Uh, yeah, it's got a built-in clock.
Mine does too but even though it (and my oven) tell the time I look at my watch, phone, or the dedicated clock in my living room
it's not just about the microwave returning to clock function. It's also about the microwave being returned to it's normal standby state so that pushing the buttons functions as expected for the next person.
Huh. That's fair.
You sound way too reasonable. What's the catch?
My microwave and oven clocks are never correct because I don't use them.
That sounds like a "you" problem.
I wear a watch so it's not a problem. Actually, what IS a problem is that my microwave is also a convection over / air fryer but they didn't put sufficient thermal insulation around the electronics/display, so the display is slowly getting cooked and the LED segments keep dying one after another. It's becoming difficult to see how much time is remaining when I cook stuff.
Sounds like your real problem is that you bought a piece of garbage.
It was the highest rated microwave + convection oven I could find. Maybe a good one doesn't exist.
Most rating sites are just ads for garbage. I just buy all my appliances from Costco now since they tend to actually vet their products.
Costco is great. I trust their stuff but I bought a ceiling fan from them and I'm about to return it. I'm glad they have a 90-day return policy.
Does your stove not have a clock? They're fairly standard now
Not while it's running.
Neither does the microwave, while it's running.
Mine does.
Even within a few hours of setting it, it's usually off by at least a few hours. My microwave is usually pretty accurate to within a few minutes, even after days.
