I got a Panasonic from Costco ten years ago and the only complaint I have is the push button is so stiff that I end up pushing the microwave backwards everytime I open it. Other than that, it cooks properly, no annoying beeps and easy to use.
@@DogdaPebba who warms up food for over six minutes? I never defrost in the micro or warm up anything that takes that long two-three minutes tops if it’s taking longer it’s going in the oven.
Yes! My $1500 built-in Bosch had many issues, and Bosch didn't back their product. First I just needed a spring on the door, but you can't even get your hands on the part, AND if you could, it's nearly impossible to replace without royally screwing up the whole door. Oh, and it didn't even have sensor cook. Then the magnetron went out, twice. I've never had this with a $200 microwave. No more Bosch for me.
95% of the microwave ovens sold are manufactured by MIDEA. Even the big boys like Panasonic, Samsung and LG have opted to outsource the majority of their products to MIDEA. With Panasonic still manufacturing their top premium models themselves. So no matter who you choose, you’ll still be getting a MIDEA. If you’re out of luck (and out of money) it will be a Galanz which is another major Chinese manufacturer of low quality microwave ovens.
The only brand of microwave still even made in the US is Amana Commercial. The heavy duty kind you'll find in a 7-11, but a normal power regular plug model exists. And for that matter any commercial grade will last significantly better. Or more cheaply, find yourself a seldom used 80's model used, back then they cost the equivalent of four digits instead of spending four digits.
The worst ones to buy are the ones that are part of a built in oven-microwave combination. The only reason I bought another one was the new GE fit in the same hole that the old broken GE (which required an expensive repair, when it was relatively new) was in. I finally found one that was on sale for under $2500, instead of the near $4000 that it had been, which was when I stopped thinking about redoing kitchen cabinets to accommodate separate non-built ins. In the meantime, I used a $99 Panasonic counter top microwave, which has functioned flawlessly for several years. I'd also avoid the ones that mount to the underside of the cabinet above the cook top, that also contain the exhaust fan. They are also ridiculously expensive and inconvenient to remove and install. I would much rather see kitchen cabinets set up to accommodate a free standing microwave that can be replaced cheaply and with ease. You can get an incredible counter top microwave for less than $300 and, as I pointed out, one that's more than adequate for around $100. I can't say with any certainty whether it matters which brand you buy.
I dont like having an over range microwave, but i needed to keep my countertops clutter free of appliances , i already have coffee maker and toaster oven. Are ther microwaves with button on handle so it doesn't need to be slammed /pushed shut? My boys make noise when they use it late at night😂
Microwaves have to be tightly sealed in tightly and usually have a strong latch to do that. That said, look at Panasonic NN-SN686S Countertop Microwave Oven, Magic Chef MCM1611ST, and for over the range: GE PVM9005SJSS Microwave Oven.
We had a fast food business that was very busy, and if i had an award to give to the best long-lasting microwave without breakdowns, it would go to SANYO EM 1203S . 12 years of use ,heating 60 to 70 food intemens every day . The only reason it got damaged was that a new worker left it on full for an hour and melted the inside.
I have a Panasonic Inverter Type Microwave and since it actually changes power rather than just going off and on full blast - it Defrosts wonderfully which is something I use all the time.
Please tell me...Microwave ovens with "air fryer" feature...Do the get messy from cooking say chicken wings or steaks...how messy does the oven get and how difficult to clean the oven? Thank you very much!!!
This is actually my major concern with them. I find that the ones with Ovens built in end up covered in splattered food after a while and tend not to last well due to the extreme heat. The worst thing is the grills - they are hard to clean behind. I believe that easy cleanability is really important in a Microwave, and you basically can't clean behind the grill.
Warning: LG Microwave (LMC2075) failed on me yesterday. A M/W never failed before in my life. This $350 LG unit has a 10yr magnetron warranty but the they don't cover labor. So $200 labor out of pocket to replace a magnetron under warranty! Let me know how that makes sense
"try to reach in when you're short, like 5'4" " 3:57 lmao I'm not even 5 feet tall. I guess I wouldn't even be able to reach any part of the microwave 😂😂
I live in a concrete home, I have an exhaust fan over my gas stove now. I want to replace the fan with a microwave. How do I tell if the exhaust fan is vented to the outside? If it isn't and I buy a microwave that is vented to the inside what are the pros and cons of the? I enjoy your video's they are full of good information
There should be a vent on the outside wall of the house at the expected location. You can buy a unit with a recirculating fan that uses a filter. It won't be as good as a unit with outside exhaust, but it still helps a lot. Plus, it has a light to illuminate the stove top. You can clean filters by soaking them in hot water and dish soap.
Thank you for the updated information on microwaves! I may need to get a new one as it's from 2009 and I was told that Maytag or one other brand is the ones that I should choose from!
What about multi function microwaves such as convection and air fryer built into the microwave? I’m considering getting the Black & Decker that has all these options in one
we have a whirlpool counter top unit that still works but the keypad is failing and time to replace. we're seniors and want a simple micro with just knobs and not a keypad and extra functions we don't need. we would also like about 1.0 cubic ft. of volume and about 1k watts and we are on a budget. can you recommend one? thnx.
