Mine just sets a timer for 3 minutes. Luckily that seems to perfectly cook the brand of popcorn I buy, so it's fine lol
Mine does 2 mins 30 seconds. Which is about 30 seconds too slow. So I just press +15 sec. twice and perfect every time 😄
Damn, my nightlight probably has more watts than your microwave.
are you sure it does not work with other brands. Its supposed to use humidity sensors.
That's essentially what the video is about, there are two (technically three) types of popcorn buttons, ones that use a humidity sensor, ones that have a pre set time based on average popping time of bags of certain sizes, (and super fancy ones that have the humidity sensor as well as a sound sensor that listens for the "x number of seconds between pops" sound sensor)
I find it insane that people can't even be bothered to spend a couple minutes in front of an appliance.
Microphones to listen to corn pop? Really?
I have a really cheap microwave. I doubt it has a humidity sensor. And it puts 3 minutes on the clock as soon as you hit the button, so the time isn't dynamic at all
