What do you use your microwave for? I rarely do more than cook frozen peas and packet rice and bough a Samsung in Sainsbury's for about £80. It's a bit like my tumble drier - I hardly use it but wouldn't like not to have one!

Forgot to add, I'm looking for a fairly compact model as there's just the 2 of us.

Hi everyone. Just wondering if anyone out there can recommend a decent microwave oven? Doesn't have to be all singing, all dancing, but I'd like one with push pads rather than a dial. My faithful old Toshiba model has started making a strange noise - it's only 30 years old, maybe I should send it back and ask for a refund for shoddy workmanship!??I'm not sure that Toshiba even make microwave ovens any more. It is a fairly basic model, no grill or anything like that - I know you can get those, just wondered if they were worth the extra cost? There's such an array on offer now, so just wondered if anyone had one they rate and would recommend?
