honestly i think any microwave you buy will work fine. ive had a lot of microwaves just from moving to new places and shit. some we've bought for cheap some have been given to us...never broke down...all worked fine. my parents have had the same microwave since i could remember. couldnt tell you the brand of any of them though. but yeah, drop $50-100 on a GE brand mic or something and i think you'll be good
