Debate with my dad about fixing a 20 year old microwave
My dad thinks I should toss my 1998 microwave since the turntable motor died, but I want to swap in a used one for $15 from the local repair shop. He says new ones are safer and more efficient, while I figure keeping it out of a landfill matters more. Which side do you lean on for old appliances that still heat fine?

Honestly, "potential fire risk" is funny because my uncle’s microwave from 1985 finally died last year and it literally just stopped working one day, no smoke or anything. He replaced it with a new one and now complains the popcorn button burns everything.
