Panasonic Microwaves Suck!

This is the last Panasonic microwave I ever buy. Been through 3 now, and the build quality is appalling. This latest 300 quid monster blew smoke after 18 months when the Magnetron evaporated itself producing a fantastic firework display. Took a gamble on fixing it with a replacement magnetron for 30 quid off ebay - job done!

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...

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.

These will microwave themselves.

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.

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

@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.

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 .
