If this isn't good for electrical fires/outlets, kindly advise me of one that is for kitchen where microwave is. Thanks. :)

You need an extinguisher with a class C rating for electrical fires. Since this is bc it covers that need.

I would email Fagor. My personal reaction is No. I do not use metal implements in microwave. Metal is a wave shield and sparking raises my blood-pressure.

Sure. I have a great friend who owns a restaurant and he uses these for cooking sauces all the time.Obviously you have to be careful with any fire inside and I wouldn't use it for space heating, but cooking during a power outage, perfect.

Electromagnetic is not radiaton, although not good. I tried it on the microwave which when 5 feet away they were safe levels. So while foods are cooking ,I no longer stand in from of it, looking in the door. Also, I was surprised that the portable phone cradles are high and the coffee pot, which was a shock ! Don't think I would want to live under High Power Lines ! I have not held it up to my cell phone yet. I very seldom use it, but now that you mention it ...I will try it !

That is terrible! Good thing the fire did not spread, too bad for the ruined microwaves. I have not used these in microwaves, I pour hot water in the bowls and lets the noodles steep for 4-5 minutes before eating. I am not sure if they are approved for the microwave, wish I had one so I could check the label. Have you looked to see if maybe they are not microwaveable?

I doubt it, it is not shielded and nor is it specifically fire rated. But it's also not carrying any current so personally I think it's a grey area but if you are concerned about potential fire then get something CL3 Rated for In-wall Installation.

Hi, I'm pretty sure it's made of metal, so you would not want to use it in a microwave. I use it for an extra shelf in my RV cabinets.

Double check with the manufacturer but just because it's microwavable doesn't mean that you can use it in an over. I would only use this in the microwave as a regular oven could cause it to catch fire.

Can use on a refrigerator. Keep in mine that if it surges that it will keep power from returning to the refridge. There is an RCA on that will take the hit and then allow power to resume. Just keep in mind at that point it would no longer be protected. Microwaves yes. I have one of these on mine. Dryers no.

Finally I did not buy it. I am using electical lamp with high voltage grill. Noisy but limit them, buy an for exterior use, can be found from farmer supply shop.

I'd be worried about 1) heat and 2) dust, neither of which are good for electronics. If you can control those two factors I don't see why not. If not, there may be more rugged units on the market.

I think a microwave is best. You may have to check with the manufacturer of this.

You might try the Tripp Lite. The gas dryer only needs a surge protector you can get locally.

Yes. Just be aware of what else is on the breaker that corresponds to where you plug it in. If I run my microwave I have to make sure the heater isn't on the same breaker or it'll trip. Granted, whoever wired this old house wasn't the smartest person.

Sure. My favorite feature of the protector is that if it is compromised by a surge, it will start beeping about every 30 seconds to inform you if it is out of sight. I would not use it for electronics because it is designed to continue providing power to your refrigerator so your food will not spoil and in the event of a storm, it would not continue any additional protection and would let additional surges through.

Information is given to describe that this item is good for liguid/gas and energized electricity. This item is said to be suitable for kitchen and garage. Not suitable for paper, wood, etc. It is light-weight and easy to follow the direction to use, even children can use.

It's marked up to 15 amps I would say any standard size appliance should be ok I use it on my microwave just look on appliance for amps 15 and under.
