Hi Henry,

I know that no matter what we purchase, I will be putting braille labels and
maybe bump dots on it.  The biggest issues is finding a model that does not
have the "feather touch" or the dynamic panels.  From there we then have to
find a model that will fit into the existing opening, and has the
self-contained exhaust fan.  Then if we can find one that also is a
combination microwave and convection oven I will know that the stars are
aligned for me this one time.  But I am not holding my breath.

I've already called LG, and although their combination unit had a dial, from
what I could figure out from the phone rep, it was not accessible.
Whirlpool and GE were not open.  The sales reps at Sears don't know a thing.
So if we go anywhere it will have to be to an appliance store, and I prefer
to be armed with some specific models.

Annette

Hi Annette, I hope that you have luck in finding what you want.
If yorse comes to worst, you might have to settle on what ever you can find,
and put bump dots on the panel.
Terry P has a talking micro wave, and a conventional one over the stove that
my Voc Rehab teacher modified for me.
Good luck again.

I usually read any information on the AFB website. It is not totally current
but gives you a place to start. Here is a link to the online article.
