I have just been reading my e-mail from Lidl detailing their weekly specials. There is a combined Microwave/Grill featured at �30. which is cheap, and as I have had a few such things from Lidl I would happily buy. However, my current microwave is still working but as they get older, does the efficency deteriorate?. As it is over 20years old, would I be better dumping it rather than giving everything a few extra minutes?

Microwaves loose their power rating as time goes on. I had one for over 10 years. When it was taken to be repaired, around the 6 year mark,was found to have gone from a 750 to 650watt.

PS. Tesco do a basic microwave for �25. They`re excellent for the money.
