$159.99, on Aug 28, 2026, Oct 21, 2026 and Oct 27, 2026. That's from 3 dated prices we've recorded between Aug 28, 2026 and Oct 27, 2026.

The lesson

Fair, not special. Inverter power heats more evenly than a basic microwave, and this one adds a broil element for crisping. But $159.99 is the same price Costco charged in late August, so it isn't a new low. If yours just died, it's a solid pick; otherwise wait to see what Black Friday brings.
