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 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.

      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.
