[Electronics-Talk] Accessible Toaster Ovens and Deep Freezers

[Jordan Gallacher]

I am also interested in finding out if there are any accessible toaster
ovens out there.  My dad has a toaster oven, but it is completely unblind
friendly, and he even has trouble using his with how it is setup.

Eh, Peter, please don't take this the wrong way, but, why does a deep
freezer need to be accessible?
I mean, it's not like a refrigerator where you don't want it too be cold or
too warm.

I've never understood why freezers have thermostats.  Unless there are ones
that gives one the option to freeze well below zero.
