Is the R520 microwave durable?

The unit I purchased in 2011 was th Panasonic NN-H965BF Luxury Full-size 2.2 Cu.Ft 1250 Watt Microwave Oven. I have been very satisfied with this unit although the first unit shipped was defective and had to be replaced by Amazon. Jane A. Travis answered on March 18, 2013

Thanks for the response! I went ahead and ordered the Sharp R530, since I had one since 2001, and it just went. I figured 12 years for a microwave TODAY is just about as good as it gets!

Id buy a Sharp or Panasonic before the Magic Chef or other off brand microwave,

Mine have held up fine through many re-heats (although mine are different than this picture, the lids are hard plastic with a rubber gasket and snap on). The glass bowl certainly is microwave safe, so if you are extra-conscious about plastic in the microwave, just take the lid off.

Reliable yes, so far, about 8 months. Not thrilled with the overall operation though. The controls are not straightforward, especially for the microwave. Most frustrating part is that the timing function is limited to 15 second increments. Overall meets our requirements for saving space with the combo convection microwave unit with our kitchen remodel. In hindsight might have gone with 2 separate units but will live with this one until it fails.

Yes, it's very durable. Contact me at ktucker@cobbtechnologies.com for more details.

Bob H, I bought one and it is perfect. It is just as the original one was, and I am about to buy a microwave plate for my daughter's microwave. This is less expensive than buying a brand new microwave, especially when the only problem was a missing/broken plate.

Bought it last year to replace the microwave that I gave away. It works quite well. No problems.

It has held up to the dishwasher just fine(including the lid which I put in the silverware basket). I do not have a microwave so I can't help with that.

I don't know the answer to your question but I will have to say I would never buy a Samsung microwave. Been there done that, they last about a year and then they die.

Yes, I have microwaved in mine many times. I am very happy with mine. They make a pretty presentation when having company

We have our oven for about four years and never needed any repairs. I don't recommend buying this product - not powerful as a microwave (needs more time to nuke); too weak as a steamer (we revert back to using a bamboo steamer). The only merit is that it works good as a second oven. We paid $1000, at the same price we could have gotten a better looking microwave/convection oven combo.

It seems very durable mine has no noticeable chips after a year and a half use.

Yes. I have not had it more than a few months. But I am still just as pleased with it. What I cannot report on is durability.

The microwave nor pizza oven has never stopped working. Functionally this microwave is a tank. However the microwave has a design flaw. There is a plastic strip between the microwave and the bottom oven. When cooking with the bottom oven there is no place the steam to be relased. Therefore after a year or two, this strip cracks and breaks. Thus we have had to have it repaired 3 times over the years. My wife deals with the inconvenience because she loves its performance.

I wouldn't microwave anything with much grease on it but so long as you aren't actually cooking on it, it should hold up okay.

I have used it for probably over a year and have not had any problems with it. It appears to be pretty ruggedly constructedand would not expect any problems with it. I would caution you about the antenna though, when extended it is thinner than a toothpick and quite fragile. I have not had any problems with it because I am extremely careful with it.I am generally satisfied with it but If you are considering purchasing there are some other issues. I have reviewed it and the review may still be on line.

I've put mine in the microwave and dishwasher several times and have had no problems.

It's pretty sturdy. I use it in my basement to house a lot of my home-office supplies and have placed many things on top. I'm not certain if the heat generated from a microwave will be helpful for longevity purposes, but I do believe it is strong enough to hold a medium sized one.
