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.

It is a very good cookbook and I have yet to find a recipe that didn't turn out as it was supposed to.—Norm Peterson, Arizona |