There are no more quality products. I just got done reading a review on the Breville 3 in one. His and his mothers and replacements lasted about 6 to 9 months. That's 500 each down the drain. And that review was 4 years old. Don't know if I want to take the chance. A shame. It looked so user-friendly.
NEVER buy an over the stove microwave! Had 3, and they all failed! The problem with them? Moisture, from cooking and baking, makes its way into the electronics, and kills them. After the first one died, I was told to make sure and run the exhaust fan while cooking. I did, and soon after, it failed again! The third, I got with my new house, it was brand new, and lasted 6 months! From then on, the microwaves stay on the counter. In fact, the microwave I replaced the failed hood unit, lasted 20 years! That's why I stumbled across this video, researching a new one.
You are not kidding. We just replaced our built in kitchenaid microwave that was 25 years old and failing. Our only option was another kitchenaid unit and we had to adapt the old trim kit because the new one sat the unit at a completely different height (???why ???). Luckily the new 120v units have a convection /grilling feature built in as well, which is what we wanted in the replacement. We also got a side-swing door unit because , as you said, swing down doors are silly.
A quality over the range would be our pick. A quality countertop microwave works too (don't get the small, cheap ones), but for many people that counter space is too valuable to cover up. Thanks for watching!
With Bosch combo units you don’t have to replace the oven and microwave if one of them fails. You can purchase either separately and connect it to the other.
Not entirely: cheap ones offer much more value than expensive ones. He lies about cheap ones breaking down and often having to buy a new one. Expensive ones have more features and are destined to break down much quicker.
I bought a Kenwood microwave K20MW21 14 months ago .. on sale from £160 .. £80 .. I thought it was a good deal .. last week noticed the paint peeling .. I dry it out with a microfiber cloth every time its been used. Never will I buy a Kenwood again.
What about a microwave oven combo that isn't built in? Like 1 unit that can microwave or bake or cook chicken etc, are these good? Or are they a scam? They look like a normal microwave to me, but do they have a built in heating things? (That the oven has)
The Breville, or Sage as its called in Europe is a fantastic piece to own. However, do be aware that they are a bit hit and miss with quality. I only had mine out of the box and the door wouldn't close properly. My friend was using hers for the first time and the power went completely. After checking socket and fuse she could see no issues. During the call to the store it suddenly came back to life. She still returned it. You must also ensure that there's at least 20cm of space around it, back, front, top and bottom for airflow . Otherwise it will die.
I'd get something with a stainless INTERIOR or something cheap. The Pansonic commercial microwaves are the best if you want to spend the cost of 4 microwaves up front to own one that will last as long as 4+ cheap microwaves.
samsung over the range microwave here. smoked,burned bought new 3 years ago. been talking with customer service since before Christmas of 2024, still no reply from them. kept saying I would get a reply 24 t0 48 hours😢. imagine gone kaput in just 3 years
I've never witnessed a microwave break from anything unless it came out of the box broken. Our new house had one that came broken over the range, meanwhile the one I have in my room has been going strong for like 7~8 years through multiple moves, storage in the AZ summer and used all the time. The one I have is a Hamilton Beach and I got it used so it might even be closer to 10 years old, maybe they just don't make 'em like they used to? I've only seen our new one fail. My Great Aunt even has a combo unit microwave built into the wall from 1985 that still works. It's so old the air that cools it vents outside like a dryer, Lol.
$50 VS $300+, CLASS REPEAT AFTER ME - 99% OF PEOPLE US IT FOR ONE AND ONLY ONE THING to heat or reheat food. So why would I stupidity spend $300+ on one.
Great advice. Not only is it inconvenient, but it can be dangerous to position a microwave so that you have to reach up to use it-especially if you are short. Hot liquids/foods can fall on you.
Don't buy a microwave oven that turns on when you push up on the bottom of the door. A few years ago, I decided to move my new oven a little farther back on the counter top. I put one hand under the door's edge and pushed up. The oven started running! I tried four other brands before I found one that didn't do that. (The light and the fan ran, but the magnetron did not.)
Typically all that means is that the door hinge has more vertical free movement than expected, which can be the result of flimsy construction, but can also just be manufacturing tolerances and easily corrected. The effect you saw is how it should work. It indicates that the first interlock switch is doing what it should do and quickly detecting the commencement of door motion, shutting off the magnetron. The interlock switches are just in an interim state in which the fan and turntable operate but the magnetron does not, normally when the door opens this state only exists for a tiny fraction of a second so nobody notices it.
Built- in over here in Europe is not an issue. The space in the cabinet is of standard sizes. You buy a standard microwave with its buiding in kit. If you want to change toma different microwave, you just buy the building in kit designed for the new microwave. I get your point about one of if the ovens in a double oven having a microwave, being potentially problematic, however, I wouldn't even consider a double oven and stack two single ovens so that I can chose what size each is and what functions they have, rather than be lumbered with the choices they make for me.
Thank you for typing that. After listening to this I was ready to run back to the kitchen designers thinking 8 made an error. So they are all universal sizes 60 x 60 in Europe?
