Get rid of the microwave and get a 20$ electric kettle. It'll boil water faster and you can make instant ramen etc just by pouring the boiling water over the noodles(or w/e) and letting it sit and cool for a few minutes. Everything else that a microwave can do can be done with either a toaster oven or an air fryer but healthier AND tastier. AND you can reheat soggy French fries like some golden god of the kitchen.

Yea it's cool to have a toaster oven and air fryer but that might not work for most people and there are still a lot of things you will have a hard time reheating. Would you air fry or toast cold oatmeal? The methods you mentioned will usually be better but I sometimes still avoid them because it will take longer

I pour boiling water from the kettle on my oats and wait 4 minutes. Less for instant oat packets. More convenient because i leave the kettle with some water in it an just turn it on while walking by(push a button then fill a bowl with oats and water, no need to open and close a box and push multiple buttons). Any other challenges? There is no shame in just liking your microwave, but I've had all these appliances side by side to compare them(although I've never used an expensive microwave) and the absolute only thing that a microwave can do that an electric kettle/toaster oven combo can't do either better and/or faster is microwave popcorn. I don't miss my microwave tho because stovetop popcorn surprisingly tastes better and I'm not that into popcorn anyway.
