Microwaves with a Melody When It's Done, Rather than Just Beeps?

Unusual request: does anyone have a microwave they could recommend that has a friendly melody rather than just a flat BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP, please? Preferably in the < $200 price range.

Need to buy one in a household with someone who prefers friendlier audio from their appliances 😅

      Also known as the LG 2.4 GHz No Wi-Fi.

      It pairs nicely with my LG RWMNCFG (Rusty Washing Machine No Corporate F***s Given).

      • Maybe it's the LG EMPChef?

      • Please explain? Is there some flaw with the Neochefs?

          Dont watch your ipad/wifi device on the same kitchen bench where the microwave is, it seems to interrupt the signal, at least more so than other microwaves I've had.

          • @Brian McGee: Interesting…

            I've got 2 unifi access points in the house which provide great coverage however I have seen some devices such as nest hubs disconnect and they never end up reconnecting until power cycled. Always thought it was related to buggy unifi firmware or badly designed wifi client devices, will look into the timing of the dropouts and microwave usage patterns in future lol.

        • Many (most? all?) microwaves emit noise at ~2.4 GHz which is one of the frequency bands used by Wi-Fi. Depending on where your microwave and Wi-Fi AP are located, you can have significant network issues when running the microwave.

      • Not limited to LGs my old Panasonic does the same too

      LG Nechef owner here. The "finished" melody reminds me of the intro jingle from Fawlty Towers

    • Thanks, found a video and it's the kind of thing we're looking for :) the upvotes seem to agree with your "of choice around here"

      • Tip: don't set the clock. Allows you to have a nice clean look to the front with nothing on the display

          Honestly we're pretty time-blind around here so the more clocks the better 😂

  • LG plays a nice tune and plays it a minute later to remind you

    Get a Samsung. You can mute all the sounds. Bliss.

    Microwaves without any noise at all?

    Beeps and boops annoy the bajeebus out of me.

    • have a look at the manual, fairly sure most can be disabled.

    • Not looking for silent, we'd forget our food in the microwave daily with no tone at all lol

    that has a friendly melody

    You know when products has gone beyond the phase of being a commodity…

    This may become the milk equivalent of I just want milk that tastes like milk.

    • Pretty sure the milk equivalent of "I just want milk that tastes like milk" is… "I just want milk that tastes like milk" :p

    This would be my nightmare.

    • Yep… I turn off the beep!

  • Bruh, everytime I microwave something in my NeoChef and it finishes I want to beat my head agaisnt the wall… it gets old after the first 100 times you hear it
    .

  • My folks have one, sounds like a video game high score, personally I find it hilarious. Will edit when they can tell me what brand and make
