Good microwave brand needed.

[toffeeapple]

Hi my microwave has just given up, it was only a cheap one from asda (about £30 I think) and the make was "Onn" (never heard of it before I think it's their own).
It's only lasted me a year so basically I'm looking for something that's going to last so I don't have to keep replacing it.
I'm looking for something basic, with Auto defrost preferably, but not too expensive.
What's the best reliable, good value for money microwave brand?

Which usually recommend panasonic but i don't know if they do cheap ones

I have had my sony microwave for about 10 years now and have had no problems with it. It has an auto defrost and some programs for cooking certain foods (one touch button and off it goes), half the things ive not used on it but its such a good microwave its been worth its money. Cant remember how much i paid for it but i think it was fairly reasonable.

I'd recommend Panasonic - especially if you can find a deal.
We've had ours for over 10 years and it's still fine. We recommended to BIL and MIL about 8 years ago - they both bought Panasonic and are still using theirs, so very long lasting.

Just had a look and Tesco Direct are doing Panasonics from about £65, so not as expensive as I thought.
