I already know that if I ever decide to buy a microwave it's gonna take ages to pick one

@noiob I don’t think I’ve ever seen a microwave with popcorn button in Europe

@uint8_t microwave popcorn isn't really that popular here I guess

honestly the #1 thing I want on a microwave is a rotary encoder to set the time, everything else is so inefficient, my parents' has +/- buttons that feel terrible and beep loudly

@noiob yeah a rotary encoder is nice, we have that. Unfortunately this doesn’t support arbitrary time, the minimum unit changes depending on the total time, so I can’t select 115 seconds (ideal for a specific popcorn) just 110 or 120

Something that is an absolute no go for me: Touch buttons without haptic feedback.
