Has anyone ever heard of a microwave that can tell if someone is attempting to run it empty and beep or turn off or otherwise protect itself?
Elderly relatives appear to have broken a microwave by running it empty for a while.
It seems like "microwave beeps if empty or turns off" would be an obvious safety feature.
But all I can find is manuals that say "don't ever do that".
Apparently not understanding how distracted elderly people can be.
