I have new appreciation for my microwave oven after going a few days without it. Sure, we could have bought a new one. But what a waste when it could be easily fixed with an ordered part.
It was a worthwhile exercise to go a few days without it, to realize it is a convenience, not a necessity!
The main problem was that more of our food prep patterns than I realized involve use of the microwave, from defrosting to cooking and reheating.
Without it, I had to plan further ahead, especially for defrosting.
It also provided renewed appreciation for how the microwave doesn’t heat up the kitchen like the oven or stovetop.
