Our microwave kept blowing the breaker even after repairs, so I (somehow) found a perfect used one on Craigslist and replaced it today.
Surprisingly easy to remove the old one and remount it, plus I saved several hundred dollars in appliance and installation costs.
I had a 6 year old bosch die on me. Turns out almost all microwaves are made by the same two Chinese companies regardless of name brand. They are all trash now.
Except the Panasonics with inverters, apparently.
Yup and once you know this you start seeing the same design everywhere.
Correct, I didn’t even have to swap the mounting bracket or drill new screw holes even though the new one was a different brand.
The crazy part is, the microwaves I’ve used in China are good, 2 knobs, one for wattage, the other for time. There are good models, but why import them when you can import 10 types of cheap ones and brand half them as luxury?
