Yes. Definitively not like my microwave. My microwave has not only the worst interface. But it also lags. The polling rate of the capacitive touche buttons is too low. And any action also takes a second to validate. It's horrendous.

Give me back my late grandma microwave. Two knobs. Nothing more.

After much research I purchased a Samsung MWF300G[0] a modern microwave with only 2 dials. Used daily for 5 years and I love it.

Does yours beep if you don't open the lid in a minute after it turns off?

Mine does and that is super annoying. Annoying enough that I'm thinking of removing the buzzer or just buying another microwave. I do like the simple dual dial design though.

I bought an industrial microwave a number of years ago just for this feature: Its controls consist of a single dial: how long to cook for.

Also, in an industrial microwave the magnetron itself rotates, so there's no silly rotating plate business. Just put food in, turn the dial, take food out, and clean up is a snap.

I'm willing to go further. My parents' microwave has a single knob, and mine has two but I have never used it at something other than "High".

I like to have a single button to start and add 30s and a handle where you just pull to open.

Fortunately, those are also the cheapest ones.

For microwaves, my ranking is inversely correlated with price.
