We have a combination oven and microwave (yes...) that seems to have been designed with the primary purpose of enraging the owner.

The microwave can only be set in 15 second increments. But you can fine-tune it, in five-second increments, by spinning a dial. Except that you can't do that while the oven is on.

The microwave makes a noise while it's operating. When it's finished, it will beep unobtrusively and then continue to make the operating noise. You can stop it from making the operating noise by opening the door.

The microwave can't be replaced, because it's part of the oven.
