I don't 'hate' my microwave. Mostly, I question the safety of it
(considering I've never heard of this type of condensation before).
It's a minor inconvenience to wipe the water up afterwards, but for
the amount of time we use the microwave (like, once a month) I am not
sure it's worth it to 'fight' the dealer for a replacement. I'd just
like to hear from someone that may have some technical experience with
microwaves and could offer an informed and independant opinion on its
operation.
