Microwave oven control is one of the main criteria for the selection of such a device. There are three types of microwave controls, regardless of their brand or model.

The simplest and most traditional type is mechanical, which works with the help of handles without an electronic display. As a rule, this method of control is used only in cheap models of equipment.

The push-button control method is carried out using buttons that set various parameters. With this control, it is also possible to program the microwave.

Well, the last type is touch. Microwave ovens with such control do not have any protruding elements on the panel. The touch type of control also makes it possible to program the cooking procedure.

According to the statistics of reviews from many consumers, the most popular can be considered the mechanical and touch type of control. Let’s look at the main pros and cons of these types of microwave oven control.

Ovens with touch type of control.

Thanks to the touch control panel, users can program the device and prepare more complex dishes. For convenience, you can choose one of the options that are built into the memory of the mechanism. In order to prepare a delicious dish, you just need to click on the display and select the type of ingredient and its weight. All further operations the microwave oven will perform itself.

With frequent power surges, as well as with careless handling of users, the technique can break down. In such situations, the microwave simply stops performing the specified modes or does not function properly. Replacing the microwave control panel of this type will not be very cheap, so not all users can afford such repairs.

Microwaves of mechanical type.

This model is very simple and popular among consumers. By turning two round knobs, you can set the power of the device and the cooking time. Many consumers still adhere to the stereotype that electronics serve less than mechanics. The disadvantage of such devices is that the handles that stick out on the panel interfere with cleaning the device. Some models of such microwave ovens can work until the timer is turned off, even if the food was taken in advance.

Before giving preference to one of these models, it is better to think in advance about which tasks you need the microwave most. If you are only going to heat food, then a model with a mechanical type of control will be enough for you. Well, lovers of culinary gourmet dishes better buy an oven with a touch control method.
