Hi,
I  got a GE microwave back in 2008.  I had heard that they provide Braille  
overlays, so I called up their customer service and was told that no  
overlays were available.  However, they did have sheets containing  every 
possible label that could be applied to any of their microwave  ovens.  The 
customer rep was very friendly and helpful, and she saw  to it that I 
received the label sheet promptly.

I needed a sighted  person to separate and apply the labels, which wasn't 
terribly difficult  to do.  After three years of regular use and cleaning, 
some of the  labels have fallen off, but I suppose that's to be expected, 
so 
one of  these days I'll call up and request another set of labels.  In the  
interim, I've memorized what controls are in the blank spots and,  
fortunately, I don't use them regularly so it's not a huge deal.   Even so, 
I 
think an overlay for the specific model would have been  preferable.

I've heard some say that the GE microwaves aren't as good  as they used to 
be 
way back when, but mine works like a champ, and it's  very powerful.

Tom
