General Comments

I bought this just over three years ago after researching various models. It was one of the most expensive at the time and the solid reputation of previous Panasonic models persuaded me to part with my money.

I haven't used it heavily since (once a month at most) yet only a month after the warranty expired it started to power on then after a few seconds switch itself off.

I've since researched this on the net and found many others with the same fault. Apparently it's due to a faulty resistor on the circuit board that overheats.

I wouldn't have minded so much if it was a cheap model as I'd not have expected much more but it is billed as a top-of-the-range brand.

Won't be buying Panasonic again.
