I migrated our house to a "commercial" variant of the microwave oven [1] as I was tired of all the over-engineering and annoying patterns in modern microwaves.

This microwave has exactly UI element other than the door - a digital dial that goes from 10s-6m. No start/cancel, no power level, no defrost, no program mode. I don't "cook" using the oven, only reheat or very rarely heat/boil small quantities of water.

The microwave beeps only once after complete and it's not incredibly loud.

Despite my kids literally abusing this device, it's been rock solid for 7+ years. Amusingly my company started putting these same exact models in our office break/kitchen areas a couple years after I bought mine.
