Got it at Target for under $50. My requirements are that it be at least 1 cubic foot, 1000-1200 watts, have a handle to open the door (instead of a button), and a real key pad rather than pre-programmed buttons. I wasn't really looking for one, but this Daewoo had everything I wanted, looked good and was on sale so I bought it. I have no regrets about buying it. It works good, is easy to clean and does everything I need it to do.
