So yes, the lower-profile microwaves, I think, are worth it. Not only do they save space, but they also work really well. They are a little deeper, so take that into consideration. But counter space is a premium. So it’s so nice to get the micro over the stove when you can.

The best is prob the GE. At this point, none like that are of as high quality as the front load style ones. GE is probably the best for reliability in this type of machine like the GUD27ESSMWW

That’s really unfair and not right. First of all, shame on that big box for having crappy installers as they usually do. This is why I push smaller independent stores. Frigidaire has a 30-day cosmetic warranty, not 48 hours, so they’re wrong.

right from their website:
Cosmetic claims are only covered for the first 30 days of ownership.
A chip in the porcelain on the outside can be painted over with touch-up paint. If inside the oven, it will get worse over time. You need to call Home Depot or your credit card company to dispute it and protect yourself.

You can call in service to evaluate it and see of worth repairing or buying a new one.
