Hi Carol

As I spin the dial, it doesn't click, but I know where to point as I treat it like the hand on a clock. The other dial for power settings has four clicks for different heat settings, and I rarely use it. I personally think a microwave like that is just as good for the price as being charged £200 or thereabouts for the Cobolt version.

Kind regards,

Jackie Brown

So, you can tell by the dial which positions you're in? Do they click around?

Hi Carol

No, no marking required on our unit because the dials are obviously
positioned when you use them.  To be honest, none of our appliances are
marked which is proof that there is life in tactile equipment! (smile).

Have you had to put on bump-ons that maybe don't stay, or found another way
to mark them accurately?

Hi Carol

Ours is a small ordinary machine with two dials on it. One allows you to
turn it to however many minutes you want, and the other dial is for
varying
the power.  Both dials are mechanical and have points on them which you
can
feel. It only cost £60, but it does what we need for heating up porridge etc. My Cobolt microwave didn't last that long for the little use it had,
and I prefer this model as it is nice and quiet without all the chatter
first thing in the morning! (smile).  If you are in the market for
something
that basic, I'll get the model for you, I can't remember offhand.


Kind regards,

The RNIB have started to supply and, it's a bit vague, but I think it's
probably the same old microwave at the same old price, and I can't
remember
what that is off the top of my head.

We are considering looking for a replacement elsewhere and not necessarily

a
speaking model. Anyone out there found anything they're using with beeps,
or just the old dialer that you have to time individually?

Hi All,



I've had my Cobalt talking microwave for some 10 years and looking
to renew.

Can anyone advise is Cobalt the best supplier or do we in the UK
have anyone else that supplies the same product at a more reasonable
price?



Thanks,



Scott



Kindest Regards
