Thanks blueice. I have already examined that one unfortunately. It certainly is the right size and price, but the quality is questionable. Despite having a Japanese name, it is certainly a Chinese ODM product. I figure if ultimately I will end up with Chinese designed magnetrons, I might as well buy directly from the source (Galanz, Midea or Haier). At least this way I can get a warranty and service.
So it looks like I'll be settling for a 23L Galanz. While I certainly can get a larger model, the quality I am looking for just doesn't exist anymore, as the big three control the entire world market. I read enough consumer reports in the last few days to come to the conclusion that even American badged microwaves are shit. For those of you who have never owned a good microwave oven from the 80s you probably wouldn't understand.
I know it's convenient, but cooking with microwave has been proven to be unhealthy.
I bought a mid-range Midea in metal/black 4 years ago. It's still working perfectly and I've never had any issues with it. Nah, it can't grill (or broil or whatever you yanks call it) but as a standard, no-fuzz microwave I really have nothing to complain about at that price. Brother recommends.
I need to find the "Talking" Microwave, "Putonghua" of course..
I saw and used one once in 2006 and would like to buy one, new or used and send it to Canada....what a hoot!!! Totally useless and annoying!!
Anyone see this or know the model??
Ha, that sounds pretty interesting. I'm surprised the Japanese didn't invent it first. They have talking toilets afterall.
Unfortunately even if you could find one it wouldn't be usable in Canada because of the voltage difference. You'd need one hell of a big transformer if you wanted to build a converter.
?
No problem for voltage, every house in North America has 220 V, common appliances which use 220V are the typical electric stove, baseboard heaters, hot water heaters, some air conditioners and clothes dryers.
The microwave would only need the male plug changed to a 220V specific matching outlet, all under electric codes.
So seriously I'm looking for a talking microwave!!!
You should double check to make sure 50Hz microwaves will work okay on 60Hz lines.
