Thanks a great deal to all those netters who responded to my request for information about microwave ovens. After much research and shopping, I have decided to get an Amana Touchmatic Radarange. The warrantee on the megatron tube is the best of all models that I looked at: 10 years and you don't have to disassemble the whole cabinet to change the light bulb. The inside is stainless steel (easy to clean) and it is a real basic oven. I don't plan on doing major feats of culinary (sp.) arts so this model is good. It is the RR810 model. For cooking food evenly, I plan on purchasing an inexpensive Carousel to turn the bowls or whatever I am cooking. This oven also has a probe and is digital with stop, start, and light buttons. The inside is 1.1 cubic feet My only other recommendation is to shop around for the best price. I saw the same model at a major department store for ~$180 more. I would suggest a store that deals mostly in appliances, TVs, etc., to get the best price. In Chicagoland, it's Polk Bros. Check in a larger metropolitan area newspaper if you're not in Chicago area. Thanks again to all of those people who responded. Katie
