Same. Any microwave that can't start with one button push is a time waster IMO. That and Cancel are the only buttons I typically use.

Why bother with Cancel when you can just open the door?

I prefer 0-9 buttons, and lots of memories, mine has 3.

Cancel time-remaining if you quit cooking early. Leaving 12 seconds on the clock won't fly with OCD types, surely?

If you wanted a minimalist microwave though, you could have it reset each time the door is opened or after a minute or two of inactivity.

I never open the door, scared of the radiation
