    I don’t get the thing with microwaves, at least where I live, all cheap microwaves have mechanical timers, electronic microwaves are a premium product and cost more.

      It seems like I saw a couple bottom end underpowered microwaves that are still mechanical, but most here are electronic. Certainly any with useful power (1100-1200w@120v) are electronic. Anything larger that on a single plate are electronic. I don’t know idpf that means I’m looking at premium products, but almost all here are.

      So I have all these buttons I almost never use, all these useless programs. I have to admit the “auto-defrost” program on my current one works really well, but aside from that, I mostly use “+30s”

        I find that 700w is enough, I can do anything on it from heating tea to making pizzas and lasagnas.

        All microwave food packages says to heat at 700w anyway.

          Huh. Here I believe food packages tend to assume 1100w, so anything lower is slow
