    This is a terrible microwave. We have had almost 100 days. We purchased it July and now it doesn’t work. It won’t even attempt to warm anything. I would add a video but it will not let me.

    Magnetron Failed after 4 Weeks - Do Not Buy

    Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    DO NOT BUY - this thing is faulty. I've only owned this microwave for a month. Today it stopped heating food and makes a strange sound when I turn it on. I suspect the magnetron has already failed. ONE MONTH OF OWNERSHIP AND ITS BROKEN. Best Buy return window is closed. To say I'm livid is an understatement as this thing was not cheap and I have no recourse. Will never buy a Panasonic again. This is my second Panasonic microwave that failed out of nowhere

    Door lock feature cost it a star

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This replaces a similar model that an electrical surge fried. The old model was 5-stars, and this one lost a star because it has a door lock default that has to be reset every time a power outage occurs. We discovered this when a highly intelligent offspring forgot the water for his ramen noodles and they caught fire. I went to open the door to extinguish the fire and lost a half minute figuring out this default lock feature.
