Modern cars piss me off too. STFU already! If I wanted to drive with a nag I’d get married.
I lucked out with my new Panasonic microwave (bought last year). It gives a short beep-beep when the cooking is done. There’s no nag beeps afterward.
Like other posters, I ignore the sensor cook mode. I’ve used timer mode for over 25 years. I know how long it takes to heat food.
We had a couple short power failures this week. Microwave won’t work until I set the time. Thankfully, there’s no date to enter.
I love the kitchen timer on the microwave. Something my old Litton didn’t have.
Please explain the Oedipus thing.
You see, when a mommy and a son love each other very much…
sigh I walked right into that one, didn’t I?
My microwave is faboo. It beeps once when the food is done and then silence. Plus I don’t have to reset the time when the power goes out to use it! I love my microwave. Just not in that way…
I think the idea is that the microwave is the deformed, mentally challenged, inbred child of a mother and son. At least, that was the first thing that made sense to me.
Maybe the microwave poked its eyes out.
No, no. The microwave is the spawn of Oedipus, not Oedipus himself.
The microwave leads its blind father around by the hand, until the daddy microwave beeps its last.
I have a Sharp microwave. I like it. It’s smart.
I took a microwave to college and used it almost exclusively to nuke AOL CDs. Run water over the disk, place it print side down, and microwave it for a few seconds. It makes a nice little electrical storm. Then make popcorn.
I thought he may have meant “motherf’ing”, however he threw “spawn of” in there, so I guess that’s more of a child of a motherf’er which I didn’t think was quite as bad, just a little “special”.
In un-PC terms, his microwave is retarded.
(or what Big T said)
Boy, I hear ya there - when I used to pick up my daughter from work, all I wanted was to sit in the carpark with the radio on and the door open , but Noooo - beep, beep, beep “your door is open - you can’t listen to the radio with the door open!” Whose life is it anyway?
Oh, and I still have my microwave from 15 years ago (Sharp) - I don’t wanna change it for the very reason the OP has suggested.

Model number, please?
My current microwave is a Sharp, which replaced my previous Sharp. The nagging on the new one is louder than the actual ‘food’s done’ beep.
It takes you longer than nuking cheap ass soup? You’re doing it wrong.
Does it rotate the food while cooking? One of the microwaves at work does what you are describing and I think the reason it keeps running even after the time is up is to get the food back to the orientation in which it was originally placed in there, i.e. if you put a mug in with the handle facing out then it will finish with the handle facing out.
This is for when you want to cook around the Daylight Savings Time changes. Then it knows when the soup you’re making is either done for an hour or will travel back in time.
PS - Don’t put an almanac in there.
Panasonic NN-SD978S bought it last June at Best Buy to replace my dying Litton. It beeps when the cooking is done. There’s no nag beeps afterward. It is full sized just like the old Littons were. I don’t like the compact counter-top models.

Then you’ve got an Odysseus microwave. Which is good and bad. It’s really smart but you end up waiting years for your food because you didn’t check the directions.
