I need a 'quiet ' microwave

hilary1

I cannot stand the beeping sound from pressing buttons on a microwave.

I have one now that bleeps with every button, 3 beeps half way through defrosting, 3 beeps when the times up and then it continually 3 beeps until you open the door.

Its driven me insane............

Are there any that dont make any noises?

Everything HAS to beep at you nowadays.

Last week I took the bread out of the breadmaker, thinking 'that loaf is quite pale' - then I realised it was the "beeping" washing machine that I had heard !!

i totally agree and if I had the money, I might buy something like this

has 4 sound levels so you can lower it down - we can only dream...:D

why dont they have a choice of sound on or off like phones?

my mum had a clock once that you could turn the tick off. I used to turn it off when I visited and she could tell as soon as she walked in - then turned the tick back on. She said it was comforting???

I dont think I should tell you this but.......15 years ago I had ( and I might add am still using now) a microwave oven that had a really loud beep.
I errrrmmm took the back off and stuck 2 bits of electricians tape over the beeper.......that quietened it down !!!!!!

I bought a Panasonic microwave after replacing my Hitachi one which I had used for 15 years !
The annoying thing about the Panasonic one is that after you heated anything and close the door, the fan carries on for another 1 minute and it seems like the microwave is on heating again. It apparently cooling the elements. Soooo annoying !!!

the door automatically opens on mine when it is done. sometimes it scares the life out of me! I cant wait for it to stop working so i can have one that doesnt do that.

I need one of these - where can I get one? Or just a silent one???? Bought a clock from Lidl this week and the tick is almost louder than OH's snoring!! :rotfl:
