Contrarian advice: order the mighty Panasonic 1350W from Amazon, and they use their FedEx trucks to get it to your doorstep, for free. It only winds up with a small dent in the top, which you can probably bend back into shape.

I had actually considered that option, especially since items over $25 qualify for free supersaver shipping.

I had the nuker of my dreams in my shopping cart. Probably still is there, I'll have to be careful if I order some books.

But then I thought ... "What if it breaks and I have to return it? That will suck ass ..."

So I went with the "small enough to fit in the car" option.

Small microwaves defeat the purpose of the turntable, because whatever you put in (aside from a plate) will hit the edges and not turn. Packages of meat, pizza boxes, etc.

$50 microwaves don't have cool features like automatic popcorn and reheat settings. (yes, they really work in mine)

Do so! Mine does, anyway ... the popcorn pops to perfection. It also has a setting for beverage heating that is adaptable to the smaller teacup size and the larger mug size.

And single dish items placed on the turntable are able to make a complete spin.

They have cheaper ones too. I just liked that it was both cheap AND shiny.

Based on real-world prices I will drop my asking price for my Sharp with the best user interface I've ever seen to $30.
