Actually, bump dots do work. This is how I had my sighted nephew label mine, and for almost a year, its worked perfectly.
Also, all the accessories I ordered with mine work perfectly with my Power Air Fryer. I’m especially glad I got the rotisserie set becaue these rotisserie chickens are delicious! but I ordered mine online and not over the phone. Not sure if that makes a difference. Anyway, it is a purchase I so do not regret making. We are probably gonna wear our poor Power Air Fryer out, we use it so much daily. ~Ann Sent from my iPhone > On Aug 26, 2019, at 12:26 PM, Chris Green via Cookinginthedark > <cookinginthedark@acbradio.org> wrote: > > I own the power air fryer which I Purchased over the telephone after > listening to an infomercial.
