My ~15 year old Panasonic NN-ST657S microwave packed it in this morning so I need to try and buy a replacement in a hurry. I've done a quick look around and have read a few OzBargain posts and I still have no idea what to go for.
My old microwave was a 32L inverter so I wouldn't really want to go smaller than that as we are a family of 5. I would also rather pay for a higher end model if it will last longer and be worth the upgrade, rather than paying for a cheapie.
I've seen quite a few comments that some models will interfere with bluetooth and wi-fi signals when being used. Given that I have a mesh wi-fi network and use bluetooth headphones for calls & meetings regularly when I work from home, I'd really like to avoid this issue if possible.
I've also seen that there are a few flat bed models without turntables, but have seen mixed reviews on these. I'd definitely be open to a flatbed (or any other new fancy tech), but only if it heats evenly.
Are there any makes & model that anyone could recommend that meet my criteria?
I'd just get another Panasonic inverter.
IMO ignoring any gimmicks or stylish looks, the Panasonics are up there with the best, I'd only switch to a different brand if you had a compelling reason.
I have a modern Panasonic and don't have any issues with WiFi or bluetooth.
