Comment:
This Sanyo failed to work after ten months of fair service. It was stuck on one imput, I unplugged it, waited a while re-plugged it and nothing happened. I called Sanyo, Still under warrantee they gave me two repair services, one in Queens, Major Appliances, when called they said they don't service Sanyo microwaves, Then I called a Brooklyn Co., they said they don't fix Sanyo products. I called Sanyo back, they gave me two more repair services, one in Haggettstown, NJ, when I called there I got a verizon voice message to enter my mailbox or redial, I redialed and got the same voice message.I then called the 4th referral to quality electronics in Florida, New York. When I called the clerk said, 'do you realize we are two hours from NY? Besides, she said, we don't repair Sanyo Microwaves. '<br /> Don't buy Sanyo if your machine breaks down you are out-of-luck!

Do Not Buy: &quot;Cross off list rated&quot;

Comment:
Do not buy this microwave! The magnetron failed after 5 months of light use. Even before that the clock could not keep accurate time as it ran ahead a few minutes a month. The topper is that service stinks, as the closest service center to me in Orlando, FL is 60 miles away out in the middle of nowhere.
