I had a microwave-air fryer combo that broke last week. It’s been agony trying to replace it because I bought it for $150, and now they’re going for like…$300-$400. Even a solo microwave is like $180 for a decent one.

When did microwaves get so expensive?

I’m curious what part of the world you live in, a basic microwave can still be had for like $40 in my area

I spent $150 on our microwave within the past few years in the U.S., however it was name brand and a special miniature model that would leave us with more counter space. If you buy a no name brand you can still get one for under $100, but that also means ordering from like Amazon or something, which is hit or miss.

I do think $100-$150 is reasonable for a good microwave that will last!

You can literally walk into either Walmart or Fred Meyers at least around me and find both the normal size and miniature ones for under $60

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
