Has anyone had this microwave last longer than 1 year?

I just had a similar Panasonic model which I bought from Amazon also. It was large like this one, and it was 1200 watts. Mine lasted for 4 years and 4 months. Thoroughly LOVED the way it worked! Also owned a Panasonic before that one, although I don't remember how long it lasted.

I've had mine for about a year now. It seems to be working just fine still.

No, sounds like any other microwave we've had. We really like it and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to other people.

My previous one (same model), lasted more than 10 years, and I did NOT take particularly good care of it. Here's an excerpt from my review:"2003 - early 2014: This Marathon 8AM-U1R lasted over 10 years and was still working when I replaced it (with the same model) in February 2014, mostly just for peace of mind!"

I never have, and I've used it about a dozen times. I purchased it solely for use in the microwave.

Mine did the same. I was warming up water in a glass bowl, the humming noise got really loud and the whole thing failed. Studies have shown 15% of all Samsung microwaves fail. The repair person (who wanted $350 to fix it) said she estimates 60% of Samsung microwaves fail after 5 years. Samsung decided to fix mine for free, but I'm very tempted to just get something else. Also, Samsung requires only Samsung parts be used in repair, so expect repairs to take longer and be more expensive. They're still working through mine, but know that fuses blew and the mag is probably bad. Sorry you may be in the same boat I am.

I've definitely owned it for over a year. still works fine. It's not as strong as a different brand I used previously but also doesn't burn things as much. Just takes longer to cook.

It worked great for about 1 yr. I dont know if it stopped working properly because of wear and tear or if something happened to it.

Sorry We have only had it less than a year, but we have been putting it through heavy use, at least once a week, and when it was new two or three times a week! Have had no issues and the heating and start up times have not weakened etc. still making perfect waffles every time!

I was able to fix mine myself from doing online research and found video on Youtube. The circuit board was contaminated from the steam. I removed it and clean it with alcohol and put it back and it has been working ever since. That's a very poor design. This is an oven range microwave. it should be able to withstand that kind of problem. I will definitely not going with Samsung again on my next purchase.

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.

I did not, but only because this beast lasts a lot longer than one year - who needs a warranty for a product like this?

We've had ours for over a year and have had no problems. I don't know of too many appliances such as this that offer more than a full year, plus the fact that if it is not installed properly by the owner, it could cause malfunction. We love ours.

Not at all. I've used this for about 4 mos now without any issues. Food is hot and microwave is clean.

mine is still working, I also bought the extended warranty. I new that the more thing on a microwave the more to go wrong. Sorry not much help but the pizza oven is great

Some reviews of this microwave have noted this as a problem, usually right before the machine dies. You should definitely contact the manufacturer asap. Hopefully your microwave is still under warranty.
