Musical Microwave: Replacing Beeps with a Beat

Why is this man staring pensively at his microwave? He's not waiting for it to beep. No, he's waiting for something else, and if you click through and watch this very unusual microwave ad, you'll see what.

Yes, this microwave will sing to you. In fact, it will play whatever music files you want it to, thanks to a handy-dandy USB slot.

This was created in a special limited edition, but apparently will hit the market again soon as a fully available product.

What do you think? Would you upgrade your microwave if it also offered the ability to be, um, a boombox?

I don't know, I think it's kind of cool... I already have my alarm set to radio, or my phone playing a nice ringtone. The fewer things yelling BEEP BEEEP BEEEEP at me, the better.

If it weren't a safety hazard, I'd say let's overhaul the fire alarm next.

I hate the beep beep beep...but this kind of fills me with existential despair. All of our creative and technical expertise has come to this? Besides your favourite song might become just as annoying as BEEP BEEEP BEEEEP - is that what you want?

Or you start automatically salivating when you hear your favorite song played on the radio...it's not a flawless system, it's true!

I really, really hate the beeps on my microwave. They bother me so much I watch the clock fanatically and ALWAYS stop it 2-3 seconds before the cycle completes, just to avoid hearing them. However, I choose to simply limit my microwave use (it's much easier than you think!) and I would never buy this product. Not only would it be a waste of my money to buy a new microwave when the one I have works perfectly, but the product is rather silly. The commercial, which I actually think is great, lauds it as some revolutionary idea, but, really, it's just a clock radio that cooks things: )

My microwave doesn't play music, but it has an option to turn off ALL beeps. You can bet I take advantage of that!

If you want to listen to the whole song your food will be cold. Repeat.
