I recently retired the predecessor to the Pansonic.
It was a National from 1980, yes it may have been expensive back then, but it lasted 33 years and only needed a minor repair to keep going.
How long will this last?
I have a recent Panasonic microwave which is about 3 years old. At about 2 years old it failed due to broken plastic parts which switch on/off as the door is opened and closed.
Seriously worst design I've ever seen. These have plastic parts that BEND (by design) every time you open/close the door.. Guess what? They'll break after moderate use.
Never again will I buy a panasonic microwave due to this - utterly ridiculous deign flaw.
I was lucky and was able to repair mine with some glue and a quad copter propeller (yes.. strange I know).
But seriously, these are DESIGNED TO FAIL after some use.
Other than that, they are great microwaves though.
Context: my 20 year old sharp still works perfectly - no silly design issues…
From what I gather, they don’t make them like they used to. Seriously. 20 yr ones still work, but new ones are reported to last about 5 years. Source, I have a 20 yr old microwave and have been in the market for a while but can’t grasp where a made to last model can be found.
I tried to buy this item on ebay but it say code "PGOOD20" can not be applied to this item?
any idea guys ?It worked for me.
Try a different browser, Add to Cart, go to Checkout then add the code there (before payment).
If you're tight for space and want a big microwave, the flatbed inverters are on sale too for $255.55

The 27L flatbed is equivalent to about a 40L normal microwave because they don't have the glass spinny tray, so unlike normal microwave ovens, the whole compartment is usable.
I hope they stand the test of time, I'm really happy with mine.
