- JeremyMorgan 11y agoYep. My family first got one in 1985, and IIRC it was one of the cheaper models at around $350 (1985 dollars)
- hn_ 11y ago$300? That's cheap. If I recall correctly I remember my mom telling me her first microwave was $800 (1982). That is over $2,000 adjusted for inflation. The one in my kitchen costs $30 or $40 and I bought it a decade ago.
