Title: dangerous ewave microwave
I bought an ewave over-the-range microwave at home depot within the last six months. It was a great microwave until it fell off the wall pulling down two cabinets of glassware spreading broken glass and broken cabinets all over my kitchen. Upon investigation of what happened, I found that one of the two nuts that holds the lag bolt that partially secures the unit to the cabinet above it was completely stripped. The one reaming lag bolt was apparently not strong enough to hold the unit by itself. Between broken glassware (including two Waterford vases), broken cabinets and the other damage caused when the unit came down, I have suffered at least $2,500 worth of damage.
I am glad that my children were not in the kitchen when this happened. The microwave is very heavy and someone could have been really hurt if they were there.
