I finally found a microwave I absolutely adore. It
only have one optoelectric rotor knob. And it has no
turntable. It have some kind of scattering technology
that cooks more evenly than a turntable. And it is
easy to clean. Built like a tank.


I think I've only owned three microwaves in my life. What
is the problem? When they do fail it is usually just a bad
safety switch or some other cheap part. I usually kill the
beeper.


Oh ya, the old ones lasted 20 years or more. The latest
offerings are shear crap. They turn on on the own, they
over heat, they catch fire, etc.. They are only good for
a year. I installed a switched outlet for the ones I
had. They are switched off when no one is in attendance.
And we have a fire extinguisher at the ready. 3C = Cheap

Maybe you shouldn't shop at Honest Bob's New, Used,
Scratch & Dent, Returns & Re-Furb Discount Outlet ..
My 3 year old $ 120. Panasonic Inverter unit is doing fine
and actually works better than the 20 year old one that
it replaced. I'm not expecting 20 years but I'll get 10 +
methinks.

That's what I have here too, Panasonic, about 7 years old, works
great, no problems. The light bulb did burn out, but I don't
feel like taking the whole damn thing apart to replace it. And like
yours, it cost less than half Mr. T's commercial one.

And, the new Panasonic inverter ovens have LED lighting which will
probably never burn out in the oven's life.
