[Electronics-talk] Accessible Microwave?

[James Aldrich]

Hi again all,

The facts remain, my wife and I have the magic sheff talking oven!  My wife is diabetic and she sometimes has problems reading braille.  This oven is very ruggedly  built!  It has a thousand watts of power! If our washer and dryer could talk as well as the Magic Sheff Talking Microwave Oven,  we'd really be happy!  I highly recommend this oven especially if u don't wish to fiddle with labels on touch sscreens  u can't see or read.  This is up to u.  I also have the narrator which is another of Gerald's favorite products ha!

Jim
