We have a Panasonic inverter & has been great. 3 years old & no problems so far.
Apologies in advance for the foray off topic, but has anyone else noticed that the reviews for appliances on productreview.com.au are some of the most savagely negative anywhere on the internet? I was trying to buy a dryer recently and there literally wasn't a single model that cleared 4/5 stars, and only one which even got close. Every product you can think of is the worst, most unreliable piece of crap in existence, apparently.
The most extreme example I could find was for my cat's flea treatment. Apparently it killed about 50% of the reviewers' cats. Look elsewhere on the internet and the reviews are 99% positive. Incidentally my cat is very healthy and flea free...

Anyway, back to microwaves.
That is a fair point but....
I bought a Sunbean fan ignoring the numerous bad reviews listed on that website. The main complaint was a noticable bad hum when running the fan on the slower speeds.
After trialing the fan for 24 hours I ending up returning the fan back to the retailer for a refund due to the really loud annoying hum. So in this case the reviews were accurate.
It's a fact though that given an medium to complain or praise a product we are more likely to look for somewhere to complain first & praise... well maybe some, but most don't.
jonathan18: We moved back to a Sharp as we really missed the one-button for one minute setting - it's just so much more convenient
It sure is. My 9-year-old Sharp still works, and I use the one-button start frequently. I was using my parents' Panasonic once and I pressed Start and nothing happened. Jokingly I jabbed it a few more times and it froze the entire interface and put "child lock" on the screen. Rude!
