I only ever press 2 buttons on my microwave. +30 seconds, and Stop. The other 10 might have stopped working years ago and I wouldn't have noticed.

  Buttons are nice because they're easy to wipe down, but dials are great for quickly selecting any duration.

    If you're having to wipe down the outside of your microwave more often than once every 2-4 weeks, you and I have very different cooking experiences.

      Do you have over-the-range one? If not, that's probably the difference. If you do, I'm guessing you don't cook anything in oil very often?

        If I have a choice, I'll never have an over the range microwave again. A counter microwave costs like $30-$100; over the range units cost like $400+; and they get really gross.

          Got a built in Bosch one that happens to also be ... a regular oven. Handy to have two ovens sometimes

      wipe down the outside? What do you mean? /s

  You use Stop? I use +30 seconds... and just open the door to end it early. ;)

    Stop is needed to reset the timer for next time :)

        That’s another “touchpoint”. Just wait for the next power outage
