Thanks

There are larger sizes of this tv. In fact when we went to buy ours, the sales guy was going to get us one of the larger ones from the back but we told him that we just wanted the 32- inch. I don't know what the larger sizes. If you have a best buy near you, they would be able to tell you.

I wrote down the name of a business that makes tactile overlays for
appliances. Not sure of the price, but I don't think it was outrageous.
It's DeWitte's Etsy Shop. Google will find it. I think it's on Amazon,
too.
I haven't needed it myself yet, so don't know any details.

Hi,
I didn't have the money for a 400 some odd dollar microwave myself, so, what
I did is go to Walmart yet the Velcro around.things that stick to things and
use the hard one for one and two and three a soft one for numbers four and
five and six the hard once again for seven, eight, nine a soft one for the
number zero and because I have one that the clear and start button are on
each side of the zero I have taken a hard one and put one on each side so
that I can find where that button is.
Also, when you use time cook then you can put a button on one of those, and,
if you cook something like potatoes, pizza, things that I already have a
setting, or blowing something out, you put a button specifically on that,
but because you know where those buttons generally are on the microwave, you
can sort of remember which is which i'm defrosting :-) God not having a
Bluetooth keyboards a pain in the butt.
So anyway, any questions, shoot me an email

Hi,
Maxi-Aids calls them bump dots. But my experience has been that the bump dots from Maxi-Aids don't stick as long as those I have bought from a big box hardware store such as Home Depot or Lowe's. They can also be found, from what I'm told, at Walmart in the hardware department. In the local stores they are identified as furniture bumpers used under glass covered tables or desks or for cabinet doors as bumpers. These stores usually carry a small variety of sizes.
And in my opinion, you don't need to mark all the numbers on the microwave. How often does anyone use the 7, 8, or 9? I have marked the 2, 5, and 0. I know to the left of the 2 is the 1. To the right of the 2 is the 3, and so on. The start and stop/clear should be marked, maybe with different size dots to tell the difference if this is a challenge. If there is an ADD 30 SECONDS or ADD 1 MINUTE button, then they should be marked, too. Good luck.
Annely
