[Electronics-talk] Microwaves

[evelyn weckerly]

Hi, charlene,

I did not saveany of my messages.  Here's the gist of what I 
wrote.

I have an over-the-range microwave from Maytag and have bought 
three other appliances during the first ten years of this 
century.  Whirlpool owns Maytag and a number of other brands.  I 
got Braille overlays for all four from Maytag.  The last I knew, 
Whirlpool had them too, but GE did not at the time.  The 
advantage of getting these overlays is that they are 
printstbraille and therefore easy for sighted assistance to apply 
them if you need or want it.  In addition, you have the 
abbreviations that the manuals use-handy if you have a book 
reader on your computer.

My best advice to you is to go shopping.  Don't forget 
family-owned dealers.  They compete fairly with price and give 
you better service as a rule.  In my case, all appliances were 
held by my family-owned dealer until the Braille came, sent 
directly to me.  The advantage of examining a variety of units 
from various brands is that you are likely to be the most happy 
with a unit that gives you the features and operational set up 
that fits you.

Well, that's more than the gist (smile).

Geards,

Evelyn
