    My microwave died this morning!

    While heating up a potato this morning my microwave started to buzz really loud and spark underneath and behind. I decided I didn't need my house burning down so I chucked it. Now the mission of buying a new microwave!

    I'll probably head over to Target later today to pick up a new one but have no idea what's good and what isn't, I've never bought a microwave before! Any suggestions? Definitely needs one of those rotating plates, cooks the food better. I've been checking them out online and I see prices ranging from $50 to $200.

              Just get the one with the most power for the cheapest price. These days they're so cheap if you need to buy one every couple of years, you're fine.

              Oddly mine's almost 10 years old, gets used several times a day and the sucker just keeps running. I want a new one but I can't rationalize it until this one dies on me. It's a Panasonic if that helps you find one that will last forever

                  I would like to express my deepest condolences to their families and friends of the microwave. Have you set a memorial where we can send our respects?

                          good, microwaves aren't healthy.

                          get an alternative, they're out there.

                                                  wrap it in foil next time, that will save your microwave from breaking.

                                                      oh yeah, check the watts on it, besides that it doesnt really matter unless you need special features.

                                                                          Have fun.
