I forgot we had an argos lol!!!!! Not even visited it yet, it looks like I am headed for wick this weekend then. I hardly ever use my microwave except for heating my always forgotten coffee, I think they prefer tea???

I bought my mother a microwave in 1983 for £180 and it is still going strong though it needed a capacity renewal once in ~1990.
Go for the cheapest one with a stainless interior as the others I find rot from the inside out. I can't find one like my mother's anymore as it was probable too good and the company went out of business.:D

woolworths had some reasonable priced ones in the other week worth a try;)

I would say your best bet would be Woolworths or the Co-op. Quite often they have special prices on these. But if your luck is like mine you'll find they will get them in a week after you buy a dearer one.

We just got one from Dilusso kitchens for nowt! It is a Baumatic. Given that they have messed us about fitting a kitchen and caused no end of grief and
generated dozens of phone calls it's the least they could do.
Kitchen nightmares ain't in it. Still, all done now and it looks a treat.
