[Electronics-Talk] Looking for Microwave Recommendations

[Andrews, David B (DEED)]

Like you I have a Hamilton Beach, and like it.  Mine is 12 years old -- and still works, but not as well as it once did. So I will be facing the same choices.  One possible option is that there are several microwaves out there that can be run using Amazon Alexa. I don't know how well they work, but this is an option. You also may be able to make your own marking system for a microwave oven.  I did this for my stove and its oven.

Subject: [Electronics-Talk] Looking for Microwave Recommendations

Hello everyone. My beloved Hamilton Beach talking microwave bit the dust after 12 years of service. I know those are no longer made. I don't have/refuse to pay $400 for a Magic Chef one and realy don't feel I need all those bells and whistles. I don't necessarily need a talking microwave. I just can't manage a flat panel like all the ones today seem to come with. I think I read somewhere once upon a time that some companies offered braille overlays that you could send off for. Does anyone know of these or have any other recommendations? Thanks.
