Re: MicrowaveMine is a Kenmore. It doesn't say any model or anything on it. It is a 1.5 cubic foot capacity. I specifically looked for a larger model because at the time I wasn't in PC and didn't have a DCB, but I wanted something large enough to put a dinner plate into. It happened that this one was on sale at the time (2½ years ago) for $100. This one is similar to mine and has the same pricetag

I would suggest that you get at least a 1.2 cubic foot capacity, but like my 1.5
