Oh yes… never buy a Miele oven with touch buttons

• vdvsvwvwvwvwv 2y ago
  Same with Bosch. Two problems: Buttons stopped working after warranty expired so had to pay for a service call to have it fixed. Luckily no parts were needed. I don't recall the reason right now. It has a spinny disc, so like a potentiometer but not. It is a flat removable ring and behind it it uses a touch button of sorts You have to pull it off amd clean it before every use for it to work and when it does work it is very fiddly to use.

    That pseudo-potentiometer is sick

      And ridiculously expensive to replace for what is a glorified magnet if you happen to accidentally burn the plastic a little bit which is enough for it to becoe unusable.

  Same for Smeg.

    We have a Smeg oven, not with touchscreen controls, but with two pushable knobs that are easily pressed (thus starting the oven) by brushing past them. This oven has the worst user experience of anything, hardware or software, I've even used.

      In what conditions do you live that brushing past an oven is an often reoccuring situation?

        > In what conditions do you live that brushing past an oven is an often reoccurring situation? I live with my 5 adult sons in a house with a small kitchen. Every hip-level surface gets smacked regularly.

      I used one at a relative's house and I agree - worst appliance user experience that I've come across.
