    Have you a budget? A wish for particular features?

    Dont waste your money on buying one with a grill, you will try it once, find it doesnt cook like a conventional grill and never use it again.
    make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
    and we will never, ever return.

    Phillips are good and reliable.

    No problem can withstand the assault of sustained thought.
    Only after the last tree has been cut down. Only after the last fish has been caught. Only after the last river has been poisoned. Only then will you realize that money cannot be eaten.

    dont buy one too small, otherwise the minute you want to heat your meal you will have to squash it onto a smaller plate, and you will curse the day you bought it.

    my parents did that, they want mine (which is 7 years old and a cheap old asda special which was their old one lol)

    Perhaps we should buy our plates first then then pick a microwave they fit in.

    Definitely!

    Our dinner plates don't fit in either our microwave or our dishwasher. :eek:

    Well we already have the dishwasher! I will try and work out what size will fit in that before we buy the plates! Its a slimline too!
