[Electronics-talk] Accessible Stove/oven

[Ashley Bramlett]

Reece,
Uh, sorry its not that simple.
You should do your homework, yes.
But, as I said before flat stoves are the norm. Now what brand has a stove 
top you can still feel the coils?
Name one or more please.
Flat stoves are very common now. So you won't have much choice in your 
apartment
selection if you limit yourself to flat stoves.
IMO, the stove isn't the problem as much. it’s the oven!
With digital ovens on the rise, we cannot program them without seeing the 
screen.
A stove you can feel the burner's heat and make due with it. But an oven, 
you cannot program a screen without looking at it!

Also, reece you have to consider price. Some people cannot just move 
anywhere.
Finally, realize that landlords by law should make accomodations such as 
replacing an appliance.
They may or may not follow it, but it is on the books.
I was told this by many rehab people when I went to the state center and by 
my living skills teacher there.

But ideally if you can afford a place that will have accessible appliances 
built in or can agree with your landlord to replace them this is the best 
option. Otherwise, you make the most of it and live as Gerald is.

This is why you must always do your homework before ever moving into an
apartment or house.  I will never take a place by where the stove's top
burners are those flat kind I have seen before.

Sometimes we accept an apartment where we know something is in accessible
and think somehow we can make it work when in fact we already know it won't.
I don't think its reasonable to ask the land-lord to replace the flat top
stove for a 4 burner stove and I have yet to move in.  Now after seeing the
apartment if the land-lord were to ask me, why I refuse to take the place,
I'll be more than happy to tell him/her so.  Now after that, if they agree
to replace the stove, then we have a an agreement we both can be happy with.
