Worked for two years and then failed

Our Panasonic NN-H965WF Genius Inverter microwave worked great for two years, but then we noticed that it would not pop a 1.7 ounce bag of popcorn.  We wasted three bags of popcorn thinking we had a couple of bad bags.  Turned out the microwave was losing power.  The problem progressed until it would take two minutes to heat a half cup of coffee from warm to slightly warmer.  Based on the reviews I've seen on this model, I would probably not buy another Panasonic microwave due to saftey concerns.  Our previous microwave from JC Penney lasted 25 years.  In my opinion, engineers and manufacturers know how to make a microwave last 25 years, but that is not good business for the industry.  If your microwave lasts that long, you will only buy two or three in your lifetime.  The industry needs you to buy 20 or 30 microwaves so they can keep their sales and revenues high.  In the end, it seems the best the average consumer can do is to try to get their cost down to about $30 or $40 per year while doing their best to maintain a decent level of product safety for their home.  Our cost on this oven has been $65 per year and there are at least a few people who have stated this product has caught on fire.  I give this unit one star because the Cons far outweight the Pros.

Pros: Large capacity, Inverter technology, Large turntable

Cons: Poor quality door latch, magnetron, and electronics which appear to put average life of this unit at two years.  Safety concerns with unit catching on fire.

Worked well for two years - mounted under the eaves, out of the weather. Like others have commented, the motion sensor wasn't as good as I'd hoped for, but it was sufficient. After a little less than two years, however, the whole thing stopped working. Very odd, but after reading other reviews on here, looks like others have had the same experience - and maybe I'm fortunate that mine lasted as long as it did.

Worked fine for 2 years and then it stopped accepting a charge.  Gave two stars because I got some useful life out of it, but one would think it should last longer than two years?

Worked fine for 22 months, then started making a repetitive clicking noise. I disconnected and reconnected it, and now it doesn't show up on my desktop. I suspect it has failed.

I have had 2 of these fail on a project car of mine in less than 2 years. One day it is working just fine, the next, nothing. No sound, nothing.

This unit worked fine for driving a couple bookshelf speakers in my office, but after about 2 years of occasional use it started horribly buzzing. Both channels (L & R) still worked, but it was buzzing so loud that I couldn't stand using it. It sounds like a fried power supply Changing the fuse did nothing, so off to the garbage it goes.

It lasted for 2 years and then failed one day. But it added an extra HDMI input when it worked. When it failed it destroyed the HDMI it was plugged into

CPU Fan failed after just 2 years.  Was a good product until that happened.  It did give a diagnostic about the fan which saved data.

Worked well for just less than 2 years, just failed and now a crappy $50 paper weight.

You can still buy 2 for less than the price of 1 Microsoft brand, so I suppose that's the silver lining.

Worked for two years. It was great when it worked. Then it started to dispense three shots at at time. :(

Stopped working after 2 yrs. Hardware unit failure. Have to toss it - money down the drain. Arrogant customer support who insisted 2-3 years is a long time and is this is no big deal

This device worked quite well for two and a half years and then died.  Good value for the price -- other similar network-controlled power strips cost at least twice as much.  Two and a half years isn't a bad run.  Looking to replace my dead unit with a NP-05B, will see if that lasts any longer.

We bought this 2 years ago, it worked great, but it just stopped working out of the blue. Not sure who to contact or if a 2 year lifespan is normal?

I USED THIS PRODUCT VERY GENTLY AND IT WORKED FINE FOR ABOUT 2 YEARS...THEN FOR NO REASON IT WON'T POWER BACK ON. NOW I HAVE TO BUY ANOTHER ONE...THIS TIME I THINK I'LL GO FOR A CONVERTER THAT WON'T DIE OUT ON ME.

Just completed the two years and then stopped working!
Nothing new in my use, as it had a timer inside
