Hi Ray I would just replace mine as I'm used to him. I've never had a problem with it to be honest, and I find the voice feedback helpful. Even our son uses it without any problem, so I would probably say more of the same for me please?

Still, others have decided they can get by with a cheapo model, preferably with a dial or feelable buttons, and simply use a separate timer. What do you think? Cheers, From Ray I can be contacted off-list at: mailto:ray-48@xxxxxxxx -----Original Message----- Jackie Cairns Subject: [access-uk] Re: Talking microwave ovens Hi Peter The LG model is discontinued now. I've had our Cobolt microwave for 12 years now, and he's still going strong: "Door open," "Door closed," and all that jazz. (smile) Because I've used it for that long now, I couldn't imagine having a commercial device. I hope others can offer you some useful feedback. Jackie Email: cairnsplace@xxxxxxx Skype Name: Cairnsplace [Ray's Home] ----- Original Message ----- From: Peter Bentley Back to a familiar topic but one that I have not seen come up recently. I need to replace an old model which had tactile controls. I have read the details of the two sold by Cobalt and performed a search with Google. That threw up some results in the States which I am not interested in. However there is one sold by Amazon - the Hamleton Beach Delux (model 87106) for $139.95. Rather cheaper than Cobalts model. I did not find the Lg available anywhere. Does anybody have any suggestions or recommendations please? Peter Bentley
