We bought this a year ago after our microwave's built-in turntable system quit, despite several negative reviews. Even from day 1, this thing spun way too slowly and seemed way too high maintenance. Worried about someone over-winding it, and just not that impressed with it, I considered returning it but didn't because we needed SOMETHING. Several months ago, my oldest moved out and I gave him the microwave (and this turntable). He says the spinning speed got even slower over time, and then the feature that senses weight stopped working last month. In other words, when he takes the plate or bowl off the turntable it keeps spinning. No way to stop it spinning except let it run itself to the end of that winding. Now, he says it doesn't work at all.

I just logged on hoping to find something different or better, but this still seems to be the only option here. I'd almost rather replace the microwave than spend another $30 on this.
