What is the safest microwave you can buy is one that has strong door interlock system, child lock, and UL certification, with Panasonic, GE, and Whirlpool being among safest brands due to robust safety features. All microwaves sold in US must meet FDA safety standards for radiation leakage less than 5 milliwatts per square centimeter at 2 inches, so any UL listed microwave is safe if door not damaged. Safest microwaves include Panasonic NN-SN65KB countertop with 3 door interlock switches that prevent operation if door open, child lock that prevents children from starting, and inverter that reduces sparking, service rates around 5 to 7 percent, costing 100 to 150 dollars. GE JVM6175SKSS over-the-range has 3 interlock switches, child lock, and automatic shutoff if overheating, costing 250 to 350 dollars. Whirlpool WML55011HS also has child lock and strong door latch. To ensure safety, look for UL or ETL listing that indicates tested for electrical safety, child lock feature if you have children, automatic shutoff if door opened, and sturdy door latch that closes tightly with no gaps. Avoid buying used microwave with damaged door seal, rust, or bent door that can leak radiation, and never operate microwave with door open. Clean waveguide cover made of mica regularly to prevent sparking. Also use microwave-safe containers only, avoid metal, and do not heat sealed containers that can explode. For safest operation, place microwave at safe height and keep clean.
