Recently both my toaster and my coffee machine gave up the ghost. Yesterday I couldn't get the light on the over-the-range microwave to turn off. I casually mentioned that I expected the microwave to give problems soon. Well, it must have heard me, because not twenty minutes later it started beeping and turning on and off all by itself. What? We did an emergency microwave removal, and it sits now, in pieces, very sadly all over the kitchen counter tops. Hubby is sure he can order a new controller and get it up and running again. Sure he can....right after he fixes the truck that was twisted in our roll over accident.......over a year ago. Um......I don't know about you guys, but I use my microwave every dang day. I can't wait for a part to arrive and then for him to try to remember how to put it back together. Sigh. Not to mention that I would love to have some countertop to work on. Oh well, these are the things that make life interesting.
I did do a little research and while the model I had isn't around anymore, I can get something similar for about $200. Of course, it is possible to spend a ton more, but all it has to do is reheat things and melt butter. OK, so probably popping some popcorn might be a good thing, also. And it needs to have a light because otherwise I can't see the cooktop. And a vent would be nice as the kitchen doesn't have one. Oops, here I am adding more options. We'll see what happens. (keep your fingers crossed that we'll go out today and get a new one)
