Express button microwaves are more annoying than just pressing the amount of time you want, amirite?

Dial microwave with a knob you turn that winds down and dings are the way.

Sir you have to move to 1995 to find the features you want.

I'm really glad mine didn't come with a tune, I didn't even think about the fact that might be a thing. Something to ask about when I have to replace.

Anyplace that is using a microwave in a commercial kitchen doesn't really stand up does it.

Am I the only person that just pounds the +30sec button until I get to how long I want? (unless it's something super long)

Yeah I'd mostly be happy with a microwave that only had a +30s button. Other than the occasional time I want lower power to soften butter or something.

My microwave is great. It just has a knob that you turn and the set time goes up in 10 second intervals and I just press the knob down to start it. So much easier than punching in numbers

Mine only does express if you press and then leave it for a few seconds. So you could press 3-5-start or you could just press 3 and then wait 2 seconds and it will start 3:00. It's a good design.

That's a great way to incorporate it.

That might be a popular opinion. I hate it too.

The only thing I use the microwave for is heating up day old coffee, which takes 60 seconds, or soup, which is 2.5 minutes popcorn I make in the skillet. That's about it, unless I need to melt butter or something in a baking recipe.

I used to hate it but I've gotten used to it and now it's really nice. Then again, all my cook times are on the minute or on the :30 so I either press a single button, or two buttons at most. I can see it being annoying if you often have to cook in :15 increments

TIL what an express button microwave is. Mine doesn't do that.

The microwaves at the cafeteria at work only have express buttons. On most 3 =30 seconds, but on 1 microwave it only gives you 3 seconds lol.
