Pimp My Microwave
The best microwave I have ever owned was the cheapest one you could buy from Argos: <a href="https://www.argos.co.uk/product/9174030" rel="nofollow">https://www.argos.co.uk/product/9174030</a><p>Two dials: power and time. The time dial moved to indicate how much time was left. It went "ding" when it was finished. That was it.<p>I can understand the need for features that automatically calculate how long to cook the food, and so on, but if you want those features you seem to have to take a massive hit in usability. They all seem to have cumbersome button-based user interfaces like this.
