Panasonic Microwave - NN-SD691S - $139.99

I forgot to mention that I bought it in store, not online.
It was bought a the Costco in Montreal on Bridge Street.

Says regular price in Edmonton. White one is 129.

Keep your receipt, We're on our 3rd one in 2.5yrs. The control knob and door latch went on the first one. The second one had a blue smoke moment. Thankfully it's Costco and neither of them made it past the 1st year warranty. The 3rd one seems to be OK for now. (fingers crossed)

When I first saw the picture I thought to myself "I would have sworn I saw this one at Value Village the other day," so I guess based on your experience someone else may have had some problems as well.

Our office got one of these recently. I find the knob for setting the duration to be a hassle. Call me old fashion, but I much prefer a keypad :p

Just had a panasonic go after 2 years, not going to buy that brand again.

At Costco, you don't actually need receipt, just show your membership card and they will look through your purchase history.

I had Danby brand from Walmart and it had last 13 years and still going strong.

FWIW, my experience has been pretty good so far. I've had it for about 3 years now and had no issues with mine (knock on wood). Mind you, I'm probably considered a light user.

Edit: I should also add that I bought this microwave on sale at Costco for about the same price 3 years ago.

I also have a $100 Danby from Future Shop, purchased 2005 and still going strong for 10 years.
Meanwhile, my 3 year old $400 Over The Range Samsung is breaking up in multiple places: latch, door, panel.

Bought mine 3 years ago too, no trouble with function yet.

I hate the knob and the digital screen is unreadable with sun.

I won't buy another one for sure.

Same here, i just used quick min..1, 2, 3mins, etc., screw the knob (pun intended)

I just recently bought the same one at Costco a month ago for 169.99 + Tax

Can I get the price difference if I take my receipt to my nearby Costco?

You most certainly can. Not likely you'll even need to bring your receipt since they'll have a record of your purchase attached to your account info.

Here for price adjustement (within 30 days or so), receipt is required, otherwise you'll have to return and rebuy it..

I've been using this microwave (purchased from Costco as well) for 2.5years now. Very powerful and love the knob.

Bought this at a local shop called teletime elctronics in brampton for $110(negotiated was asking $125) including tax brand new, just couple of weeks ago but YMMV.

At home, we have an LG microwave that has been working well for the past 10 years so far.

+1.

We have one of these at work and I always use the quick minute button.

Costco.ca has it at $ 149.99 as regular price now.

I guess $ 139.99 will be the regular price at the store.
