[blparent] Accessible Appliances

Hi Robert.  I think AFB AccessWorld did an article on accessible appliances
a while back.  You might want to check them out.  Hope this helps.

Subject: [blparent] Accessible Appliances

Hi -- happy holidays everyone.  Turns out that we will be replacing several
major appliances -- washer, dryer, dishwasher -- very soon.  For many years,
we have simply muddled through, but I'd like to be smart about purchasing
equipment that either of us can use.  My sweety can see, and I've always
been able to get by in a pinch, but a lot of new appliances have touchpad
controls which might be a challenge.  Surely this is an issue that many
blind people have faced.  Wonder if anyone publishes something like a
Consumer Reports for accessibility of common household appliances.  If there
are other lists/resources devoted to this topic, I'd appreciate a pointer.
A couple of weeks ago, I posted a question about how to deal with a diabetic
partner and got steered to an excellent resource -- thanks.

Best wishes to all,

--Robert
