It did with anything 2.4 GHz (BT, WiFi, Logitech nRF, etc etc). I threw my microwave away. Not really missed it, it was a waste of space, but anyone who wants to do a deauth attack can also get you to disconnect from WiFi. Right now we got two airfryers, an oven (airfryers are basically mini ovens), and a mini pizza oven. The latter is pretty bad and hard to operate but because our main oven is broken, its as good as it gets. Not much edible comes out of a microwave. The tastes are almost always bland. I'd rather not eat. For my young kids I get to cook plain stuff, they don't enjoy anything complex but like the same stuff like pasta over and over again. We used au bain-marie in past. It requires a little bit more planning but nothing dramatic.

I use my microwave constantly, but it's all for defrosting. Once the food is no longer frozen but not yet piping hot, it then goes into the toaster oven or skillet or whatever to finish heating including crisping/browning. It's great because it not only saves significant time, but loses less moisture. Heating from frozen in an oven dries things out too much, or you have to use up aluminum foil to wrap it, which is annoying and a waste. Also obviously microwaves are great for soup.

  We eat soup once a week, on Saturday usually. I open the package (like this [1]), put it in a pan. Warm it up and... have soup. With a fresh baguette, some hummus or aioli or whatever. No microwave required. If its frozen soup (made in bulk it is very cheap) then it just has to be put out early enough. A microwave could help to defeat bad planning or tough time schedule.

    Well sure. Like I said, the main benefit of the microwave is to defrost faster. Nothing requires a microwave. And soup doesn't benefit from browning or crispness so you can heat it up in the microwave the whole way. There's nothing wrong with the pan, it just takes longer. And there isn't any taste/texture benefit over the microwave in the case of soup.
