[Electronics-Talk] Accessible Toaster Ovens and Deep Freezers

[Pamela Dominguez]

Mine is not what you call accessible.  It's usable, though.  It has the 
timer knob, which, if you really want to use the timer, you have to set a 
separate timer.  I just approximate it.  There is a second knob that goes 
between the oven, the convection oven, and bake and broil.  Then there is 
the thermostadt knob.  Toast is all the way to the right on that knob.  I 
really only use it that way.  I don't remember what the other positions are 
on the middle knob that has the different modes.  There are click positions. 
But I use this thing every day.  Pam.

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.
