LG Microwave Oven Model LRM 2060
My husband and I just recently purchased this microwave oven, within the past several months. The retail price by the manufacturer is $169 dollars but we paid about $150 dollars at Wal-Mart. Our older microwave wasn't big enough for many of the cookware that I now use and we needed to upgrade.
