When we bought our house, it came with a microwave that had a rotary dial on it. In order to cook something for 30 seconds, you had to turn the dial, click, turn the dial, click, and I think turn the dial and click again. And if you didn't know how to use it already, you had to experiment a little. It was the worse design I've ever seen. We wound up just replacing it with one with a touchpad of numbers. Admittedly, one that did a lot of other things (had all kinds of presets, timer, multiple fan speeds, etc), but "just cooking something for 30 seconds" requires 3 button presses... 3, 0, start.
