My dearest Lemmy, what is the appliance you have the most beef with? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

The appliance that elicits anger and frustrated at it's mere sight. The treacherous device that never worked right.

Wait what do US microwaves do? Play the national anthem?

Newer ones have way too many digital buttons and a loud repeating beep when finished. Even newer ones, probably Bluetooth or something

Want to set up your microwave with Alexa for plenty of cool tricks, but didn’t know how to pick the best microwave that works with Alexa?

Having an Alexa compatible microwave in your kitchen, you can control the microwave and adjust the cooking setting simply via Alexa’s voice control feature.

Speaking for myself, I don't really want Internet dependency, much less a microphone sending data to the Internet on my appliances.

Yeah, you still have to put the food into the microwave, might as well just press the button there too.
