Doesn't ANY store on the farkin' planet keep anything in stock anymore? If I wanted to wait until June, I'd build one myself.

Fucking idjits.

2. Well, it's a remarkably sucky plan.
He should know better. Do not deprive a person of their kitchen appliances. It doesn't and will not end well.

5. Yes. I need an over the range one and I want the Electrolux
because the reviews are incredible and their quality is as well.

Plus, it will make me feel like Kelly Ripa and that is a bonus.

4. Lowes.
Or Home Depot, but the HD here is junky and the Lowes is kinda nice, so I'd go there first.

It has to be ordered.

26. No. I went to compare models and then decided on the one I wanted
while I was there. Silly me to think that they might have one in the store to sell.

29. That's what I did last year.
I got a real cheap one, about $199 because I was sick of paying for appliances and having them break.

Less than a year later, it's dead.

The only reason I'm even considering the Electrolux is because the customer reviews are so over the top. As in good. I figure with any luck, this will be my last one. :rofl:

16. WE got a really nice microwave at Target, Pol Pot
Edited on Fri May-15-09 02:24 PM by LostinVA
There's a really big one over at Short Pump, as you well know.

Also try the Lowe's over there. They sell alot of appliances now.

18. Obviously, you did not read the thread, Freeper
Target and Lowe's do not have what she wants either. She's a picky one.

35. Bought a microwave (after our fire)and am very happy with it.

one.

39. I bought a new one the other day. It's red.
Edited on Fri May-15-09 09:35 PM by The Velveteen Ocelot
And it actually cooks stuff all the way through. I was really tired of frozen dinners that were still frozen in the middle after being cooked for like 10 minutes. I'm very happy now, especially now that I have a red microwave to match my red toaster.

If you are willing to settle for a red microwave, I know where you can get one..
