Microwave Recommendations

[sharonmickey]

My neighborhood had a power surge/outage last night. I lost my microwave. Does anyone have suggestions for a new one? I just want something basic - defrost, time cook; nothing fancy. Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

I saw in the Target weekly ad that they have microwaves on sale for $49.

Is this a sit on the counter microwave or one that has the venting for the stove as well??

We bought one out of the box at HD for like 50$ off the listed price. Easy to clean, easy settings, and plenty big. I wish I could remember which one it is, but I'm not at home to tell you. I'd take a quick look into the clearance section at lowe's or home depot. And if there's a pretty badly damaged box, talk to the department head about knocking a percentage off. There's usually a significant amount of styrofoam between the box and product that there's usually nothing wrong with the product itself... Just a thought.

I'm looking at a counter microwave. I tried both Lowes and Home Depot today but they did not have any damaged or clearance microwaves. In fact nothing in their inventories impressed me. I think I'll go to Erie tomorrow and look. A lot of the neighbors have damaged electronics, we've all filed a claim so hopefully will get reimbursed.

I can't recommend one but a handy little site is salescircular.com

They post the electronic sales by state. They do miss some of the smaller, local stores but it does cover places like best buy, kmart, target, walmart, etc.

Just for Pennsylvania they have 3 listed:

This is for less than 1 cu. ft.

Hope it helps.
