[Electronics-talk] Talking thermostat for heat pump system

[John Riehl]

Hi, fellow listers. I know that there is at least one model of talking
thermostat available for gas or electric heating systems. Is there a talking
thermostat -- one that announces temperature, etc, available for a heat pump
system? According to the limited research I've done, you can't use the
talking thermostat for gas or electric systems for a heat pump. 
Thanks for the help.

Hi Pete,

Alas, ILA no longer carries any talking microwave ovens.  Shame on them. 
But have no fear.  walmart.com still carries the Hamilton Beach Cook Magic 
talking microwave for only $79 plus shipping.  It's essentially the same 
model ILA used to sell for about $50 less.  You can check it out at:
