Y'all better be clearing the timer so it returns to clock mode afterwards

My previous microwave oven had a mute button. That thing stayed permanently silent. Unfortunately I have never found a new model that can be muted.

Cue a Technology Connection video about how old microwave ovens were better.

yeah, but then it's blinking and i have to press stop to clear the blinking remaining time for the clock to display. I MUST HAVE MY CLOCK. ahem. sorry i don't have any anals that i need to retent or anything.

i once, i swear once pressed open at such a precise time i did not have to press any other buttons to get to the clock and (and this is the important bit) the microwave made no sound. i mean aside from the door clanging open and me squealing and pooting a little. it felt like i had just pumped exactly twenty moneys and i will never reach such heighths again

I hate it when people leave time on the microwave like this. It annoys me to no end, much more than the beep.

Bomb diffused. Counter terrorists win!

My wife does this... And then doesn't clear the timer. Ever. Not once. Fucking annoying.

Mine doesn't have enough electronics to beep. It does have a literal bell, though.

Every time I think I am special, I find out there are a gazillion people like me.

newb. I save the world by stopping it on 0:00 before the screen goes away.

Skill issue. Its possible to open it at exactly 0 seconds and it won't beep

Honestly, though, if a stopwatch counts milliseconds, I'm gonna see how close to 0 I can get without letting it hit 0

I found out my microwave has a mute function. That's my discovery of the year

Mine doesn't have a way to disable the beep so I opened up the case and de-beeped it by desoldering the piezo.

More kitchen devices need to follow what ricecookers are doing and play a charming melody when finished.

Any sound output should always, always have a volume control or on/off toggle. Sound is very subjective.

Do you set the timer to 61s as well?

There is a mute function.

I just got an old one that dings instead of beeping. much nicer

Looks like I found my people.

Mine doesn't even let you interrupt the beeping. If it goes off it's doing the whole sequence whether you like it or not.

There are videos on how to disable it permanently

It does require a little disassembly. I have considered doing this but I use the timer on the microwave a lot when baking things.

my settings -> signal off, no?

Hop boy, don’t buy Samsung appliances then! They like to play songs instead of just a beep!

Mine has a setting but it doesn’t get saved after a power outage which occurs a couple times a year.

I used to have a microwave that you could stop at 0 if you hit the right time. Before the finish beeps but still at 0. It was like a frame perfect press though, really hard to get.

Also at my work there's someone who likes to leave it at 0:01. When I come in in the morning and it displays that I don't know the time. Gr. Use the little red button kthx

Then there’s me LOSING MY DAMN MIND because I can’t figure out how to clear the one second off of the microwave and being INFURIATINGLY MAD at the jerk who left one second on the microwave.

I turned off all sounds on my microwave and surprisingly it's really disorienting. Not having the aural feedback on the buttons pissed off everyone.

I had an old microwave that had a beep but a second after the cycle end so you had a whole second long window to open it peacefully. Beautiful lost technology.
