what else can you innovate to differentiate your microwave from every other microwave on the market?

My ideal microwave:

  • 800W, always full power
  • A dial to set the time/make it go
  • Pull door to open, not pushy-button-open-nonsense

I have never needed to use power variation, defrost settings, popcorn button, or any of the other junk.

Innovate through simplicity. Less features means less to go wrong, and cost savings that can be put into either making it cheap or improving component quality.

All i care about is that it's stupid. After that, 1000W and a +30s button.

My current microwave has a dial with 5deg rotation per minute. So hitting 30s often just turns it off. Was super cheap though so ๐Ÿคท

Must be a proper chunky dial that actually controls the circuit then.

I like that, but would also accept 'cook by wire' where the dial sets a time digitally. Cost would go up though...

Yeah it's a mechanical switch

Honestly if the only control on the thing was the door switch and a +30s button I'd be soo happy LMAO

I swear if I had more time I would Kickstarter this.
