Hello,

I need a small microwave to but on pantry closet shelf, maybe .7 or .8
cubic feet to use for defrost, popcorn and reheating of coffee etc.
I see some GE ones at Sams for 39$. Willing to paymore if need be
for maybe a better one. Thanks for any pointers.

Check the power ratings. You pay more for higher power and faster
reheating. Worth the extra $20 to you? At work we have a couple of GE for
$69 that are 1100 or 1200 watt. They are very fast and do a good job. OTOH,
I just bought a $42 700 watt while my wife is incapacitated for a few week.
It heats her lunch and coffee and takes a bit longer to make popcorn. Since
it will be rarely used after this I went for cheap, but it does the job.
In our kitchen we have a OTR convection/micro what was $500+. Different
situation, different values. There I could justify the higher cost.
