Hi 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 out with my unit.
Inverter technology is applied to units like laptop chargers, pcs etc to make them more efficient and smaller, but the requirements for a 800w to 1200w microwave 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 aware of, and hence i will be seeking out a non-inverted based replacement for our needs.
Hope this helps any one looking for new kit, incidentally i have a Panasonic hifi that i bought 13 years ago, replaced the cd deck 9 years ago with Dixons, and still going strong, im just glad it doesnt say INVERTER anywhere on it!
