One year and 25 days ago, I purchased a new Kenmore microwave at Sears.  (2 mistakes).   I LOVED it.  It is 2.1 cuft, and plenty of power, had all the features I wanted, and is quite easy to use.  It died last night.  Starts out fine, then after a few seconds, starts loosing power.

I won't buy Sears ever again.  Their service and customer service sucks!   "Sorry ma'am you are 25 days out of warranty".  Was his response, and he basically told me to go buy a cheap one at Walmart.  

Any reccomendations?  I don't really want to spend alot of money on a new unit....like $150ish. Other than Kenmore, what brands should I stay away from?
