i can set my microwave to not make any beeps by holding the 8 button down for a few seconds.
I feel like I am the opposite. If I set it to a specific time, then I feel I have committed to letting the food cook for that entire time and will not stop it early even if I think it looks like it’s done already.
No, I don’t get that urge. Ours takes awhile to get things where I like it. If I make 3 cups of rice I leave it in there for 17 minutes 😬
Yeah. My microwave makes five beeps whenever the timer runs out, regardless if I open the door or not.
In terms of appliance beeping aggravation, I’ve yet to have one that tops an old slow cooker I had. When you turned it on, it just had a beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep that lasted for multiple seconds and made me want to throw it out the window every time I had to use it. It was like a goddamn siren alerting the whole apartment complex to the possibility of pot roast in 4-8 hours.
No. I like to stop it right as it hits 0 on the first beep if people are around, but if I’m by myself I wait for it to stop beeping.
No. But my wife does and doesn’t reset the display so it’ll just show 3 rather than the time.

Ofc. Otherwise it beeps.
Turn off the beeps, it’s the only way
I tried every combo and magic trick I could find and mine will not. Sadge.
Yes.
My LG microwave sings to me when it finishes. So I don’t mind it at all. And it’s only 3-5 seconds long
Of course! I’m not going to let a fucking oven tell me when my food is ready. Fuck you, Skynet, this is how the rebellion against the machines starts!
god forbid we let people customize these things. we’ll jam AI into the fucking appliances before we let people have actual QOL advancements.
Yeah because the thing beeps as if the house is on fire. I’d rather have it stay silent. And 1-3 seconds is not really enough to have any measurable effect.
I have kids that I enjoy keeping asleep. There is no reason for that fucking beep to ever occur.
That’s what I thought but my wife needs it or she constantly forgets warm beverages in the microwave.
Nominating for best of out-of-context comments.
Is that really out of context? Maybe it’s also because I am a parent, but that was my immediate reaction to the post. Death to all things that beep loudly!!!
Many models have the option to turn off the beeps
But why won’t the noise turn off as soon as you open the door?
I time it right so that I can run towards the microwave “in slow motion” and pretend I’m stopping a bomb from going off, 1 second before it blows. My kid loves it. 🤷♂️
