The beep sound for the timer and for the preheating is really bad. And the beep for pressing all the buttons. All the same horrible high pitched way too long beep sound. I’m sorry but they couldn’t have chosen a worse pitch for that sound. The touch pad isn’t sensitive either so you have to hold your finger on it for a while and move your finger slightly this way or that to get the button to press. Otherwise it’s a beautiful appliance and cooks wonderfully.
