This reminds me of what Don Norman quotes in "living with complexity" around how people buy the microwaves with all the buttons even though it's harder to use.

I would buy a 1-button microwave: enough pushes of the +30s button is all I need.

The two-dial ones of old were the best. Set power dial (or don't touch it if it's already where you want it), turn timer dial. Microwave goes until timer dial hits zero. No "start" button, no cancel, no menus, no preset crap. Just two dials.

I bought mine 5 years ago and it's just like that. I realised that I don't even need a time dial. An on/off switch would be just fine.

now if i could just find one without the fucking clock.

I have one of these [1] which has two features that I like:

- Super simple buttons

- No clock if you don’t set it (it turns off after a few minutes of first power on)
