The best microwave UI has just two dials. Temperature and time. For years my microwave experience involved mostly just twisting the latter and walking away. I've gone out of my way to find microwaves with this control set. Unfortunately the most recent one I bought has buttons and settings, and I hate it. I want the dials back.

An advanced one has extra options that are functionally valid, like blowing more air as opposed to wave radiation/convection heat, or adding more moisture surrounding it to keep that chicken moist, adding some top grill heat to give more caramelisation on the skin etc. These things requires a brain puzzle if you only use 2 buttons (think oldskool micro devices or configuring digital watches), and adding more buttons for these options offers arguably a more direct and simple user experience if you rtfm.
