Well Graham we'll have to agree to disagree on this one. I think Sunil has
mentioned programming the microwave which some more adventurous folk would want
to do. Also, it takes guess work out of it. Especially after a few pints!

| hi Ray.
|
| It is not that the cost is unbearable. it depends after all how much money
| you get in the first place and whether like me you choose to spend it on
| beer like me!!! (smile)
|
| The point is that really there is absolutely no need for a talking microwave
| and this is probably why the manufacturing of them has ceased.
|
| A microwave with 2 dials, 1 for power and 1 for time could be brailled
| like a washing machine dial is
| often brailled. This solution is cheap. It is not language sensitive and
| if you can change power settings and know what the time is set to, what more
| information do you really need?
|
| If you want the talking stuff I certainly don't want to criticise. why
| should I?
|
| I used to have a moulinex microwave whose controls were clicked
| round so that you could only turn it up in temperature and time stages.
| that was even easier to use. The talking microwaves have warnings
| to take food out and stir etc. but these features are probably useless
| gimics designed for little else than to justify the outragious price tag.
|
| Cheers

| I must comment that, were I unable to see at all, I would personally value a
| talking microwave.
|
| Hope I will not be flamed unduly for saying this, but if you are getting
| DLA, particularly middle rate, is the extra cost of a talking microwave that
| unbearable?

|| for all the benefits a talking microwave brings you are probably better
|| spending about £60 or so for one from a local electrical store (curries,
|| commet etc). just look at one and make sure it has one with a dial rather
|| than a touch pad. You generally find on these you can tell what time you
|| have chosen and what power level. You can if you need to get one of the
|| array of cheap talking clocks available and then basically job done just
| as
|| well for under £100.
