Why do appliances have to be so noisy. A friend of mine's washer does a whole song whenever it does anything. We'll be playing a game and I'll hear it on his end, chiming away, and he's just ignores it. I don't know how.
Like, I don't even understand the point: if you're going to jump up and take care of it immediately, you'd probably notice when it's done, if not, then you'll get to it when you get to it.
Same with microwaves: if you can't keep it on your mind for 90 seconds, it can sit in there and chill for ten minutes until you remember you had food nuking.
The only one I appreciate having the long, obnoxious, continuous tune is the oven, since I do not want to forget about that for several hours.
I do understand this. I have been known to leave a pizza in the oven for two, three, twelve hours.
But aren't you asking for a continuous alarm and not just a little chirp. Like, turn off the goddamn oven, not empty the dishwasher
I've had an excellent pedestal fan for 10 years for my bedroom. It's brilliant and does everything you want, but it also has a blazing bright light-up screen to you show it's on. But I know it's on as it's blowing air, I know it's on oscillate as it's turning - why does it need to show a neon sign in my bedroom at night with no way to turn it off? Mental.
Oof, that sounds like an insta-return for me.
Precisely.
If I'm so not hungry that i forgot i heated up food then i really didn't need to eat anyway.
At least give me the option to have it only ding one time.
That should be a diet tip: if you forgot that you were going to eat something in 90 seconds, you didn't need to eat it
There's a simple and cheap answer to this. A potentiometer.
But that is apparently too much cost for a $200+ product.
Maybe if the appliance were designed by KDE...
Oh, it's to simple, is it?
