I asked if it was larger than a microwave on my second question and it gave it to me…

Is it an oven? 👍 Is it a microwave oven? 👍 Is it a countertop microwave oven? 👍 Can it grill food? 👍 Is it a grill microwave oven? - exceeded the question limit, big reveal, answer was “microwave”. Interesting but I wasted a lot of questions trying to determine what kind of microwave it was because “microwave oven” was not accepted.

That’s weird, it accepted “microwave oven” from me just now. My last two questions were:
Is it some kind of oven? 👍 Is it a microwave oven? Yep you got it!

Even saying “oven” as correct threw me off. Ive never called a microwave an oven or a microwave oven. I was like starting to think maybe it wanted a specific brand of oven, or a synonym like stove

Well actually…
An oven is something you put food in to cook by heating the air inside of it.
A range is the burner portion.
A stove is a combination of the two.
Yes this is pedantic and I agree that they’re often used interchangeably

I had already narrowed the size down to a smallish (I forgot what I used for comparison) electronic cooking appliance so a full oven was already out. “Toaster oven” was negative, so I tried microwave oven route instead.
