Also, let’s lock some functions behind an app, and maybe even add a subscription! Ooh, and let’s also say our microwave is “AI powered”, that’s what sells recently!
I want a loud reminder beep! That can’t be disabled. That never stops. So if I’m warm and comfortable in a blanket, or the cat is sleeping on me, or I get busy with something else… It will still beep every few minutes, until the heat death of the universe!
Seriously, wtf are these designers actually thinking!?
And if you answer COME GET YOUR FUCKING FOOD by hitting the +30 Seconds button it’ll beep even louder and say YOU FORGOT TO PUT THE FOOD IN, STUPID!
More power please. Commercial kitchens get 2kw. UK has 240V with 13A. I want 3kw microwaves for home purchase
Dries your hamster in only fifteen seconds!
This person microwaves

My ideal microwave has zero smart electronics. Just a physical timer along with a switch to disable the bell.
Which is exactly what my microwave has. A knob for the time and a button to open the door. Bought it for 30€ last year and its a wonderful piece of technology.
i want to kick my microwave to the curb and buy one that cannot beep. shut up garbage food heater. i dont want reminders. leave the food in there to rot for a week for all i care ! i am in control
don’t beep me
First thing I do when I buy a new microwave is take the cover off and de-solder the beeper.
Usually just needs to hold start and stop buttons to stop the sounds altogether.
This activates the child lock on mine 😅
We got a new microwave at work that locks the door when food is cooking. There is a button you have to push to unlock it even after if is done heating. I’ve never had a microwave like that before.
Mines like that too but its also an oven so maybe thats why? I hate the feature though, should probably turn it off…

…and fewer physical controls. Everything in a submenu with hard-to-identify icons.
Brilliant idea! 🥇

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

The god damn NES, from 1983, could make sounds besides shrill monotone square waves of varying length. Why are your beeps worse than a video game that weighs forty kilobytes?
Now I want a microwave with chiptune ringtones. Like Axel F and your lasagna is done
Deafeningly loud beeps any time you press a button or don’t press a button for some period of time.
Our microwave oven has an “on” button, for whatever reason. Not a button that starts the microwaving, just one that turns on the display and enables you to push the other physical buttons. If you turn it on and then don’t press anything else for a certain time, it will angrily beep at you.
They could just as well have skipped this and made it turn on when you press any button, and then turn off after a certain time of inactivity.
why not a nice song when it’s done like washing machines?
Sing me the song of your people!
My washing machine has the song of “I’m highly unbalanced because I’m 35 years old and now walking the floor” but no others.
Very fitting for me since the microwave just decided to stop heating food…
There are many new models out there with several beeps added, much more than what we were used to 10-15 years ago. You should give it a try!
Are there like a variety of pitches to choose from now?
And if you thought opening the door would stop them; like with the older models, think again! You’re getting those 5 loud-ass beeps, whether you want them or not!
God just got a new washing machine. It plays a whole song of beeps at the end.
Those guys are the same ones that design new cars too
Thanks, I hate it (though my roommates seem to believe the more beeps the better)
