Electrical Safety First. Product Recalls.

Several years ago our microwave oven packed up, I had already bought a new one and the old one was in the garage awaiting a skip run.


Then a link was posted to the old forum and I think it was probably Zoomup who posted it to bring a MCB recall to our attention, when I clicked the link the next item on the list was our now defunct and useless microwave oven, so I put it in the boot of the car and took  it back to the store it came from. The manager asked for the receipt from when I bought it, I replied that I didn’t have the receipt having bought it around ten years prior to it packing up. That’s okay said the manager, this microwave was a product made especially for us and no one else sold them, so go and choose yourself a new microwave. 


He was rather surprised when when I chose a basic microwave and said I could choose a better one yo match the features of the old one, when I said I was happy with the one I had chosen and find not want a higher spec  model he threw a free three year warranty in for the free machine.


We then had two new microwave ovens, so I gave the free one to my mother in law.


So thanks to Zoomup, the old IET forum , Electrical Safety First, the store and the manufacturer my mother in law has a microwave for several years that she has never used.
