Recommend Me A Microwave ..
Ours has just gone POP 
We had one for about 18 years, cost £250 in the mid 80's
It was a Tricity and was brilliant.
Bought this one about 5 years ago, Hinari - has a Grill and is an Oven also (never used either feature!) ... pretty crap overall - but, a lot cheaper than our first one!
Anyway, now want the simplest one we can find - Microwave only - with as few options on it as possible. Just a power setting and time - start button of course!
Anyone just bought one after some research?
Size about 20 Litres I imagine? Rotating Turntable also.

Buy Cookworks White Manual Microwave. at Argos.co.uk - Your Online Shop for .
Got the silver one myself. Don't see the point in spending £100's for a fancy all singing all dancing microwave just to show off to family and friends

Do you really want a microwave or are you just starting a thread saying you want one which is total fabrication and lies?
One needs to ask due to recent events, I could be wasting my time.

Yes, the fuse blew for a reason
Maybe if you had fitted a Knock Link then you would have had some advanced warning.
Do you have a fuse?
Or maybe just an offswitch?

Bloody Marvellous 
Bought the TESCO MG208 - £45, just 1 hour ago ... got home, unpacked, plugged in - NOTHING!!
I know what you are thinking - wall socket .... no, took the microwave into the hall, plugged in - NOTHING! Fuse is fine - now I have to go all the way back!!

Mrs Leslie wanted a very simple one so we got a Panasonic which has controls that even I can use, can't tell you the model because she can't find the manufacturer's boook-as usual.
Came from Comet.
Can't think why you should post this unless you are actually interested in getting a microwave oven! Thats what I asume anyway.