@@Amp1771 Yes, housing units are 60cm x 60cm, although we always list them in mm (600 X 600) for some reason. The heights vary from just sticking above the worktop to raise an oven a little, to so high that even someone over six foot needs a step to reach the top shelf! Depending on the unit manufacturer, there will be various options to fill the space not occupied by the appliance, be it door for cupboards or drawers. Sometimes there will even be a special very shallow drawer rather than having to use a blanking panel.
I understand the Vikings and the expensive ones yeah repair them but nobody is waiting on the manufacturer to send the another $50-$200 microwave, why cause I’m just gonna go buy it myself. Planned obsolescence is a thing with everything, the only thing that changes with your super expensive appliances is that you hope they don’t discontinue the parts that go along with them cause then your out a subzero fridge or Viking oven in 10 years
Usually the modern LG units give you the option to customize different tones if they are smart wifi enabled. You can download the owner's manual from the LG website to see if it is an option.
I have a Frigidaire microwave and I can go into the settings and turn off the beep so you don't have that Annoying beep. By the way, it's the worst microwave I've ever bought.

Which microwave has an illuminated keypad so I can see it in the dark as in like the number keypad all the options to the top defrost pizza is that or at least like a button you can push to turn it on off I mean, there’s no way like Google like, can you give me an answer?

This guy gives wrong information and just wants you to buy an expensive item. More features = more chances of defects Buy a relatively cheap and simple one. It won't die on you.
I can go find the answer to this. I’m just frustrated because I don’t understand why Facebook and Google and Google Chrome and Google Assistant Google Assistant answering me saying it was nice chatting with you when I ask about a microwave. All these systems are fucked up all this shit is fucked. There’s too many bugs in all this fucking garbage all this shit used to work better like 10 years ago and now it works like even worse they added too many options. They’ve made it way too confusing iOS the iPhone, I mean, like all the things they’ve added my keyboard, barely works when I’m typing on it because they’ve added like the intervals of this or that and you update, you know the operating systemand it like fucks all your shit up. Everything gets fucked up so fucking thing is fucked up man if Steve was alive today this shit wouldn’t fly bro.

I understand the Vikings and the expensive ones yeah repair them but nobody is waiting on the manufacturer to send the another $50-$200 microwave, why cause I’m just gonna go buy it myself. Planned obsolescence is a thing with everything, the only thing that changes with your super expensive appliances is that you hope they don’t discontinue the parts that go along with them cause then your out a subzero fridge or Viking oven in 10 years
do all modern LG's sing a song like that?? i'm looking at MVEF1337F
Usually the modern LG units give you the option to customize different tones if they are smart wifi enabled. You can download the owner's manual from the LG website to see if it is an option.
The short answer is “Yes” 😂 and also their washing machines sing till you are fed up and get up to shut it up 🤣🤣🤣
I rather buy a cheap microwaves. Microwaves usually don't fail. I rather throw it away if it fails than get through the hassle of fixing it
Good info. Thank you so much.
wrong and misguiding advise in the video.
Most hotel room has a basic cheapest models and despite of rough use keep running far long
I have a Frigidaire microwave and I can go into the settings and turn off the beep so you don't have that Annoying beep. By the way, it's the worst microwave I've ever bought.
My 30 dollar microwave isn’t failing it just has bugs in it
bugs are good protein and all we eat here in kenya
I bought a cookswork microwave 20 years ago for 45 quid .
Still works perfect but is now discoloured thats the onky issue .
Your logic is pointless based on guesswork
i do not need a buzzer at all if i can not remember 2 mins or so i need a nurse lol
So true! Thank you
Any microwave
Which microwave has an illuminated keypad so I can see it in the dark as in like the number keypad all the options to the top defrost pizza is that or at least like a button you can push to turn it on off I mean, there’s no way like Google like, can you give me an answer? Nobody can see Billy give me an answerme seems to be on like crack. Google Assistant is talking about random shit. I asked the question I mean, like what what has this?
Now I have to go delete all the duplicates
The best video ever! Thank you!
Thanks for watching!
Lol millions of people buy microwave from Walmart and it works just fine. And last for years.
This guy gives wrong information and just wants you to buy an expensive item. More features = more chances of defects
Buy a relatively cheap and simple one. It won't die on you.
Super!
I can go find the answer to this. I’m just frustrated because I don’t understand why Facebook and Google and Google Chrome and Google Assistant Google Assistant answering me saying it was nice chatting with you when I ask about a microwave. All these systems are fucked up all this shit is fucked. There’s too many bugs in all this fucking garbage all this shit used to work better like 10 years ago and now it works like even worse they added too many options. They’ve made it way too confusing iOS the iPhone, I mean, like all the things they’ve added my keyboard, barely works when I’m typing on it because they’ve added like the intervals of this or that and you update, you know the operating systemand it like fucks all your shit up. Everything gets fucked up so fucking thing is fucked up man if Steve was alive today this shit wouldn’t fly bro.
Microwaves...GE appliances ❤...
Hilarious!
