How long should my microwave last?

• <div><p>A microwave can last anywhere from five to 10 years. To get the most out of this appliance, you should follow a few maintenance tips:</p><ul><li><p>Immediately clean up spills and food bits. To help with stuck-on food, heat a bowl of water with ¼ cup of lemon juice for one minute.</p></li><li><p>For over-the-range microwaves, clean the grease filter that’s underneath it. This will ensure the microwave runs efficiently.</p></li><li><p>Never put anything metal in the microwave, as it can create a fire hazard. Also, avoid dishes with metal trim for the same reason. </p></li><li><p>Avoid slamming the door. With years of use, the door switches could easily break. </p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: What benefits do professionals provide for microwave installation?

• <div><p>Professionals guarantee precision installation, regulatory compliance, and the extension of appliance lifespan through proper handling and systems understanding.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take to install a microwave?

• <div><p>Installing a microwave can take a pro anywhere between one and three hours. Countertop units are the quickest and easiest for most DIYers, while built-in, drawer, and vented over-the-range microwaves take longer. You may be looking at a three-hour install if you need electrical or custom cabinetry work.</p></div>

Q: What appliances can trip the circuit breaker?

• <div><p>Plug-in appliances, such as fans, hair dryers, irons, and vacuums, can cause a circuit overload and trip your circuit breaker. Older electrical systems may not support newer appliances, or the appliances may have internal damage. You need to determine whether the issue stems from the outlet or the appliance so you know which needs to be repaired or replaced.</p></div>

Q: Should you tip appliance installers?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s not necessary to tip appliance installers, but it is a nice gesture to show your appreciation for their hard work. It&rsquo;s especially a good idea if your team has to haul your appliance up stairs or through tight areas and around corners without damaging your home. Tipping each installation team member between <b>$10 and $15</b> is a great way to thank them for a job well done.</p></div>

There was a communication problem and one of the jobs was overlooked. Also, a faucet was not installed properly and wobbled. I talked to the owner and he personally came back and attended to the repairs.
