How often have you had to purchase a new microwave since you've been married?

[owensmom34]

We've gone through 2 microwaves in 14 years of marriage which seems like a lot.  Which comes to another question...

How come appliances don't last longer now days?

[JeremysMom]

We have had 2 microwaves in 8 years but the only reason we had to replace the first one was because it was 220V and we were moving back to the states and needed a 110V. My parents had their microwave for nearly 20 years. As a child I was always hoping it would tear up because I hated it. It finally broke after I moved out!

 We've only had the one that we have no but then again we've only been together 4 years LOL

We've been through 2 microwaves in 4 years. We had a GE and it just crapped out on us. Then we got a really nice microwave so hopefully it'll last longer. The one my mom had (and I think may still have) she had for 19 some odd years.

We are on our second. It has slowed down a bit but still works. I like the turntable and would definitely get another with a turntable.

 I am divorced but I have bought 3 in the past 7 years.  I will learn that cheaper is not always better

I have had the microwave for the past 5 years and it's still going strong.

appliances don't last longer because companies can make more money off you.  I've had to buy two or three.

I agree!  Sometimes I end up buying and paying more than if I just would of bought quality in the first place!

We only have one... we rarely use it though.

I have had the same microwave we purchased almost 10 years ago. It is still in great working condition. The only problem we have is that the glass on the front has come loose and slides down. We need to take the door off and fix that!
