I’ll do you one better a single dial microwave that even my 5yo could use I bought in 2017 [1]
Commercial grade. No rotating dish but still warms everything nicely. Pain for defrost but honestly I just don’t defrost stuff much.

I migrated our house to a "commercial" variant of the microwave oven [1] as I was tired of all the over-engineering and annoying patterns in modern microwaves.
This microwave has exactly UI element other than the door - a digital dial that goes from 10s-6m. No start/cancel, no power level, no defrost, no program mode. I don't "cook" using the oven, only reheat or very rarely heat/boil small quantities of water.
The microwave beeps only once after complete and it's not incredibly loud.
Despite my kids literally abusing this device, it's been rock solid for 7+ years. Amusingly my company started putting these same exact models in our office break/kitchen areas a couple years after I bought mine.
