QUESTION
Even though they said they tested for microwave leakage,
and said there was none, I am not fully convinced. If there is some leakage
of rays, are they harmful, if you are in the kitchen, when it is on? Should
I dump the thing?

No need to dump it. Use one of these when operating the microwave:
