The appliance that elicits anger and frustrated at it’s mere sight. The treacherous device that never worked right.

    Hm. Whoever made microwave ovens with an impossible to clean exposed resistance that for broiling in the off chance you felt like making lasagna in a shoebox should be shot into space.

    Everybody below pointing out that repeated beeping noises are unacceptable is also not wrong. It’s gotten to the point where half a dozen different things may be beeping in my kitchen, nobody knows which one it is and everybody is in a reverse-race to ignore them to see if someone else goes to deal with it.

    I once had a dishwasher that opened the door by itself using magnets instead of nagging you like a needy cat and I miss it every day.

      Magnets are brilliant. I had to go really high up the range for mine to have a motor that opens the door at the end of each cycle. It has good energy ratings too but I’m not sure the extra cost will be worth it in its lifetime because the “eco” cycle is like the cheating on the homologation run of cars: it uses so little power and heat nothing gets clean enough if it’s full.
