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 my friend got one there eight years ago, has never cleaned it once in his life, uses it multiple times a day daily and it's still alive
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
That's not the case in my area.
