They don't make them like they used to! ;)
Ah yes,looked that one up,it is known to have problems on every 721million'th unit.
The adviser in that link was a depressing fellow.

421174 2006-01-25 03:49:00 I purchased my first Panasonic MW from Harvey Norman in Sydney 25 years ago and retired it in full working order about 2 years ago. It was so old that it had a mechanical timer. It sold in a garage sale for $100.

It never missed a beat, though I did replace the magnetron after about 15 years of constant daily use. It was still working, it was just a little slower on bigger heating/cooking tasks. I replaced it with another Panasonic of course.

I have never liked Sharp products of any description, though I do have a Sharp TV that my wife won in a competition.

Apart from Sharp, you can pretty much buy on appearance and price now, they are so cheap they've become disposable items and anything more than 5 years service is a real bonus.

Replaced a little motor that turns the table,$9 and put it in myself.
I don't use it of course,but SHMBO loves it.
We remain amazed that the convection facility remains unpopular here.
