Comment:
We only had this microwave 5 months and we started smelling a burning aroma. This is the 3rd one we have owned in 5 years. The first one lasted just under 3 years, stopped working. The 2nd one's door latch broke just past the 2 year warranty. Need a authorized dealer to put one on and it almost cost as much as a new one. All were purchased from Costco. My Kenmore lasted over 25 years and still worked but we wanted one with more wattage. This is the last one I will purchase. Looking at the Kenmore Models again.
How long have you owned it:
Three-to-six months
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Comment:
Bought the lower end Inverter which worked well for 5 months under normal reheating, defrosting and popcorn making. H98 code appeared and it quit working. Back to Panasonic who fixed it at no charge. Plugged it in and still doesn't work with code H98 again. So, back to the shop but we are done with Panasonic because how many weeks can you be without a product you use daily before you move on to a better choice?

Comment:
After a couple years the unit was working fine except the plastic door latch slide inside the door broke, making the unit unusable. I was able to disassemble the door to diagnose the problem; the plastic slide for the latch is really flimsy. It's really too bad that Panasonic saved probably less than a penny on plastic.
How long have you owned it:
More than six months
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
