We go through 5 or 6 cheap microwaves a year at work. Thats whats put me off buying a cheapy. I know they get a lot of use but I still thought they were dying rather too quickly. They always seem to breakdown at the worst possible times. During my lunch break.
Anyway the reason I paid so much for my microwave was when I stayed at a friends house for a week (looked after his dogs while he was OS) I fell in love with his microwave.

It has more features than a space shuttle but I really liked the sensor cooking. Hit start and the oven it self will work the rest out. And it did so perfectly every time. Also while it is an microwave oven it is also a convection oven. It will also roast. A whole chicken perfectly cooked with crispy skin and all under 15min. I thought it was well worth the money and have no regrets paying for it. My old microwave I took to work where some idiot tried to microwave a doughnut wrapped in aluminum foil in it. No prizes for guessing what happened next.
