Determine your budget:
Microwaves can cost anywhere from $35-$2,000 for a convection microwave oven. If you want a mid level microwave, then expect to spend about $100. However, I bought my mother in law her convection microwave (stainless steel) at Target for $100 on clearance. -

Determine the make:
According to Consumer-reports.org, GE leads the microwave revolution. Their microwaves range from $70-$1,400 for the high end microwave. However, Panasonic, LG and Kenmore are also reliable choices. Do you need a convection oven or a stainless steel finish? If so, these options will cost you more. -

Shop around:
Amazon.com offers excellent deals on microwave ovens. With free shipping, you can't go wrong. Also, I have ordered furniture and appliances from Overstock.com, and found that this company is top notch when it comes to delivery and product output. Liquidation sales are also great for major money saving deals. Shop around, read customer reviews, and hunt for the best deals at any one of the stores listed. If you do this, you will find the best microwave at the best price.

When I'm going to purchase a big ticket item; I check out Consumer Reports. Back issues can be found at the library. I can easily see which are the best brands and models. Saves me lots of work and money. "5" -

This is fantastic, my microwave has been dead for about 9 months and my dishwasher for 6. I was holding our for free ones from Freecycle. You've pointed me in the right direction. -
