Contrarian advice: order the mighty Panasonic 1350W from Amazon, and they use their FedEx trucks to get it to your doorstep, for free. It only winds up with a small dent in the top, which you can probably bend back into shape.

I had actually considered that option, especially since items over $25 qualify for free supersaver shipping.

I had the nuker of my dreams in my shopping cart. Probably still is there, I'll have to be careful if I order some books.

But then I thought ... "What if it breaks and I have to return it? That will suck ass ..."

So I went with the "small enough to fit in the car" option.

Small microwaves defeat the purpose of the turntable, because whatever you put in (aside from a plate) will hit the edges and not turn. Packages of meat, pizza boxes, etc.

$50 microwaves don't have cool features like automatic popcorn and reheat settings. (yes, they really work in mine)

OK well I would just like to point out that I would have sold you my little turntably Sharp for $50 at the second post of the thread and you turned it down!

Do so! Mine does, anyway ... the popcorn pops to perfection. It also has a setting for beverage heating that is adaptable to the smaller teacup size and the larger mug size.

And single dish items placed on the turntable are able to make a complete spin.

Oooh! I like that one, Wolf, and its in my price range, too! I'm gonna run down and get one this afternoon. Hot meals again! Hot diggety dog! I even printed out the best buy page so I could be sure to get the right one! :browhappy

They have cheaper ones too. I just liked that it was both cheap AND shiny.

and evil. dont forget evil

Based on real-world prices I will drop my asking price for my Sharp with the best user interface I've ever seen to $30.

I adore evil! I have been practicing evil all day now with Wolf's dread machine. The devil made me do it! Bwa-ha-ha! :nuke: :scream: :lol:
