Buy A Microwave Oven
Now that you've read How to Buy A Microwave
Oven, and know what to look for when
purchasing a microwave oven, we present some microwave ovens for your
consideration. We've searched the Internet and found that Abt
Electronics has the largest online selection. Abt is one of the
nation's leading independent retailers of consumer electronics and
appliances. They provide friendly and knowledgeable customer service and
an incredible selection of top quality name brand merchandise at the
best available prices. Abt is an authorized online retailer for every
major brand.
The wonderful thing about Abt Electronics is that you receive Free
Shipping on items weighing under 50 pounds. The good news is that
quite a few of these microwaves fall into the free shipping category.
Add the fact that there is no sales tax (except in IL, MI, IN and WI),
and you have a win-win situation for purchasing your microwave oven
online.
Everybody's needs are different, so which microwave
oven is right for you depends on how
much and how fast you want to cook. Presented here is the wide selection
of microwaves offered at Abt Electronics. I recall the very first
microwave oven my mother purchased which started the whole journey of
learning to use it which ultimately resulted in Microwave Cooking for
One. That first oven cost over $800. A comparable oven today costs
less than $100. My research shows that on the whole microwave ovens
(except some of the smaller compact models) are very good or excellent
in quality. So it isn't really a question of which brand is better than
another, as much as which features suit your needs, lifestyle and
pocketbook. I have done my best to find out all the basic information
about each model, but there are some that I simply couldn't find out for
sure if it has a turntable or what size it is.
All of these microwaves have the three most
important features you should look for when buying a microwave oven as
discussed in How to Buy a Microwave Oven:
(1) at least 700-watts, (2) a touch-panel control, and (3) at least
three power levels. Under-the-cabinet and
over-the-range models are listed; however, remember that unless space is an issue
for you, the most convenient to use are the counter top models where you
can safely leave the dish in the oven, add ingredients, stir and rearrange the food.
Many of these ovens come in a choice of colors, which is determined by the last two characters of
the model number BK=Black, WH=White, BT=Bisque (Almond), SS=Stainless Steel,
BC=Brushed Chrome, SIL=Silver Metallic.
Reminder:
If you decide to purchase an oven that is more than 700-watts, be sure
to go to the Conversion Chart area of
this site and print out the conversion chart for your new microwave
oven.

thousand external links throughout the pages of this site. To make
navigating simpler for you, we have set up the links so that when you
click on the first one, a new browser window will open. When you click
on another link, the link will appear in the same window replacing the
information of the first link (except eBay auctions, which open a new
window with each item clicked on). This way, as you navigate through this

links to other pages within this site will open in the current window.
If a window does not open when you click on a link, check to see if you
are running a pop-up blocker, which you may need to turn off in order
for the new browser windows to open.
Except when you order Microwave
Cooking for One by mail, we do not actually sell items
directly from this site. Instead, we have done all the work to find the
microwave information you are looking for on the Internet, and
consolidated it here at this site. When you click on a link for a
product, you will be taken to the site that actually offers the product
for sale. In some instances, we earn a small commission from the site
you visit. This is how we are compensated for the work we have done to
