I have a large 1000W (might be more, I forget) GE over-the-stove with
exhaust fan - fairly new - with a turntable that I can turn on or
off. I don't have any limit on the size or style of cookware I use,
plus I can even do two levels of cooking if I want. But I don't
generally actually cook anything in it, I just use it for heating
stuff up, melting butter or chocolate, etc. I can set the power
level, defrost, do popcorn, whatever - no problems at all and the fan
has 3 speeds and there's a light. The filter is easily removable and
I can stick it in the dishwasher. I don't see why people get so het
up over microwaves.
