Panasonic NN-T655SF 1-1/5-Cubic-Foot 1250-Watt Inverter Microwave Oven, Black and Stainless

We bought this microwave less than 4 years ago. It died yesterday. My previous microwave lasted 20 years and was still working when we sent it to e-cycle.

The microwave works as advertised. Heats quickly but not always very evenly especially with liquid which isn't so bad since you can easily stir liquids. Panasonic make a big deal about defrosting using their inverter technology, but I don't see that...

we got this microwave last summer, and it died this morning. i saw a similar review online -- it doesn't heat anymore, you can hear that it no longer "shifts" over into heating/inverter status and the fan is the only thing running. then it shuts off...

Cooks fast.

Live expectancy.

Price, features, design.

It is a little hard to keep clean and some of the controls are counter-intuitive.
