Just thought I'd let you know that in the mid 1970's, I purchased an Amana Radarrange. Just before the 5-year was up, they replaced the "tube" of whatever. When we moved in 1986, we gave our daughter the microwave oven. This year, it finally gave up the ghost and she had to replace it. I think that says alot about the quality of the Amana microwave oven. It is now the 2021st year - you do the math!!!! I cooked many full meals in it after work for our family of four.
