no mishaps so far. I didn't leave the stove on or something boiling on the stove and everything is in good working shape. only thing is while I was fixing my dad's painting, I got some paint on the kitchen tablecloth. I sprayed Shop Shot carpet remover on it and some of it came off. I felt bad and called my mom and told her and she said no worries we'll get another one from India. I'm so proud of myself : )
