One evening I had a few too many beers. I decided to whack some popcorn in my new microwave for 2 minutes, this would have been an ideal timing in any other microwave. However my this microwave has the heating power of the sun, NASA can stop trying to figure out nuclear fusion and just use my microwave instead.
In roughly 45 seconds of microwaving, my popcorn had spontaneously combusted. At first, inebriated me thought that the light had come on to signal my popcorn was ready. It was only when the flames started licking out of the door opening I realised my peril.
Long story short, I managed to extinguish the flames before they became a serious issue and have a new found respect for microwaving and the dangers it can present.
This is a fantastic microwave, even after the fire the damage was minimal, the whole thing didn't set alight, it was easy to clean and it is still functioning to this day.
My advice would be to be very cautious when first using this microwave, and take at least 30 seconds off of any cooking/microwaving times. (and buy a fire blanket/extinguisher safety and all that)
Other than that, thoroughly, thoroughly recommend!
