| gsearle's Full Review: Montgomery Ward MW8997BEC/ MW8997WEC 900 Watts Mic... |
This microwave is nicely inexpensive, roomy, and powerful, but it won't last long. I had mine for only three years before the filament in the magnatron tube popped (like a light bulb) with a spectacular buzzing noise and the smell of vaporized metal. Prior to this one I had a low-end Kenmore microwave that lasted more than ten years before the magnatron reached the end of its normal life. I replaced this oven with a new Kenmore ($80 on sale). It's worth the little extra money.
