(More customer reviews)We purchased this item from a local appliance store on Feb 19, 2010. The salesperson praised the Whirlpool line over Sharp or GE which they didn't sell. The Whirlpool line has Magic Chef on the low end, then next up is Whirpool and Amana with Maytag their top of the line. He didn't think it was worth the extra $100.00 to buy the Maytag for the little extra quality or features and neither did we. We were replacing our less than three year old Panasonic that had a spin dial and inverter that went out and the parts were as much as a new microwave.
The first one of these microwaves we brought home we got out of the box and the control panel was hanging loose on the front. The holes on the side of the unit looked like they should have screws to hold the control panel in and they were missing. We called the store and took it back for an exchange when we were in that town next. On 2/24/10 we brought the second Amana microwave home. They opened, inspected and tested it before sending it home with us. The panel was a little loose and had no screws in it but we were comfortable using it.
On 3/6/10 the light inside of the microwave went out. We called in and the appliance store sent us out a bulb for free but we have to install it because it wasn't covered under warranty. To even change the bulb you have to have a speciality security screwdriver to open the case (which we happen to have).
3/22/10 - We received the bulb but hadn't installed it yet and went to warm up some breakfast and the microwave was asking us to set the clock. We set the clock, opened the microwave and the screen went dead. When we would open and shut the door the control panel would flash about 6 times but now has stopped even flashing. It was completely dead. We tried plugging it into a different circuit, and plug (along with other items that were plugged in and functioning) and nothing. We have called and will bring it back to the store again and they are going to give us our money toward another one of these which we will NOT buy or another microwave in the store.
Save yourself the hassle we have had and buy another brand. At least we have an appliance store that will take a lemon back.
