Old loaner microwave
New GE microwave
The one they lent to us was old, dirty, and pretty small. We used it a few times and made a few bags on popcorn in it. It left several more kernels un-popped than the microwave at our old apartment, which was annoying. So, I decided to buy our own and we went looking a few weeks ago.
We found one at Best Buy that we really liked and got good reviews, but they only had a black version in the store. I wanted white so it would match the rest of our appliances. So we had to order it special delivery online. I ordered it Feb 26th and it arrived this last Wednesday. I had to meet the delivery guy at the apartment, which was a little annoying, but I'm glad we have a new microwave now. We popped our first bag of popcorn in it the night we got it and it turned out great.

I'm a little confused about the entire first part of the story.
"We asked if we could install our own above the microwave"
You asked if you could install your microwave above the microwave?
"the manager said it would be a lot of work"
So originally they expected you to live there without a microwave?
Sorry that was a typo. I meant to say "We asked if we could install our own above the stove."
I guess they assumed we'd have our own microwave to bring with us, I dunno. I can't imagine how someone would live without one.
But if they assumed you would bring your own, why did they tell you it would be too difficult to install your own and then offer to loan you one?
Some people may bring their own countertop microwaves, rather than one that would be installed over the stove. I'm not sure how many loaner microwaves they have or if most people have their own, borrow the loaner, or don't have one at all.
