Top Microwaves Under $200

There is nothing worse than having your appliances fail you. Well, maybe I am wrong. Perhaps having to go shopping to replace your failing appliances is actually worse than them going out! I recently ran into this problem when the last ray of heat faded from my aging microwave unit. I sadly discarded the microwave that had given me a good seven years of its existence and tried to focus on the new problem at hand: finding a reliable replacement.

Upon arriving at the store of my choice, I found an entire aisle dedicated to the sale of microwaves. Which one to choose? Truth be told, there are so many wonderful models on the market today, that this simple task turned into a shaky and uncomfortable decision making process. After reviewing many, if not all, models and exhausting my salesperson’s patience, I finally succumbed to a GE brand countertop microwave unit, model JES1384SF.

This microwave really caught my eye with its sleek design and stainless steel exterior. It looks so modern and new in comparison to my older unit. The GE microwave has a 1.3 cubic feet capacity, which is a great size for all kinds of microwave needs. It is powered with 1100 watts. Some of the best features of this unit include the standard timer with a reminder that will let you know when the heating process is complete. This timer is optional, you can turn it on/off with a touch of a button. There is a removable oven rack, which allows you to heat or cook more than one plate or container of food at one time.
