That's a very constructive comment.
If you look at a lot of modern microwaves the timers keys, as I
explained if you bothered to read, are usually 10min, 1min, 1sec - hence
three timer keys.

I can live to timing to the nearest 10s interval, but my wife is set on
having a 1sec timer...if you are married you understand how much earache
you can get if you buy something that they don't want.

We wouldn't use a lot of the features...usually just use defrost or
basic timer/power level. Any 'proper' cooking is done in a 'proper'
electric oven.
