[NFB-InTheKitchen] Smart ovens

[Ginger Kutsch]

Thanks Debbie, sounds like Alexa is the way to go. And Jody, thanks for the suggestion re: Amazon oven. I didn’t see that one when searching Amazon but I did see several other options that work with Alexa. 

Best,

Ginger

Hi Ginger,

I put bump dots on everything in the case of an internet outage.

There is an App for cell phones for GE appliances, but honestly I never tried too hard to use it and you can use voice over, but as I recall it wasn’t as user friendly as I had hoped. I admit I didn’t try all that hard to learn the app for 2 reasons; my husband was still alive when we got it and using Alexa was so easy that I didn’t give the app my all.

Hello Ginger,

 

Another option is the Amazon smart oven. It is a combination microwave, air fryer and convection oven. It works with Alexa then you can even get a braille overlay from Amazon.

Thanks so much, I wondered if you could share a bit more about what functions you can use with Alexa? I believe you said you choose not to use Alexa for your broiler so you put lock dots on the screen for that. And can you use SmartHQ with VoiceOver?

I have a GE which I can control with Alexa.

Hello all,

We’re looking to purchase a new gas range. Some of the ovens have Smart features can be controlled by an app and a few are Alexa-enabled. Has anyone used the SmartHQ app used by GE brand, HomeConnect for Bosch, ThinQ for LG, or Alexa-enabled appliances? Or can anyone recommend an accessible range in the mid to high price range…I would like a fan in my gas oven and it seems that only the less expensive models use a membrane control panel. 

Thanks,

Ginger
