[Electronics-Talk] revisiting washers and dryers

[dandrews920 at comcast.net]

I have a Samsung, and I can run it from the app mostly. You have to power it
up from the front panel though, and also start it from the dryer itself. I
had to add Braille, as there was none on the model I bought. They do have a
little Braille on some models.

I haven't paid much attention to the discussion, not knowing that I would
impulsively decide to move back to California and buy a home here. So, the
owners are taking their laundry appliances, and I am looking for accessible
solutions. Here are some specifics.

I particularly want front-loading machines.
I've heard LG can be accessible with an app on my iPhone. Is that correct?
Will that also work with Alexa?
What about Samsung? Is it the same. The units are just about the same for
sighted users.
Are there basic styles with knobs and buttons still?

Thanks for any info and for being willing to discuss this topic again!
