I'm one of those who's gone for a cheapo model.  It's got feelable
buttons and I use a separate timer because the timer on the /icrowave
is a dial that spins round ad infinitum.  The only disadvantage is I
have to remember quite a lot about which buttons to press, how many
times and in which order.  But as I use most of the microwave's
functions quite often this isn't a problem for me.
