Microwave UIs suck so bad. I've yet to find an improvement on the classic two analog knobs system, where one controls power and the other sets time.

Mine has a button to cycle between 5 power levels, a knob for time, and the start button is also a 30 second button. It's perfect
That actually sounds lit I didn't know that existed
That is how the first ones (that I saw) worked. I was so happy when I saw that not only do they still exist, my local grocery store started selling them. I bought my second one a few days ago.
Because 2:00 = 1:60
Or are we going to implement metric time?
The French tried to, briefly.
I get the 2:00, but shouldn't it be 120? Or am I dumber than I thought? 60+60 still = 120, right?
1:60 = one minute and 60 seconds, or two minutes.
120 would be parsed as one minute and 20 seconds, or 80 seconds.
Took me a bit to get too.
You can also punch in 90 to get 1:30. I may have been extra lazy a few times to learn that.
It's not really lazy until you're putting in "88" to save a keystroke and extra finger movement.
It's not 160 (seconds) it's 1 (minutes) **:**60 (seconds). My microwave always keeps the : when I input time.
Jokes on you, my 6 button doesn't work so 160 gets me 10 seconds
There are moments when I miss the stupid useless awards from Reddit.
Here you go .. it was given to me and now I'm giving it to you.
