I know, right? But it’s for a home of 5 people and it’s above range with exhaust fan and a bunch of other stuff. The one installed before came with the house and had been there since 2001 so fingers crossed this lasts as long.

My first thought was like, dude microwaves are 49 bucks at Wally World. But then I remembered how much I paid for my over range with all the upgrades.

When I moved in with my fiancé a couple of months ago, we didn't have a stove (or anything, really) yet moving out of our parents places. Bought the cheapest store-brand microwave from an electronics store, $140. And for $140, it's really not doing a great job of being a microwave, or an oven with the oven function, honestly. But it gets the job done and we'll buy a more proper microwave when it dies (which will probably be a couple of months after the warranty runs out).

I went through the same thing 8 years ago in an apartment. Figured microwaves were like 40 bucks. Well they aren’t. We didn’t even get one and actually liked it. But it would be hard without a stove lol

Thankfully, we were able to put in our brand new induction stovetop 2 weeks ago. I did not cheap out on that, and I'm glad I didn't. This thing boils water in 30 seconds - hell yeah!
