[Electronics-Talk] Panasonic microwaves with physical buttons

[Brad Hodges]

Colleagues:


Here is the content of a message I sent several months back describing 
what might be some useful microwaves. I can't vouch for the availability 
of the model I saw at Sams.


Colleagues:

I was doing some shopping at my local Sam's Club earlier today, and to 
my delight     and amazement I ran across a Panasonic microwave with 
actual push button controls.

Before getting to excited, please note that the model which follows 
appears to refer to an inaccessible unit on Amazon, so this is only at 
Sam's. See below for other ideas from Amazon.

There are remarkably few controls on the Sam's microwave which are de 
vided between 2 sections on a conventional right-hand control pad.

The buttons are quite long and narrow and feel at first touch as if they 
are continuous. They are not, having small separations between.

I can provide a photo of the box if that is of use.

 From Amazon there appear to be 2 additional Panasonic Microwaves with 
physical buttons.

The controls all appear to be actual buttons. The number pad has round 
buttons with function controls using square buttons above and below the 
number pad.

Controls are similar to those described above for the unit from Sam's club.
