I'm have high turnover apartments (40%+ per year), and i provide microwave ovens

i buy 10-packs of them for $300, so $30 each, and on move out about half the time it is cheaper to put in a new one than to take the time to clean the old one

i suspect these cheap units may be emitting intense gamma radiation at that price, but they work

modern tenants (at least the ones i have) use microwave ovens almost exclusively: i sometimes have stoves where the oven has never even been used

i draw the line at dishwashers: those can be finicky in tenant hands, and if they break can flood

but i find microwave ovens nowadays are pretty basic items in an apt, and are a good selling point

Microwaves use 2.4GHz radio waves. Gamma radiation is not involved.

That's a shame, as many tenants, especially those unwilling to buy their own $40 microwave, would benefit from more exposure to sperm-reducing gamma rays.
