Default Damn Microwave died, any reccommendations?

Looks like we are going to be shopping for a new Microwave oven tonight/tomorrow. In the market for something cheap/effective so anyone out there recently pick up a good deal or know of any?

Yeah, it wouldnt be all that bad but with a little one around your always heating things or defrosting frozen meat at last minute. Just from reading a few reviews, it looks like GE and Whirlpool make a decent product. Sad that a $100 purchase is so disposable [:@]

Go buy another one...its more money to get it repaired than to just buy a brand new one. I just went down that road...so I just chucked it in the garbage, what a waste [&:]

Hey, I have two microwaves in my basement. One is from my grandma's house (RIP), and the other was the one I used before I installed an installed an over-the counter model. They're both less than 10 years old. You can have them if you want. One's a GE and the other is a Sharp. The problem is, you're in Wisconsin, and I'm in Ohio... lol.

Oh, don't worry. The microwave didn't kill my grandma.

... I have a sick sense of humor, I know.

So far this one sounds the best to me. Im lookin at reviews from Wallyworld, Sears, and now BestBuy and this LG sounds best for its size

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage....=1206142172456

For all I know we may just run a pick up the cheapest thing we can find. From the sound of it, these things are just way to unreliable [:'(]

Edit, thanks for the offer Greek. You should throw them up on Craigslist, bet theres more than one person out of a micro
