We very rarely use the microwave, it's mostly used as a cat proof box when defrosting stuff but it's on it's way out. I can't grumble, it's about 15 years old.

My biggest grumble with the current one is that when it's finished it'll beep. It'll then beep again every minute until ther door is opened. I find that a real pain in the backside so I'd like recommendations for a microwave oven that doesn't do that. I know a unit with a rotary dial would most likely not do it, but that'd look out of place in our kitchen.

Why is the beeping a problem? Yesterday I cooked a piece of frozen coley for the cat but I want to cook it then leave it to cool down in the microwave. After I put it on to cook I answered the phone and the range on my bluetooth headset isn't long enough to let me cancel the beeping without losing the connection to my phone.

So then, recommendations please. I don't think we need anything too special, I don't need a grill and amd not looking to spend more than a couple of hundred quid at the most.
 
I would have a look at the online manual for any that you are thinking of buying and see if they offer this mode.

Great idea, I'll do that.

I started by looking at Panasonic, however:

Can I turn off the beeping sound of the microwave?

The beeping sound cannot be deactivated on any of our microwave ovens.

I'll check some others. The beeping is a deal breaker.
