How old is your microwave oven?

This is mine. It's very simple to use and now I'm on my own it's really handy to heat things or bake a single potato

Mine is 5 months old. It broke and I wish I hadn't panicked and bought an all singing, all dancing one and kept the 20 year old one for cooking peas.

I bought my Sharp microwave in 1984 loved it at first but then not so much just used it for defrosting and heating up beans etc. it finally gave up 23 years later. We bought another Sharp but when we moved house, there was nowhere to put it, so gave it away.
Haven’t had one since, and not missed it either.

Mines not very old. I bought it on Gumtree . It had belonged to a young man who had died of kidney failure and the money went to Kidney research.

About 3 years old not a fan of them myself but DH likes them.

Seven years old. We bought a new one when we moved. The previous enormous one was 19. Months

One day old. I've treated myself to a Microwave + Àir Fryer combo.

So far I've set the clock.....🌼

Er, now that you've set the clock... could you just cook a few things and report back!

It's a Panasonic

Ancient! I’ve had mine since 1999 and my dad had it for 9 years before me.

Mine is about 9 years old but doesn't say anything.

We’ve got a Panasonic, it has to be close to 25 yrs old. When it’s finished its instruction, it says ‘enjoy your meal’. Our daughter always said we must have a flash one, as hers just says ‘done’!

Brand new in fully refurbished kitchen and I'm trying very hard to understand the instruction sheet!

We bought a microwave/grill when the kitchen was refurbished, so early 2021.

14 years. Built-in Panasonic microwave - heavily used. Still going strong but looks a bit ‘mottled’ inside - I think that’s how it always was, or was it ? It’s strange how we just use these things and never notice the details

*mes is a weird interjection from my keyboard.....

It's a Samsung.

I googled microwave/air fryer combo, because I didn't believe it could exist. Seems like it does!

Other models are available - tho not that many yet, it 's mes a New Thing. 🌼

Well over 30 years - it’s a built in combi - oven and microwave together - it does 2 big jacket potatoes with crispy skins in 14 minutes.
I dread it packing up - as far as I can tell, new ones are a lot bigger - and a lot more complicated!* and wouldn’t fit in the unit - and I don’t have space elsewhere.
*mine has only 2 functions - cook and defrost, and it’s fine.

It’ll probably mean a whole new kitchen - but that’s well over 30 years old, too.

Oh, do tell Ailidh, I didn't know there was such a combo.

What make is it?
