Jackie was the twelfth microwave used on the microwave show, and host Jory Caron's favorite. She was named by Riley McIlwain, making her one of the few microwaves not named by Jory. Riley named her Jackie because of the Jack o' Lantern sticker she wore. She was a common fan favourite.

Death[]
Jackie miliseconds after the experiment ended
In episode 155 Jackie died while microwaving a slot machine. This slot machine became hot on the inside and eventually started to melt. After the guys ended the experiment, they noticed the display wasn't on, probably because of overheating, and thus she was declared dead.
With 20 experiments Jackie was the third longest lasting microwave. She was followed by Samantha instead of Bertha.
Trivia[]
- Jackie is the twin sister of Jory's old microwave, seen on 'Is it a Good Idea to Panini Press This?' The difference is that Jory's microwave didn't have a jack-o-lantern sticker on her panel.
- Jackie could have potentially survived for Samantha's episodes as well, had the slot machine been held for the season 6 finale, or had the slot machine experiment had been stopped earlier.
- Jackie might not have died, but overheated. If you look closely in the tinfoil shield seconds before her "Death", her clock is still on. However, her ultimate fate is unknown. Many other microwaves in the show also met similar fates.
- Jackie was bought by an unknown Walmart customer from the now abandoned Walmart in Garfield Heights, Ohio, and leaving the origin of the sticker a mystery.
- The thing that most defined Jackie's appearance was the same thing that helped name her- the jack-o-lantern/pumpkin sticker above her display. The sticker was a mystery, and nobody knows the story behind it. Perhaps Jackie was used to make s'mores or some other treat and was decorated by her previous owner. Regardless of its meaning, the pumpkin sticker gave Jackie style and originality.
- To show their love for Jackie, the guys wrote "Jackie ♥" on her filthy door after the Slinky experiment. Riley originally put "Jacky ♥", but Jon pointed out the misspelling and had Jory change it to the proper spelling.
- The microwave warranty defected in episode #141, #154, and #155.
- Jackie was in the microwave graveyard in episode #166.
- Jackie was appeared in "Pure Evil - Cell Phone in a Microwave". But that video did not have the sticker. It follows up by a creepy monster.
- Jackie is a JES1142WD04 model, produced from October 2001 to August 2008. It's unknown when Jackie was specifically made, but from the closeups from a sticker inside her cavity, it's assumed from the video quality that she was made in May from an unknown year.
- In two of Jackie's episodes, her plate broke. The first time, the Nerf gun cracked her own plate into three pieces. The guys replaced it with Beatrice's plate which was then broken by the Silly Putty. Therefore, Jackie did not use a plate in her last four experiments.
