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.

I briefly rented an apartment with a microwave that was also a toast oven. Grandet, it had a dumb, slow, digital screen to control. But it was really nice inside. There was no turn table but still heated everything evenly, and due to its size, it was much more efficient that a normal oven at baking. The door also opened forward like an oven.

That is to say, I agree with you thst I want a dumb dial, but there are some nice features out there that I wouldn't mind having.

Hold up. Most of what you described was just a toaster oven. You're saying it used microwaves but could also toast? I need to see this magic machine.

Yup. I've never seen it before. A toast oven that is also a microwave. But instead of a dial to select the mode, you have to go through a touch menu 🤮
