The office microwave needs replacement. I also need a microwave that does not interfere with my Wifi from AT&T router/modem. Suggestions?

We bought a Panasonic from Walmart. Was like $108.

Has worked really good for us.

Stay away from ge, I had two of them that each lasted about 18 months......whirlpool, sharp, Panasonic = should all be good.

All the cheap ones are the same.
As for the wifi it will interfere in the 2.4ghz band so just use 5.0ghz band for wifi if you have it.

My router/modem is AT&T Netgear 7550. How can I tell if it has 5.0ghz band? It was supplied by AT&T. I am not technically proficient. Thanks

i remember when companies rented microwaves they were so expensive

mom bought one of these, it was called a Radar range


some guy wants to sell his now for $5,000.00

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
LOL Did it catch any speeders?

I had one of those I bought around 1980. Amana Radarange. They were built like a tank and I believe in the US. Best microwave I have ever owned.
My wife made me get rid of it because she thought it was too old fashioned and the newer ones only last a few years at best.

The real question is how many references to politics should be in this thread.

We've had three Panasonic micorwaves. We got one as a wedding gift in 2009. Then, for some reason, we got a second about 5 years later but didn't open it. then my in-law's microwave died about a year ago (because they seem to always buy cheap shit) So we lent them the one that we had in storage. and they liked it so much they bought us another one to replace the one they borrowed so they could keep it. so we still have one in storage. but the one we're using is still the one we got as a wedding present.

I like it a lot.

Our Amana Radar range, bought new when the earth was young, is still working fine. At least 35 years old. Two other ones last a few years at most. The Radar Range still keeps on truckin'.

It's not worth spending much on the small units. Any of them from the box stores will do the job and likely last enough years to get your money's worth. As for the wifi interference I can't say one way or the other.

Ironically, our GE is 30+ years old and works like a champ. We just have to add 25% more than recommended times for cooking frozen stuff because of the lower wattage (800 watts).

so ? what did you git?

RADAR RANGE haha
Ordered the Panasonic on Amazon. Thanks for all the help.

We have a 20+ y/o Whirlpool and I have not noticed any interference in the house WRT the 2.4GHz or 5Ghz WiFi performance. If it is safe enough to stand next to it while it is operating it may not interfere with your WiFi performance.
