We bought a GE seven years ago and it's going strong. A fan broke after
a couple of years. We had it replaced and so far . . . so good.

And, as Sue said: "Knock on wood" because I wouldn't want to go through
the arduous task of replacing it.

Nothing lasts anymore. We had to replace our stove a couple years ago
and it was told to us by more than one dealer: 7 years life expectancy.
We know that we will have to replace our refrigerator soon. 17 years
and counting. It's an Amana, but we looked at new Amanas and they are
*not* the same high quality.

Sorry to follow my own post, but I forgot to say:

"Knock on wood!"

I rather suspect so. We have a large Kenmore counter top microwave that
I bought at least 25 years ago for about $100. And even then I bought
it at the Sears distribution centre where it had been returned because
of a bad door latch (which they fixed). I love it because it takes my
large Corning casserole dish. The only drawback is that it is large.

We bought a smaller one for my DFIL, and when he passed away it came
back to us. It lasted only about five years, while the original one is
still going strong.

I know we are supposed to be replacing out energy inefficient appliances
with more efficient models. I can't see how it saves energy to replace
your appliances every 5-7 years when you factor in the cost of
manufacturing, transportation and disposal.

That's funny. This is actually the first micro I've had that we do use the
button - and seriously, it works perfectly with the brand we use - th
"light" variety from Costco - whatever that is.
