  You people have number buttons? I just have buttons for some Watt modes, start, stop and a wheel to adjust the time

    2 dial supremacy, effect and time is all you need.

    Yeah man, most microwaves I’ve seen lately have a “popcorn” button too. Mine has a total of 28 buttons but it’s also a convection oven and air fryer.

      What on earth is 70% power

        You know how when you microwave a hot pocket, burrito, etc. and the outside is lava but the center is still cold or even frozen? Well, microwaves have a power setting. You can set the power generally from 10% - 100%, usually in increments of 10. You can set the power to a lower percentage and give it additional time such that it will cook slower and heat more evenly.

    Not parent, but when a minute isn’t quite enough, 77 seconds might do the trick. Multiples of eleven are quick to enter, and with a simple number with no “minute” button, 66s is easier than 1:00.

      My microwave has a half minute add button, but it takes 2-3 seconds to accept another press of the same button. This condition is not true for any other button on microwave.

      I just manually type in my times now.
