Review of Panasonic NNA554W

Panasonic Microwave Problems

Advantages: very handsome unit with excellent features
Disadvantages: units are extremely prone to failure due to stressed INVERTED power supply technology

...all, please be aware that Panasonic Microwaves have an inverter supply to its magnetron, which is a high voltage step up to heat the food, this inverter technology is prone to high rates of failure, and occurences of Panasonic MWave failures relating to theyre inverter technolgies are rife. As ever these units are failing after 1-3 year mark, and cost of repair, despite the general higher cost of this prestige brand, is uneconimical, as i have found ...
...are far too taxing for Panasonic engineers to deliver an inverter unit that shows reliance of the heavier, yet more reliable technolgy of heavy standard transformer based units like Sharp, and others.Weight has no bearing on microwave units as they are effectively static devices. I got 3 years out of my Panasonic, and i do belive in repair before replacement, but there remains an intrinsic weakness in Inverter based microwaves that all should be ...

Review of Panasonic NNE225BBBPQ

Attention Seeking Microwave

Advantages: simple to use and clean, cheap, small
Disadvantages: slightly noisier alarm

...3-4 models our choice was Panasonic NN-E255W. We are now proud owners of small, simple, does-what-it-says-on-the-box microwave. There are few unnecessary buttons for our liking but overall control panel is simple and clear. That makes it very easy to use. It is not particularly silent when works but nothing unusual or noisy. The only small problem is the signal that it had finished. There are 5 high pitched sounds which you cannot stop unless you ...
...a bit over the top alarm - like a baby which needs attention. Although I have to say that my boys (1 1/2 and 5) love that sound and run in anticipation of the hot milk. Another small gripe would be an internal light. It stays on if the door is open and becomes hot after few minutes. So better keep door closed once dish is taken from the oven. It has five power levels including defrosting and 6 preset programmes. It has digital display which shows ...

Daewoo KOR-8A0R - Funky Microwave for cheap price

Advantages: It looks great, plus does everything it promises
Disadvantages: Gets dirty easily

We bought this Microwave about 7 months ago and it was a great buy. The black shiny casing is classy and funky, stands out in the kitchen as you would expect. Saying that it shows up dust and finger prints very easily! The inside is large which is a plus and apparently has some sort of new technology that works more effectively than normal microwaves, all that I can say is that it works very well and is quiet as well. The only problem I have with ...
...temperature settings, for frozen, one touch settings ect, it is difficult to get exact times with the timer dial. It will only recognize 10 second intervals and skips about easily, so for example getting 2 minutes 30 seconds can take some fiddling. If you want an expensive looking microwave for half the cost I would recommend this as a winner ...

Review of Daewoo KOR8AOR

Prestige CB130 Combination Microwave-looks aren't everything!

Advantages: Cheap price for a stainless steel combination microwave oven.
Disadvantages: Poor build quality and components.Cheap but not cheerful. Large & cumbersome

...manufacturers who make quality pans, but now I'm not sure it is the same company, and if it is, they need to stick to making pans. I will not be buying another Prestige electrical product and would advise people to think twice before buying a microwave from this manufacturer's range. ...
