As promised, a picture of the new microwave:

There’s a low grumble to it. This microwave cooks with authority.

Already noticed one shitty design choice in the part of GE. When you’re cooking something and push the Power Level button, it can’t just simply tell you the power level. It has to scroll, slowly:

The…

…Power Level…

…Is…

…Currently…

…PL-10

DOES IT SEEM THAT THERE’S SOME EXTRANEOUS INFORMATION IN THERE? I pushed the Power Level button not 100 milliseconds ago. “Wait, what was I looking at?” Does it assume I’ve already forgotten what I’m looking for, and thus has to remind me by saying ‘The Power Level is Currently PL-10′? Isn’t simply displaying PL-10 enough? Come to think of it, isn’t 10 enough?
