What's the best microwave oven???

Best bank for the buck. Mid-size, not for a 20# turkey.
I bought a new one a year ago, wife tried heating tortilla chips and it burned cabinet at magnetron. The turntable bottom area is rusty also. It works but needs replacement.
Best would be a simple knob type but looks like they're all digital.
Experience with a good one is appreciated.

Had a regular Panasonic, lasted 2 years. 1.7 cubic foot Sharp now on 5th year. before that Samsung that lasted 12 years. Will say current Sharp the best one we ever had.

I just bought a Hamilton Beach unit a month ago. 1000W output, digital. Haven't figured out all the functions yet but works fine so far. It has a child safety lock for the control panel and locks the door. We don't have any youngsters here so prefer not to have it.

Now THAT I'll look in to. My genius (!) wife told me today she would open the door checking on food as it was cooking. Of course the door safety switches would shut it of but I told her NEVER do that!
Maybe I'll just order a cast iron cauldron for the fireplace!

You can open the door to check on the food but you have to go through a procedure of pushing certain numbers to release the lock
