Just cooked a whole chicken in 30 minutes in the Samsung.. it came out lovely and moist on the inside and nice and crispy on the outside.. I'm very impressed

Got 2 micros. both old, and big. the sharp is huge and about 15 or so i think.. the Panasonic is nearer 30. both microwave fine and been well looked after.
I used to fix the once upon a time, when the company I worked for leased them to big hotels.. the catering staff really abused the but they lasted a decent time. They all leak to a degree, but the radiation depletes greatly over a fairly small distance so if you are not overly close to it you will be fine

How close would you have to be to a leaky microwave to be affected by radiation? In the morningtime I sit on the worktop in front of it while it cooks my porridge. And my back has been pretty bad this last few weeks.

On the plus side it may be shaking up the neurons in my head - I did an IQ test recently and my IQ has shot up to a heady 79! Now I'm learning something new every day, instead of just re-learning stuff. Tied my own laces this morning! My short term memory has improved too. Also I tied my own shoelaces this morning.

My Sharp only lasted 18 years

I bought a combination Sharp microwave for my Mum many years ago, it also lasted a similar time, something like your 18 years. It was exceedingly heavy.
