If you own a microwave, chances are that it falls into one of these three product categories:
Convection
Grill
Solo.
Albeit the cheapest and smallest of all the major kitchen appliances that are available on today’s consumer market, if you bag yourself a good make and model you can expect it to last on average for around nine years. There are also a few things you can do to make sure you get the best out of your microwave for as long as possible, including:
Check the electrical cord regularly for any evidence of damage or wear and tear
After every use, wash any components that can be easily removed from your appliance. Parts like the turntable are easily removed, for example, and can be simply cleaned with a cleaning pad and hot soapy water
Make use of natural products such as lemon (or lemon juice) to deodorize your appliance. Simply squeeze a few drops of lemon juice into a bowl of water, place it inside and hit start for a minute or two. Once the time’s up, wipe the inside thoroughly with a clean cloth then wipe it again with a dry cloth or tea towel.
That said, there’s still a good chance you might experience some problems in the future.
