Well, think about it.
What lasts about 6 minutes and belches huge amounts of 2.4GHz RF?

Yep. Biggest signal rules. Here's a list of other sources of
interference to worry about:


Most well built microwave ovens will not leak much RF. It's only the
ones with damaged door seals, bent hinges, and ossified food stuck
between the door and frame, that leak. I had a leakage problem that
was easily fixed by beating the hell out of the hinge until it roughly
resembled the correct position.
