has gone 5 years. The cheap enamel interior (not stainless like yours) is peeling and rusty; it tends to accumulate stinky water under the turntable and the "sensor" feature is utterly useless. But, it still works. How did things get so expensive over there?
@lrd9999 I don't get how people are having such an issue with the sensor. I fell in love with that feature alone because it actually worked with everything I've thrown at it.
@Shift4g Well, one of my main use scenarios (or usecase, for those who keep up with the latest cliches) for a microwave oven is to take a glass dish of leftovers from the refrigerator, add water or milk so it won't taste like dried leather, then simmer away most of the added liquid in the microwave. The old models with temperature probes could do this automatically and I was hoping the sensor feature would make this possible. No luck, it just shuts off as soon as it senses steam. Useless.
@Shift4g I'll have to admit that it works as described, at least if you follow their recipes. I don't, of course, since I never use microwave and recipe in the same sentence. My gripe is that all I want it to do is keep heating what I've put in it for a set time without it boiling over. Seems it would be simple to program a steam sensor to do just that, but Panasonic chose not to, so I have to move the dish from the microwave to the toaster-oven. Anyway, I'm glad someone can make use of it.
These will microwave themselves.

I now have a LG and we'll see how long it lasts.

This looks worryingly identical to the Panasonic microwave I not long spent £160 on... !!

Maybe you shouldn't touch the quartz heating lamp when changing the magnetron .
