      I wear a watch so it’s not a problem. Actually, what IS a problem is that my microwave is also a convection over / air fryer but they didn’t put sufficient thermal insulation around the electronics/display, so the display is slowly getting cooked and the LED segments keep dying one after another. It’s becoming difficult to see how much time is remaining when I cook stuff.

        Is this a thing?!

        Some of the LED segments on my 15-year-old microwave stopped working so now I can’t tell the difference between 5s and 6s.

        I figured the wiring was a dud and just came loose after so many years. Maybe I need to pull out my tinfoil hat!

            Most rating sites are just ads for garbage. I just buy all my appliances from Costco now since they tend to actually vet their products.

              Costco is great. I trust their stuff but I bought a ceiling fan from them and I’m about to return it. I’m glad they have a 90-day return policy.
