I found an option on my Samsung microwave to disable all sounds and it changed my whole world.
Same here. It was a life-changing discovery. Until the power went out and all the settings got reset… Too bad I’m a lazy asshole. Those were some good ol’ days…
I truly appreciate the pic! They’ve been putting in a new housing development nearby, and apparently have no idea how to NOT knock my power out at least once a week (which as a work-from-home programmer is… not ideal). So I am just gonna wait until the blasting calms down before i try to figure it out again lol
Many microwaves have a secret way to turn off the beep. Google how to do it on the microwave you have
Remembering how to disable the beep at 3 a.m. seeems less likely to happen than stopping it early.
Unless you are suggesting to turn off the beep all the time, which is heresy.
to turn off the beep all the time, which is heresy.
It’s lovely! The beep is too annoying for the service it provides.
What? No way, i want my microwave like my phone - absolutely no notification noises
It’s typically holding down 2 or 8, unless you have a shitty cheap one like mine that doesn’t have that option
I was able to turn off the beep on mine. Was no secret though, was explained in manual. Now if I ever get another microwave I’ll know to look up how to turn off the beep.
I have a Toshiba microwave from like 5 years ago. I hold down the 8 button, it beeps to confirm, and then no more beeps. Works great
The beeper on my 41 yr old Microwave died a few years back during a thunderstorm. It was like a dream come true.
The timer display. Although if you listen really closely you can still hear it try to beep, but you have to be standing right next to it in a quiet room.
I was just joking microwave owens usualy are loud as fuck. And Then they add a loud BEEP like you didn’t hear the jet engine shut down aaargh + new BEEP every 30 seconds too for sure.
Why do appliances have to be so noisy. A friend of mine’s washer does a whole song whenever it does anything. We’ll be playing a game and I’ll hear it on his end, chiming away, and he’s just ignores it. I don’t know how.
Like, I don’t even understand the point: if you’re going to jump up and take care of it immediately, you’d probably notice when it’s done, if not, then you’ll get to it when you get to it.
Same with microwaves: if you can’t keep it on your mind for 90 seconds, it can sit in there and chill for ten minutes until you remember you had food nuking.
The only one I appreciate having the long, obnoxious, continuous tune is the oven, since I do not want to forget about that for several hours.
I’ve had an excellent pedestal fan for 10 years for my bedroom. It’s brilliant and does everything you want, but it also has a blazing bright light-up screen to you show it’s on. But I know it’s on as it’s blowing air, I know it’s on oscillate as it’s turning - why does it need to show a neon sign in my bedroom at night with no way to turn it off? Mental.
Precisely.
If I’m so not hungry that i forgot i heated up food then i really didn’t need to eat anyway.
At least give me the option to have it only ding one time.
There’s a simple and cheap answer to this.
A potentiometer.
But that is apparently too much cost for a $200+ product.
Maybe if the appliance were designed by KDE…
My air fryer beeps VERY LOUDLY 5 times when it’s done, the default time is 15 minutes and it beeps for every minute change you do which is so dumb. Most things only need 6-10 minutes so I just start it as is and then set a timer on my phone and keep it in my pocket so I’ll feel it vibrate when the food is done.
