Normally i would never question it and would just have bought one but i have a hubby who hates spending money and i told him about it while he is at work and he is saying wait till he comes home and sees it himself. If i buy it without his knowledge the cheap git will refuse to pay his share!!!!

if the paint is peeling on the bottom ,just wipe it off as much as you can when cleaning it,this starts because of cleaners you use made the paint week over time or you scrub to hard with a rough pad!.it won t hurt you,as some people mentioned lead paint ,that went out before microwaves were invented,they are just stupid !if you knew what your kids put in their mouths every day,believe me that s worse than this and their still ok!! But if its peeling on top and on the sides its best to get another one,even thow eating it would no effect on you.I still would not what to eat it,If its peeling on the side and top ,get rid of it,peeling on the bottom under the glass ,dont worry about it,just keep cleaning it ,soon it won t be there.

The paint is cosmetic and will not affect the operation or your health or safety. They have never used lead paint in a microwave. There is NO nuclear radiation involved at all with a microwave and never has been. X-rays are at a much higher frequency than microwaves.

The microwave is safe to use without the paint. The paint is simply cosmetic.

Definately a new one. What country are you in. In the UK a very basic one from a supermarket costs less then £20, is it worth the risk?

no. u need a new one and it will go in your food along with the fumes from the melting paint. Although I don't know why there is paint in your microwave.

no, it's not safe at all because the radiation will escape from the the inside of the microwave. i know you cannot feel the radiation but it can get through your skin for time to time and the chance is you can get skin cancer without knowing the reason.
