So, the handle on my 28 year old microwave has been broken off the bottom part, and finally snapped all the way off this morning. Husband can't can't you use pliers to get it open? Um...it's 28 years old. Time to get a new one. Since I haven't looked at microwaves in ever, I could use some guidance. Has to be over the range because I don't have enough counter space to add another gadget. I'll probably buy one at Lowes and have them install it.
