I'd love to find an in-wall microwave with that UI. I had an '80s Amana Radarange as a kid, and it too had a knob for time, a knob for power, and buttons for start/stop. Every microwave I've used since then has been a disappointment.
The Electrolux I have today not only has a bad UI, but it has to be periodically rebooted because the display stops working.
- dylan604 2y ago> '80s Amana Radarange That's a bold choice in product naming. Referencing radiation in any manner just seems like something you'd want to avoid
- vel0city 2y agoThere was a period in history in the US where referencing radiation made it cool and futuristic. I would have imagined that it mostly had died out by the 80s though. More like 1950s and what not.
- dylan604 2y agoI'm sure that fascination with radiation being cool took a nose dive after the Manhattan Project completed
- itishappy 2y agoThink you've got that reversed. The Manhattan Project kicked off the Atomic Age, and sentiments were largely positive until the height of the Cold War. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_Age https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_Age https://dp.la/primary-source-sets/the-atomic-bomb-and-the-nuclear-age https://dp.la/primary-source-sets/the-atomic-bomb-and-the-nu...
- AStonesThrow 2y agoIt is not referencing ionizing radiation: it's referring to "RADAR" which was common early marketing for microwaves. Now, microwave emissions are "radiation" in the scientific sense, but not colloquially.
