This reminds me of what Don Norman quotes in "living with complexity" around how people buy the microwaves with all the buttons even though it's harder to use.

- Scoundreller 6y agoI would buy a 1-button microwave: enough pushes of the +30s button is all I need.
- jatone 6y agonow if i could just find one without the fucking clock.
- osel 6y agoI have one of these [1] which has two features that I like: - Super simple buttons - No clock if you don’t set it (it turns off after a few minutes of first power on) [1] https://www.lg.com/nz/microwave-ovens/lg-MS2336DB https://www.lg.com/nz/microwave-ovens/lg-MS2336DB
- karatestomp 6y agoThe two-dial ones of old were the best. Set power dial (or don't touch it if it's already where you want it), turn timer dial. Microwave goes until timer dial hits zero. No "start" button, no cancel, no menus, no preset crap. Just two dials.
- nicbou 6y agoI bought mine 5 years ago and it's just like that. I realised that I don't even need a time dial. An on/off switch would be just fine.
