Purchased a Panasonic Inverter Microwave 1250 W a year ago and the piece of crap died three days ago. H97 error - microwave motor died. Will start then die. Contacted Panasonic and they stated that I would have to drive 30 miles one way just to have someone see if it could be repaired or it was eligible to be repaired under warranty.

Now I know what Inverter technology stands for. Inverter technology allows Panasonic to invert $165 from my wallet to their company in exchange for a piece of Chinese garbage. Yes, Panasonic is a Jap name that now peddles soley Chinese garbage. AVOID PANASONIC NAMED ITEMS.
