[Electronics-Talk] Looking For a good microwave

[Sherry Gomes]

I had a Panasonic like that years ago. Then I got my amazon smart oven, which they don't make anymore, and in a cross country move I gave away my Panasonic. Think I got it at target back then. It had raised lines between the number rows, and the numbers were touch operated, but indented a bit so they were easy to find with the fingers, and not sensitive to the point of setting things you don't want, my my regular oven in my house. My smart oven is getting old and I worry about it dying, so I've been considering if I could find a Panasonic like the one I had before, maybe I'd get it as a backup. My house has an over the stove microwave, but I can't reach it so don't use it. The Panasonic worked great. It was big and had good power.

Hi.


Is it just a countertop model that you need and not a range head? The Panasonic inverter units are still around. Some of them have raised lines between the buttons and some of the buttons are regular physical raised buttons. You can find them on Amazon. I had mine for a long time and it's still working great. Got it at Walmart but haven't been able to find one there in ages.
