I’m a boomer. We got our first microwave when I was about 8, so around 1970.
We were the first family that I remember having one.
My dad liked trying new gadgets.
I'm 77. My two sons are 58 and 54. I don't remember the year I bought my first microwave, but it was probably in the 70's. I bought it from Sears. It was a big old thing, heavy too, but that darn thing lasted 15-20 years. One time it stopped working, so I took it to a small appliance repair shop. He put in a new fuse for $5.00, and the thing lasted until I got tired of having to move it when me moved to a new apartment...so I got a new, smaller one.
