What EXACTLY does the dial do? I've read reviews where some people hate it and others love it, but I don't understand it's function.

You can key in minutes or use the dial by rubbing your finger on it to dial the time desired. Not a big feature but is easy to use. Good unit with fast cooking and large cooking area. Does really well for defrost as it does not cycle like other brands, defrosts evenly.

The dial and buttons both can do the same functions so you can use the one you like. I mostly use the buttons old school. The inverter is the best feature anyway, that and the power. Great machine btw.

Using your finger, you swipe the dial surface in a circular fashion to rotate options...depending on the mode you are in, it could be time (in minutes) or numbered preset cook modes

If you wish to set time other than the presets you move your finger pad around in a clockwise or anticlockwise fashion to set it. It is very similar to an old iPod. The dial does not move. The kids picked it up quickly I only had problems getting used to adjusting the rate of finger movement to get the same time reliably. Honestly I don't know what the fuss is about unless you really like entering numbers on a keypad (then don't get this model). I have heard it can adjust power but the machine itself automatically adjusts. The biggest problem we had was dialling down the times since it was more powerful than the microwave it replaced.

It Has a variable speed dial, that you can set to a maximum speed, & then the harder you press the trigger switch it will accelerate up to that maximum speed that you dialed in. So it is very useful because you can adjust the speed by 2 settings. Thanks, & hope this helps..........Brian

I had the same problem with the instructions. So instead of simply repeating what the instructions say, I'll attempt to explain for anyone having the same questions I did. The white circle surrounding the AM/PM dial are the pins. I didn't realize this at first, since it just looks like it's part of the dial. Assuming you have the dial facing directly at yourself, set the time frame you want the power off by pulling the pins out TOWARDS you (NOT north/south/east/west). This would have been obvious if the instructions has simply included a basic sketch of the device's pins, but I guess that was just too much trouble. I had the same problem with the instructions.

It's on an timer ... It will run ... Cycle on and off until it has finished its cycle ... Then it auto shuts off. You can also turn it off using the dial.

I don't know. I always used my thumb to spin the dial clockwise and it worked fine.

the dial can pop out a bit. make sure the center face is pushed in. if it still doesn't work, return it.

I can only imagine that the circular time dial is not securely connected to the timer shaft. There is a philips head screw that attaches the dial to the shaft. My guess is that the clock shaft is turning and that since the dial is not 'connected' to the shaft, that it is not advancing in time...so take off the dial, examine how it connects/interlocks to the shaft and then re-install it.

You just twist the dial so it's not on the "0" position. They may have sent you a bad battery ?

The red light indicates when it is on. The dial allows you to set the temperature that you need. I use it in a leopard gecko cage. I also have a temperature gauge to monitor the temperature which is accurate. I can hear it click on and off which doesn't bug me. It reassure me it's still working.

There is a "dial", where you select one of 5 settings. Really simple mechanism.

I don't know anything about the bad reviews. Mine works fine. I have a pulse dial line even though my phones will do both(pulse and tone) if you follow directions for installationyou should have no problem. when ever the telebouncer answers you pick up the phone to talk sometimes the recording may not respond right away when you start to speak.The recording is suppose to turn off when it hears a voice. This is the only thing that may not work right all the time. This is a minor problem .That is the only problem I have had and ninety five percent of the time this works also.

I don't believe it's function is to tell you exactly what passage to be on rather it allows you to track your time and pace yourself on each passage. The purpose of this watch is to time exactly how much time given for each section so hat you can keep track of if you need to speed up or if you can take your time. I hope this answers your question!

When you turn the light off, there is a small on/off light above the dial that stays on. Also not sure if it is noted anywhere, but you cannot have just one color on this. The colors rotate. It is pretty and works great though!

It is near the speaker on the left next to the off button. You manually control the dial.

The temperature is from cool to very hot, the dial lets you put it anywhere you want, I keep it in the middle(medium) and am able to increase it or decrease it as much as I want, hope this helps.

No speed dial that I know of, it has a caller id log & directory that you can create. I honestly dont know about speed dial, not a feature that i use. Sorry if this doesnt help!

It does NOT have a 'normal' volume control dial. It has a tiny number button on the side of the device, that you slide from #1, to # 2 up to #4, that kind of controls the amount of sound. If you crank the volume on the device you are connecting it to, then it can work - but it's not the best. I have never seen any volume control like that before - very weird.
