It beeps when it’s done.
It beeps when you press the button.
It beeps when you place it on the base.
But today, it beeps no more.
I classify this as a repair.

I am so done with kitchen appliances fucking beeping at me. The only beeps I accept is the one to let me know I didn’t close the freezer. My stove does not need to beep when it’s turned on, beep when a plate is selected, then beep with every step of temperature increase. Don’t even get me started on the microwave, when it is done heating, it just keeps beeping forever, LOUDLY.
Like, FUCK YOU I WILL COME WHEN I SO GOD DAMNED PLEASE. One ping only please. Jesus it infuriates me.
This seems to be the problem with the tech trend of removing tactile knobs or actual buttons.
Now we have these “touch” screens that can only provide feedback through annoying beeps, because you can’t feel them or hear them click anymore.
My electric kettle for example has a lever to press down and start it. No beeps needed, because when it’s done you hear the mechanism click off as the lever returns to its off position.
On the other hand my air fryer can get fucked with that one “everything knob”. I’ve accidentally turned it a smidge many times pressing it in to start. This resets all the settings that I have to dial back in and makes me want to yeet the fucker out the window.
if only they used the same damn knobs they used in the 1980s. what measured analog resistance instead of checking for bumps and shit. there’s a damn chip in there, use it to convert the analog to digital. the analog dials have SO MUCH BETTER tactile response.
I know right?! Knobs are the best; I love feeling them with my hands. Nothing can replace the tactile satisfaction of a good knob. Instant feedback when you give it a twist, with ridges and texture for your pleasure.
Sometimes I find knobs can get a bit stiff, you really have to give them a good jerk when that happens.
My 20 year old microwave has multiple beeps? Like soft ones when you press stuff, a couple of loud ones when it’s done. Some acoustic feedback is nice.
My recent kitchen appliances just beep the same volume regardless of what’s happening. To loud when using the device, to soft to properly notify you when completing a task. That air fryer experience hits close to home. Fuck modern appliances. Although my new washing machine is a shitload more efficient.
I don’t want smart tech, I want old fashioned pre 2008 dumb tech. Just make it home assistant compatible, kthx.
But then how will the multinational corporations be able to get your data? 🥺👉👈
Wait shit, the face is supposed to be first? I’ve been 👉👈 🥺ing like an idiot
We’re so buried in our phones. Instead of giving someone a real smile, we send an emoji. I mean, we don’t even look at porn at our computer anymore, we look at it on our PHONE?
Someone needs to get spanked
Well someone is gonna have to do it!
RTFM, there might be settings to stop the beep.
How dare you.
Rage the fucking machine?
Oh the fucking microwave. Newer ones supposedly have a setting to turn off the beep but mine doesn’t. It constantly beeps when it is done which is a delight if I’m in the bathroom trying to excremeditate.
I hate the beeps too, but these are ultimately accessibility and safety features. Disabled folks may use these beeps to sus out what the appliance is doing.
Maybe so, but give me a way to turn off the beeps then. I’m not disabled, and don’t need my airfryer to yell at me for every single minute I adjust its timer.
Fair enough, and I agree mostly, but the issue is if they are able to be turned off that means they can be turned off accidentally. How would they be re-enabled by someone who already has trouble with dexterity, vision, etc.
Give me a switch to turn with a coinslot on the back, I don’t care how convoluted it has to be, there are ways to do it.
You can make me have to sing a karaoke cover of “Achy Breaky Hearth” in perfect tune while holding the airfryer upside down, while flipping the power on and off in perfect sync with “Through fire and flames”, if that’s the distance we have to go, to make sure some poor blind person doesn’t accidentally mute it.
What’s wrong with making it optional?
I can’t use half my kitchen when having a migraine.
I await your explanation of how the second and fifth beeping after a microwave stops is accessibility or safety. Other than the designers conflating microwave ovens and oven ovens.
and like all accessibility features they should be removable
Actually it’d be quite nice if stoves and ovens made a noticeable background sound when they were on. Like something pleasant, but noticable, so you don’t accidentally leave them on.
Does not help. If you don’t notice the burner is hot, you’d think the flame would be obvious. It’s not
My new stove beeps when it is on but there’s no pan which seems like a good idea at first, but that means it yells at me when I pick a pan up such as to help the butter or oil spread around
i’d at least want to be able to program how i got yelled at. if i’m getting yelled at in a kitchen it doesn’t feel right in bitcode. can we at least train the stove to wave a knife around while it yells at me?
