Always let these air out after use, leaving the door open. We had one until a few months ago (same mode) and it went rusty inside after 18 months of light use where the metal frame meets the door. I've never had that happen before but I highly doubt these are actually made by Sharp. Still though, not exactly getting robbed for £16! Heat.

good spot

After one year use got rusty. Worst microwave ever. Never buy this again

You should always wipe it inside and out and leave it for a hour or so to cool down

It was well outside its warranty and for the sake of £50 it wasn't worth it so we just replaced it. Going by the second rust complaint it seems we aren't they only ones to suffer from the problem.

Cheapest microwave in history

went to my local tesco extra as I am looking for a microwave. still priced at £55 on shelf and on scanning the ticket

I had microwaved meals more expensive than this!

For Europe, Sharp licensed their brand name out to a Turkish company called Vestel. They can make a Vestel microwave and put a Sharp badge on it. Or import an actual Sharp microwave. You need to check the box.

Real Sharp microwaves used to be excellent. Now they are prostituting the brand around, I wouldn't have one.

I would take any rusty microwave back, since consumer protection laws require products to last a reasonable amount of time.

Hi all

thanks
