[Electronics-talk] Accessible Microwave?

[Pamela Dominguez]

Yes, my braille is sliding, and falling.  The stuff that is still on is 
somewhat out of place, some of it, and I have to poke around until I can 
find out where it will beep when I press it.  I don't like the dial ones, 
because you cannot set them as precisely as the ones with the "buttons".  I 
put the word buttons in quotes, because if you can see, they are buttons, 
but if you can't see, well, the joke's on you!  Pam.

Hello:

No, they discontinued that a few years ago.  I would have loved to get the
talking one but, my budget couldn't afford almost $400.  I didn't want to
struggle trying to put Braille labels on a flat screen.  I've also learned
from past experience that the labels don't stay on very well, especially
when you try to wipe off the front with a damp cloth.   In desperation I did
a web search for microwaves with dials and came up with one site.  I ended
up getting one with dials from www.compactappliances.com.  It has two dials.
The top goes from low to high turning clockwise and the bottom is the timer
with the dial turning clockwise.  I used a talking timer until I got used to
how far to turn the knob to the desired time.  You may not want it though
because it is only 700 watts.  I just leave things a bit longer than you
would in a more high powered oven.

hi
  There is a Panasonic which has five preset buttons with a touch pad.  The
five buttons can do many things although they don't talk.
