The microwave in the house we recently bought is a July 1995 Whirlpool. 875 watts. Original to the house (as is the 1995 Magic Chef/Maytag slide in electric range). My husband occasionally mentions replacing the microwave. I usually respond with wanting to see how long it will last before it dies.

Now I’m going to need to plan a birthday party for its upcoming 30th.

They're relatively simple machines. Entirely possible it'll live to see 50 or more.
