If so they have recalled some of their own brand ones;

I got rid of my last microwave oven about 8 years ago.
I once had one which did set afire.
I was using it when I saw a flash shoot from right to left inside the oven area, and found a large hole where the interior casing was blackened and melted on the interior right side.
I had been using it properly and the damage was NOT due to the food igniting, but the part which emits the wave had burnt through the interior casing.

I dont recommend their use anyway because they do alter the nutritional value of the food (for the worse)
Microwave gag order removed

I have to say that I use a microwave quite a lot, you see I'm lazy by nature, but I did have a fright not long ago. I used to pop a plate into the microwave just to warm it before serving food, until one day there was a loud bang and the plate shattered into a thousand pieces, I don't do that any more

That was IMPROPER use - read the instructions....or, better still send the evil thing to landfill.

Margaret your quite correct, but isant it the case, you do something once then say sod, and carry on regardless. the thing is I had been doing this for years with the same plate, but I don't now

I would not be without our "DING" its better that a frying pan

I ask you to consider WHY you eat.
To nourish your body?................... or just to satisfy hunger?
If you eat microwaved food you are just doing the 2nd option.
What a waste of money!

A more foolproof way to life insurance than antifreeze

Thats two good reasons to have a "DING"

i have this microwave, never had any problem with it, might take it back as i would get a new warrenty on a new one

[Margaret Pilkington]

I have one of these.....and it was bought as a stop gap, with a promise of a better one.
I have to say it is utter 'bobbins'....which proves what I always say......you get what you pay for.
Needless to say it is going to be taken back and I WILL have a better model.
I don't use the microwave very often, but hubby does.

I wouldn’t touch Asda white goods if they paid me. An electric kettle from them lasted just 7 months before it went bang. A non-stick milk pan started going rusty under the chrome rim. They both went back for a refund.

My Proline microwave came from Comet and has lasted over 7 years without a problem. But then I don’t abuse it.
