I think mine is older than that. It's an 850 W Moulinex. It has no display. The timer is an electromechanical dial and the power control is also a dial. It has an additional small dial for times under 90 seconds and that is the extent of its sophistication.

I inherited it from my mother who had used it for years.

It is much easier to control than the ones with keypads; if I need extra time I just turn the dial.

Most modern ones allow you to add 30 seconds with just the push of a button.

does not help if one wants overtime that is not a multiple of 30s :)

I have a model with the same features, it sits in one of the kitchen cabinets. I don’t know the brand or model, it’s been cleaned so many times that all prints have been fully erased. Never felt the need to “upgrade” because it works perfectly and is very easy to use.
