    My previous microwave oven had a mute button. That thing stayed permanently silent. Unfortunately I have never found a new model that can be muted.

    Cue a Technology Connection video about how old microwave ovens were better.

      I just can’t wait for microwave to have an integration with AI. I just need another internet connected device that can recommend a nice laxative after scanning what it just cooked. Not only that but it could integrate with my smart fridge and make sure that it orders food that is just about to expire from Instacart. And with its partnership with Doordash, the microwave could just stop working and order a replacement meal for me.

      …said no one ever.

      Many if not most microwaves can be muted, but they usually don’t have a special button for it.

      It’s often some secret button combination. READ YOUR MICROWAVE’S MANUAL.

      I’ve got a newer (5yo) Maytag that has a silent mode that you can choose either with end beep or without. It resets every power outage which is my only gripe.
