oh dear! Here's my personal experience from Africa...I was given an LG microwave for my birthday in 2003 - and it's still going strong, despite having been operated for 5 years by teenagers and men, sat on by cats and occasionally drenched by rain from a leaky roof!
Sorry to hear about your microwave. We were having the same problem a few years back. Our latest (3 yrs old) is a Kenmore and (knocks on wood)works like a champ. Good luck!!
We had a Sharp that we loved. Unfortunately, something got damaged on the move from our old house to this one, where we have a built-in one that we're still using but hate. (It doesn't have a turntable for a start!)
I think this is the closest to the model we had. The Sensor cooking (available on lots of the Sharps) really worked well for us.
We've have a GE Spacemaker XL for years (knock on wood). It is an over the stove model and functions as an exhaust fan. I don't have a lot of counter top space.
We (family of four) used ours just about daily since purchasing it in 1980; a Montgomery Ward model. It's been great, although a bit underpowered by today's standards. I did have to replace the interior light bulb once.
we have had an Emerson for a while now ... inexpensive and perfect compact size for our small kitchen but they have many models ... I love the turntable ...
We had a Sharp for years and it was great. I don't remember why (or when or where, it's been so long!) we bought a Panasonic, but it's been a real workhorse for a good long time.

I've always had good luck with Kenmore - in fact, there's one in the family that's still working after 15 years!

We've had good success with a Sharp.

ReplyDeleteMaybe you should go for the high-end or professional range of them this time around? Like from a home builder supply co.?
ReplyDeleteWe've been using ours for 8 years and no problem whatsoever. Ours is a Whirlpool GOld.
As George said, we've had a Sharp for a long time--with no problems.

ReplyDeleteI just bought the cheapest one I could find, a Samsung and I've had it years now. It gets used every day for my husband's porridge!
ReplyDelete... most microwave oven malfunctions are simply an 18-cent, internal fuse that has blown...
