MISSION STATEMENT

To supply the global market with a solution to simplify the use of microwaves and prevent overheating and microwave fires because of complicated control interfaces.

THE SITUATION

According to the President (Bob Schiffmann) of the International Microwave Power Institute, “…microwave fires usually start for the same reason… it’s simply due to the food overheating. Food-based fires in a microwave almost always happen because of someone overestimated or mis-entered the cook time. And in an article in The Guardian, Charles Arthur wrote that a writer noted how he looked at an LG microwave with 31 buttons, and a Jenn-Air one with 34 buttons, “…when all I want to do is heat up food for a specified time. The vast majority of the time, I use exactly two of these buttons: ‘add 30 seconds and then Start, Stop/Cancels. So 94% of the buttons are wasting space.”

This innovative concept was created by a Canadian inventor after his concerns about how his mother, who was facing dementia at the time would be able to heat up her meals on her own as she was extremely confused using her microwave oven that she had owned for over 10 years. When he could not find an easy-to-use microwave on the market globally, a microwave intended to be simple for a user with dementia to use, he created this unique and inventive concept. 

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

A microwave that only has one or two buttons to control everything. easy to use, The activation button cannot multiply the heating time, only what it is pre-set as. Pushing the ‘Start’ button will only heat the food for the pre-determined time (e.g. 90 seconds, etc.), reducing the risk of overheating food. The microwave has a continuous flashing light to remind the user that there is heated food in the microwave, as some users may have both memory and hearing challenges. Completed heating sound will continue until the door has been opened, reminding a potentially elderly person who may have forgotten their heated food. Opening the door or stopping the cooking in the middle of a sequence will reset the cooking time to ‘zero’, making it easy to use and reuse.
