We bought this product in January 2015 and it has been a big disappointment. The door latch has been difficult to use from the beginning & now it doesn't go on unless you push in on the door & even then is intermittent. So, in less than a year we are looking again.
This is the same model displayed here with Inverter.

The door latch gave us problems from day one, and now the microwave won't even turn on. We opened the door only to find that the top door latch has fallen off!!!! We've only had the microwave for a year!!!!!!! Too much money paid for such a short period of time. Will never buy a Panasonic microwave again!!!!!

This didn't last much more than a year and the door latch broke. Panasonic doesn't have a fix for it. I was told I would have to take it to a repair shop and see if they could fix it! I would have to pay!! ALSO, the interior coating wears off and rusts. I would have rust flakes in my food.
I'm extremely unhappy with this purchase

The door latch is defective as many others have said and renders the appliance worthless
