[Electronics-talk] Talking Microwave

[Gerald Levy]

The Magic Chef talking microwave sold by Blind Mice Mart is a completely 
different model than the Cook Magic talking microwave that used to be sold 
by ILA.  The Cook Magic was a mainstream unit made by Hamilton Beach that 
happened to have built-in speech .  The larger Magic Chef unit is a 
specially modified unit that is sold only by blind-products merchants, which 
may account for its high price.  I believe this unit is manufactured by LG.
