I can't speak for everyone, but my parents have a Whirlpool front loading machine that has worked flawlessly for several years. Before that, they had a Maytag Neptune which I now have. It is still working well. The only thing that was done to the Maytag was to replace a door seal (as part of a settlement from a class action) and fix one spring.

I've looked at some of the whirlpool stuff abut have had several friends say what bad luck they've had with getting them repaired and when I look them up online its kind of scary. Just like the Maytags. But I'll check them out as well. Jim On Apr 9, 2010, at 12:05 PM, Shane Hecker wrote: > You might want to look at the Whirlpool machines. They have dials and raised buttons.

And they've definitely changed since the last time I made a purchase. I currently have a front loading model but it seems like most of those nowadays have touch panels and don't seem to be very accessible to blind folks. > Anybody have any suggestions on what you might have purchased that is accessible? > Thanks for any help, > Jim > > ----- > Find me on facebook or: > Skype: jimintexas > Yahoo or Aim/Ichat: jgatteys > Msn: [email protected] > > [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] > > ----- Find me on facebook or: Skype: jimintexas Yahoo or Aim/Ichat: jgatteys Msn: [email protected] [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
