Caveat: Remember to close the microwave door before pulling down a plasterboard ceiling panel. I'm not sure if it is a common fault, but that is what killed my last microwave.

Were Microwave ovens available to the domestic market in 1970 though ?. I only remember them appearing in the
1980's.When did other people buy their first one ? (1986 for me).
1980. Still using it regularly.

Yep.
I know I got the date right because that?s when I moved into the partly built house that I built myself and got a microwave when I did. Its still going fine.
I remember them being available in the mid 70s for £300 each (70s money).
Had access to one at home from the mid 80's, but bought my own one in '93, and its still working well (Panasonic, stainless interior).
You had to dress nice to own one.
