Microwave/convection replacement

We are looking to update the original micro/convection in our 345. We bought one and it wouldn’t power fully for some reason. Any suggestions on makes/models that y’all have successfully used?

Mine was an older Sharpe that did not work when I bough the AS. It was plugged into a single 110v outlet inside the compartment. Found a nice LG stainless unit at Home Depot which fit nicely but I had to modify the hanger assembly. The whole cabinet frame was aluminum so it was easy to put new screws into it where needed. Everything works great, including the exterior duct but it does have more of a slight pitch which makes the door swing out wide and fast each time.

Seems like I paid about $400 at Home Depot. Btw....the install can go much faster with 2 people vs 1. Hard to hold it in place with your knee and screw in supports from the top at same time.

My vintage Sharp, convection unit still works, but the knobs are toast, so it will be replaced when I get to that stage.

I saw a bunch of nice looking SS Microwaves at Walmart Yesterday.

Not measured mine, nor do I know if any of them are "OK" on Genset power, but this one caught my eye...
