Microwave Installation

Signs You Should Upgrade Your Microwave

Replacing a worn-out microwave oven is a project that should never be put on the back burner. A broken or outdated unit will only become more inefficient the longer you wait to swap it out. Not to mention the safety risks a malfunctioning microwave can pose to you and your family. Here are a few telltale signs it’s time to retire the old and welcome the new:

  • Decreased Performance: If your microwave takes longer than usual to heat food, it may not be functioning at full capacity. Over time, the heating elements weaken, causing slower performance.
  • Visible Damage: Cracks in the door, a worn-out power cord, or peeling interiors are more than cosmetic issues — they’re potential hazards.
  • Unusual Sounds: A microwave making odd noises or emitting strange odors while in use could indicate mechanical or electrical issues, signaling the need for a new model.
  • Outdated Design: Newer microwaves are not only more powerful but also designed to integrate into the modern kitchen better, giving you style as well as function.

What’s the Deal With Wattage?

When it comes to selecting the perfect microwave, wattage plays a significant role in its cooking power and efficiency. Higher wattage levels translate to faster cooking times and more even heating, while lower wattage may suit those who prefer gentler, gradual cooking. Knowing how wattage affects performance can help you make informed choices, especially if you want your meals prepared with consistency and ease.
