[Blindtlk] accessible dishwashers?

Fri May 16 17:27:24 UTC 2014

We just bought a new Whirlpool dishwasher.  It has buttons.  I did have to
put Braille on them, but now I can operate it by myself.  It is model
WDT-710-PAYH  It is quiet.  It is in the ninety-third per centile for
cleaning the dishes.

Mine is two squarish tubs built into a counter top. My wife tells me that it
remains very accessible. I sure wish they'd update it, so it was less so.
Seriously, I haven't bought a dishwasher in ten years. The best thing you
can do is to go to an appliance store and look. I would start with one that
is owned locally, since they will be of the most help, and more anxious to
make the sale. It may cost more in the short run, but I think you'll be
happier in the long run.

Many years ago, General electric made some dishwashers that had little
roughened squares covering each membrane switch so that they were easily
felt and the menu sequences were fixed and quite useable. When I was looking
for a home seven years ago, I saw a new home with a dishwasher like that.
However, the house was sloppily put together (cracks in the walls from
settling) so I didn't buy it.

Good question.  Mine's an Amana and I have bumpdots on the most important
parts of the touch pad.  It's been quite reliable and there is no timeset
because all you do is push start and that's that.  You could easily  put
brailled tape on it.  I think mine is five or six years old.  Sorry I don't
have the model number to help you out more.
