Shopping Guide: Questions to consider before buying your new microwave

Before you buy your next microwave, be sure to gather the following information to find the right one for you and your family.

Basic questions to ask yourself before buying:

• What kind of microwave do you currently own?
• If you are interested in an over-the-range microwave, do you need your microwave oven to vent cooktop steam, heat and odors outside? GE offers both vented and non-vented over-the-range microwaves.
• Do you ever wish you had a second oven? If additional oven space sounds appealing to you, you might want to consider a convection oven or Advantium oven, available in both built-in wall oven and over-the-range models. Advantium ovens use light to cook foods up to eight times faster than traditional ovens, plus can still function as a basic microwave.
