As we bid fond farewell to our old microwave, Paul and I decided to go ahead and purchase our new microwave now, so that when "Construction Central" starts, we would have something to cook with.
So armed with Consumer Report recommendations, we headed off to Sears to purchase the microwave we decided on. However, once we got there, we were seduced by the bigger shinier version of the microwave we originally decided on.
If it's bigger, it must be better - right? Wrong. We get home and Paul decided to check Consumer Reports on this model. Turns out it's the spawn of Satan and folks said in their reviews you might as well take a sledgehammer to it now.
Oops! So Paul takes it back and get the microwave we should have purchased in the first place. It comes home and won't pop a bag of popcorn nor heat a cup of water. Did we make a mistake?
The second microwave goes back and I am sure by now Sears thinks we are gutting the parts out of these and selling them on the black market. Third time must be the charm, right?
And it was - it works, and the best thing about it according to my 17 year old? Mom, it pops all the kernels in the microwave popcorn bag.
What better recommendation than that?
