OK, sure, the machine was full of water, it’s powered by electricity, and there was smoke pouring out of it, but that’s not quite what I meant. That was a mechanical problem with a belt rubbing up against something it’s not normally in contact with. The mere idea of getting zapped in a place that’s best left unzapped would be sufficient to steer me away from that company’s products, and that would be before I ever heard of this particular problem.
