Microwaves have been around for roughly as long as color televisions and, admittedly, are not the most exciting pieces of technology at this point. For all of their convenience, microwaves generally go overlooked, but these little ovens were the cutting edge of technology several decades ago, with the first models — which were much larger than the countertop units we take for granted today — costing tens of thousands of dollars.

Chances are good that the microwave in your home was made years or possibly decades ago, so if it’s time for a new one, we’ve rounded up a handful of ongoing microwave deals. Our selections run the gamut, from basic, budget-friendly countertop ovens to sleek ultra-modern units, and include a couple of our own all-time favorites.

Gamers know that Nintendo Switch deals almost always get sold out quickly, so you should be quick in taking advantage of Walmart's offer for the Nintendo Switch OLED. From its sticker price of $350, it's available for only $284 for savings of $66, which is enough to get you a Nintendo Switch game. There's a catch though -- the version that's on sale is imported from Japan, but that won't be a problem for you to enjoy the hybrid console. Proceed with the transaction right away, as you may miss out on the bargain if you hesitate.

Why you should buy the Nintendo Switch OLED
The Nintendo Switch OLED is an upgraded version of the Nintendo Switch that features a 7-inch OLED touchscreen that's bigger and brighter with more vivid colors, so that you can better enjoy the best Nintendo Switch games.
