Title: Too much current
Review: The oven arrived quickly and cooked fine, but it kept tripping the circuit breaker. A quick investigation showed the cause: instead of drawing the 12.7 Amps that the manual specifies, it was drawing more like 17 Amps! That seemed dangerous, and might mean that it would fail soon, so I returned it to Amazon for a replacement.Amazon made it easy to replace, but when the second microwave arrived, it had exactly the same problem! I call Panasonic technical support, and they claimed that the 12.7 A spec was correct, and that there was no recall. They offered to pay to have a repairman look at it and try to fix it, but at this point I'm just going to get a refund and try a different brand. Which is a shame, because I liked the features and how cooked, right up until the lights went out.If you have a 20 Amp dedicated circuit for your microwave, you might not notice this problem, but it would make me nervous to know that an appliance is using so much more power than it was rated for.
Is the review positive or negative?
