List of Retired Microwaves

Principally the microwaves are used until they become unusable. This doesn't mean a microwave has to be broken though: sometimes a microwave is swapped out while still in working condition. This is called a retirement. The most common reason for early retirement is that a microwave becomes so dirty that it becomes too hard to see inside of her. Most of the times a dirty microwave gets retired when the season ends (with an exception for Helga).

On the performance of the microwave shows of VidCon and Playlist Live, the microwaves are just bought for the performance and after that they are switched out too.

The current amount of official retired microwaves, is twelve.

Montages
The first retirement montage Jon made, was for the retirement of Lacey. It was funeral-themed with a white colored background and the normal funeral song, the only difference was the text. It was RETIRED and not R.I.P. on the last shot. After that, no microwave ever got a retirement montage, until the retirement of Penny. This time it has a red-white-blue colored background and an upbeat marching music.

Unnamed, Diane, Samantha, Justine and Felicia however never got a retirement montage by Jon. However, since their retirements, there have been fan-made montages.
