What's weird is it seems like for a long time now I haven't seen "self setting" clocks on retail shelves in a while at big box stores. Everyone went back to just manual timekeeping and I haven't seen a self-setter in a hot minute.
I really wish microwaves and ovens came with radio-controlled clocks.
While the mains frequency is usually a great (long-term) stable frequency source, the bigger problem is that all microwaves I know lack a backup battery and require re-setting after unplugging them.
I recently bought 2 of them.
You have to specifically look for the feature. Most do not have it.
