I had a microwave once that only had one nob that you turned and that was it. I've never seen another setup that was that simple and effective on a microwave.

- jmtulloss 19y agoThat's how my current microwave is, and it's great. Not only that, but the numbers on the knob no longer have any bearing on actual time increments, so I don't have to think at all. Just turn the knob an arbitrary amount, and hopefully I'll take it out on time. Brilliant.
- antiismist 19y agoOK, so the ideal microwave has just 1 nob. You turn it, and that gives you the time. And as soon as you let go, it starts up. Can't get simpler or easier to use than that. For the nob, I would want some type of exponential scale for time. Most people care about the difference between two and three minutes, but the difference between 20 and 21 minutes is inconsequential. Would that be confusing though?
