…and fewer physical controls. Everything in a submenu with hard-to-identify icons.
Brilliant idea! 🥇
I miss my old microwave. It had like 4 buttons and a dial. It had all the features I’d ever needed(defrost, power levels, sensor cooking(popcorn, reheat, etc)).
The best feature though was just the dial. You want to set time…turn dial. The faster you turned it the faster the time increased. It had single second accuracy if you turned it slowly. When you stopped turning it, a light next to the start button would start blinking practically screaming ‘press me’.
Didn’t matter if it was 33 seconds or 15 minutes. You could set time on that thing in 1-2 seconds and be gone.
Never had to explain how to use it. Everybody that came to my house was like…”how does your microwave work?…never mind, figured it out” in literal seconds.
Happy days! Do any of them have dials now?
I think that my old one had a temperature dial, a timer dial, a start button and an open/stop button. And a mechanical ping, not a BEEEEEEEP!
There was one with dial on Lemmy a couple days ago. Whole minutes increment only, up to 30 mins
Looked cool though
