My only interface complaint with my current microwave is that the turntable doesn’t do a full revolution in an even amount of time. That is, it takes about nine seconds to do a full revolution, but since I put the food in for one minute, or some number of 30-second intervals, the bowl, or cup always ends up away from the front of the oven, so I need to reach in to get it. What’s needed is a variable speed drive that ensures the cup always comes back to the same point at which you put it in, regardless of time.

But, really, I’d put up with almost anything for a microwave that lasted 20 years, like my old microwave did.

Until this day I assumed that everyone put their food in the centre of the turntable, where presumably the cooking power is most concentrated. But now I know that people like you exist.
