It's a typo. It should have read 'all microwaves *aren't* the same.

Shouldn't it be " Not all microwaves are the same"? A non-native
English speaker just wondering.


Yes, that would be the correct grammar. "All microwaves aren't the same"
would mean that none were the same, when this is clearly not the case. Many
are the same.
"Not all..." indicates that some may be the same, but not all are the same.
You were correct.

Your English is much better than my (whatever your native language is).
