We have a Smeg oven, not with touchscreen controls, but with two pushable knobs that are easily pressed (thus starting the oven) by brushing past them. This oven has the worst user experience of anything, hardware or software, I've even used.

In what conditions do you live that brushing past an oven is an often reoccuring situation?

I live with my 5 adult sons in a house with a small kitchen. Every hip-level surface gets smacked regularly.

I used one at a relative's house and I agree - worst appliance user experience that I've come across.
