Our microwave has finally stopped working. It looks like it has rusted through at a couple of points in the roof which is probably what's done it. A cast iron crepe pan was put on top of it as well, so having a big magnetic thing on top probably didn't help.

I'm hoping as long as I don't buy the cheapest microwave as a replacement it should be fine.

I'm really happy with my little $50 bigW one.

I figure most will just work. I got about 10 years out of the last one so I'm hoping to do the same again

Be very wary of faulty microwaves. Any gaps will cook the user.
