Hi All,

I have two Toshiba EM925A5A-BS Microwave Ovens on switched
outlets (good thing).

One overheats and trips its thermal breaker. The top get
really, really hot and you can only briefly touch it.

The other one decided to run on it own. (I threw the
switch on the outlet.)

Who makes a reliable microwave oven now-a-days?

Many thanks,
-T

There are only a few manufacturers of the many brands.

At work we had a couple of cheap $79 GE from WalMart and they held up
rather well for a few years, still going strong in the break room. We
have a GE OTR for over a dozen years.

For the counter, I'd probably buy what looks pretty for $100 or so.

The best we've ever owned is Panasonic. We gave an earlier model to
a friend who has had it at last 10 years. Our current one we've had
for at least 6-7 years.

We've never had a problem with Microwave ovens.
First one lasted 20 odd years, 2nd lasted about 15.
All were still working fine when we upgraded models.
The latest one is a Panasonic inverter type(no revolving platter).

Same - Same ... just a few years ago we replaced our
20 year old ? with a 1.2 cu.ft. Panasonic inverter
with revolving platter, ~ $ 120. on sale.

We had a Sharp. Lasted over thirty years. We now have a Panasonic. Very
much lighter with a digital keypad. The old clockwork one on the Sharp
was faster. If I had ever dropped the Sharp it would have opened a
sinkhole. The Panasonic was about 1/2 of the cost of what I paid for the
Sharp all those years ago. Both do/did the job. Had the Panasonic for
about 5 years. Looking good. Obviously not a good choice for Bouffy to
dry off his Poodles.

Mine is a JC Penny, about 32 years old. The only problem it has had was
fixed with a 69-cent fuse from Radio Shack. It's less powerful (700W)
than modern ones, but adjusting the cooking time works OK.

JC Penny's is now only selling GE counter top Microwaves.

WARNING: GE sold their appliances the to the master S*** maker
of all time: Haier. GE no longer makes appliances.
