A microwave needs two dials - one for power level, and one for time. Not a calculator keypad, not buttons with +1 and +10 on them or any of that nonsense - dials please. And start/stop buttons if you insist. That's it. It does not need a 'defrost chicken drumsticks' programme cluttering up the ui, because that function is far better fulfilled by a human repeatedly running the thing at low power for a few mins then poking the food with a finger
- katbyte 3y agoI hate dials on microwaves, it’s annoying to enter an exact time. Keypad and start/stop buttons please. If we are going to get fancy wifi/Ethernet just for ntp so the time is always right.
- layer8 3y agoDigital dials with a pseudo-log scale are the best and fastest to enter and adjust precise times.
- maratc 3y agoI don't have current time display on my microwave, it doesn't hinder my microwave performance in any way, so that problem doesn't exist for me.
- bitsandboots 3y agoSure the performance isnt hindered. The microwaves will keep microwaving. The food will just be blasted into an inedible state. Dealing with this right now; At someone's place with such a dial microwave and they work around its incredible lack of precision at the consequence of burned or frozen food.
