*** Doesn’t always work in California LOL (because power outages, get it?). I’ve bought microwaves at salvation army when i was renting and moving, and if i saw this one for $30, i’d grab it. 1200 watts means it will heat quickly, s small budget microwaves that take 3 minutes to make hot cocoa.. salv army will sell small, large, weak, powerful, clean, grungy often for the same price. a minor drawback is the quick minute still requires pushing start. ******* If my price and location are not agreeable to you, don’t bother. I don’t want you unhappy because you think/feel you are overpaying, have the same courtesy for me, thank you. ******** ***I’m in Hacienda Heights off the 60 freeway near the 605 freeway, one minute from the Denny’s at 1150 South 7th Ave. I don’t meet there but it will allow you to check distance and plan route. ********
