Home Depot microwave oven

I really didn't need a microwave. But I noticed a giant pallet of .7 cu ft microwaves at my local HD. I recalled reading a .7 Magic Chef microwave was optional on my TC and there is already a receptacle in the cabinet. So I figured for $40 I'd take a chance. Obviously the cabinet was made for this microwave. It's a perfect fit. :C

The install took me all of a minute. If anyone is in need of a microwave for their TC, you might want to check your local HD.

    Looks good. And I'm sure you saved a few bucks over buying it from the dealer as an option.

    Yeah, it's secured. The legs drop in the cabinet and I slid a piece of foam insulation board tightly on top. It's not going anywhere.


    Will that insulation cause a heat issue? No air circulation around the m/wave.


    I don't think so. Theres no ventS on the top. And it's not like I'm cooking a turkey in it.

    Sounds like a good deal, congrats! We don't use ours a lot, but it's good to have when we need it.

    This.

    You DID secure it, right? If you didn't, it's going to end up bungee jumping from the electrical cord.

    Microwave and inverter that can power it is great in RVing.
    Cosmetically I thing SS would look better, but I am just teasing you ;)
    How did you secure it in 1 minute?
