[Electronics-talk] Accessible Microwave?

[Carol Feazell]

Do they still make this one though? I know Magic Chef is often a good brand
and sometimes the old saying "You get what you pay for" can be the operative
concern. You might, for example, get twice as much ife out of a better
product, within reason, of course.

What types of controls does it have? How do you set a specific time?

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
