What to look for in a microwave

[SteelersPride]

Is it worth spending 400 bucks on one?

 

[Think McFly Think]

Does this 400 dollar microwave prepare food for you before you put food into it?

or whatver the price, like whats reasonable, what should i look for

I think you can buy a microwave for under 100 bucks easily. Higher wattage ones might be a bit more costly but not 400 bucks.

What are you looking for? Any color preference? Counter top or over the stove? You are looking at anywhere from <$100 to >$400.

I put a bad ass stainless one that could do all sorts of stuff in our last house when I redid the kitchen. It only ever got used for reheating stuff, never used all the gadgets en sech. So skip all the fancy setting and just get one that fits your space and is the color you like

well how many watts yah need.........like 900-1000

If you are ever cooking for reheating for more than one, then I'd look a little higher. 11100-1200 I think is what is considered "high".

black, countertop, could do chrome, basic with some decent power

I bought one of these about 3 or 4 months ago and really like it so far, it was somewhere between $200-$300...

Sounds like a winner. Anything less powered wouldn't last long or wouldn't heat anything.
