Ah yes, the touch screen ovens. I have one. Every time I open it, the steam rushes out and registers the touch screen, doing something random each time. You never know what it'll do, it's exciting.
- ddingus 6y agoGood grief! I chuckled. We are lucky hand have easily maintained appliances from an older era. So easy. Not as efficient or cool, but nobody wants the newer stuff.
- yholio 6y agoI have an all glass Electrolux induction cooktop with touch buttons. The idea is not necessarily bad because it allows very easy cleaning in an area where gooey spills are frequent, very hard to clean complex features like buttons and knobs. However, you know what else reacts to gooey spills? Why, touch buttons, of course. You literally cannot boil anything with a lid on the front areas, since the lid will condense vapor that will drip towards the button area and either startup other areas, or turn-off the device. The same if a pot without a lid boils too intensely. Dangerously, it has other resistive areas that heat up when their respective touch buttons are hit with droplets. It has a lock button, but the lock button itself is placed in exactly the same area and has the same problem.
- radley 6y agoWe have a Samsung oven. Often I'll lean a pot lid against the back and a random button event will be triggered (like setting the over to Bake). The lib doesn't press any buttons, it just triggers something via proximity (and steam, eh?). Half of those unplanned triggers will cause the system to lock up. Samsung Support's solution: unplug the oven.
