I had mines since November of 2003. It is by Sunbeam. It still works. We have moved about 4 or 5 times, since then. It has never broke. I hope it stays this way.

I can't remember when I got my microwave. Its been atleast 5 or 6 years. It came from Sears, so I know its a good brand that will last a few more years.

I just got rid of one microwave that was made in 1978 and it worked great until the end. The one I have now is about two years old and it's nice, but it was nowhere near as large as that old microwave. But, I think it uses a lot less power. I've always wondered about the health effects of having a microwave as old as that one, too, but I was never sick from it.

I got mine in 2000.Its a microwave with the grill.It was quite expensive when I got it way back.Now i find micrwave's are so cheap compared to what I got.I never cook in it.Its just used to heating and thawing food.I live in a cold place where I have to keep heating the food.I find it so useful i wonder how I would manage without it.
