Default Are old microwave ovens built better than the new ones?

No. You're blowing the degradation out of proportion. They might
drop 5% by the time the power supply craps out. BFD.


I think you missed my point. Twenty years ago the typical microwave
was 600-800 watts. Today they're typically 1000-1200+


and with much smaller oven cavities.(and lower price!)
