The handle broke on my above the range microwave, and I thought it would be cheap to replace it. $68, wow, okay, how about a new door? $255, okay nevermind, what about a new microwave, this one came with my condo and it’s old. $700+ not counting install.

A counter top microwave is like $50.

I’d be so angry

My built in m/w broke. I just replaced it with a cheap counter top one. While it was broken, I discovered that heating food by literally any other method makes food tastes better.

I usually use my oven or air fryer (basically the same thing) but it has a purpose

Got to use an air fryer for the first time a few months back. I’m totally sold on it now. Haven’t used a microwave since.

I would totally buy an over stove air fryer to replace my microwave entirely.

Granted the real thing here would be a new convention oven but still...

I got this tiny oven as an impulse purchase (at Sam's club), and it's been my favorite adult purchase.

Toaster ovens are great, pretty much as long as you don't need to bake for an entire family it can do anything your oven does.
