Microwave Danger!?

[Scarlett]

The inside of my microwave is quite corroded with bits of the wall come off and exposed. I guess it has rusted with the steam/moisture and bits have flaked off.
Do you think this is dangerous?

[Jennykenny]

Not an expert, but definitely sounds like it.

[Old_Geezer]

I'd have thought as long as you don't mind paint and rust in your food, it'd be ok until it starts sparking badly.

Get a new one. They're cheap enough, especially at this time of the year.

Mine went just like that two weeks before Christmas, knew it was a problem when it began to spark - luckily Santa has brought me a new one.

Get rid.

Bought a new one today for £40. Quite basic, but all that I need.

Can leak microwave radiation !
Get a new one.

Microwaves are so cheap these days, I wouldn't have thought it worth the risk to hang on to it.
