I seriously hate touch interfaces on appliances. Especially on cooking tops. Please stop it. It's not cool. It's not modern. It's a nuisance. Bring back physical dials and buttons.

@reina I hate when boiling water spills over the controls and causes the whole thing to shut down, because it interprets it as a finger.

Happens to me every. Single. Time.

@akosma When I read through the manual of mine, it seems it shuts down if the control panel gets wet or covered up, so I don't think it registers it as a finger.

But yeah, that sure must be annoying.

@reina well sometimes it changes the temperature setting or lights up other stoves, depending on where the water falls, that’s why it looks like it “thinks” it’s a finger… you get the idea. It’s a disaster anyway.

@akosma Oh, interesting, sounds whack. Mine supposedly just screams at me, but I've only gotten it wet from wiping it with a cloth so idk.

@reina yeah I always have paper towels nearby… you never know when you’re going to have to clean up water.

Also, the thing has a clock/timer, also touch based, that also resets if covered with water. So I use my smartphone instead, otherwise you lose the time information.

Electrolux FTW.

@akosma @reina same experience with Electrolux here. Interestingly my parents in law say they never have any issues (different brand, completely different price range), but perhaps they just do it right ™️. Nayway, never gonna buy an Electrolux stove top again.

@larshesel @reina me neither.
