What's the bill please?
To hopefully get equal access to goods and services that the sighted already
take advantage of with their normal sight, I'd sign it.
Many thanks.

Actually there is no law in place yet for technology, there is a bill being
worked on now.

Hello,
There is a law here in the U.S., but not everybody wants to do this, to make
all technologies accessible for the blind and low vision people.

Sometimes that is exactly what must happen. It is a dumb way to have
to operate, but there sometimes simply isn't a choice. I have found
lately that the samples in the stores now are often mock ups and not
the real thing. That means you can't tell anyway if it will work when
you order it because they don't have the model you want in the store
and have to order it for you anyway. Now with more things going to the
order online policy, I fear it will get even harder to find what you are
looking for in the stores.

Yes this is why I wish I could look at one at the store.
I do not want to order one just to see if it will work.

To tell the truth, I am not sure how to tell the difference without
seeing them. Does anybody know if those are called a touch pad or
something to distinguish them from a plain glass screen? This is why
I am confused as well.
These days, even if we have stores in our area that have them, I know
I can't go. I'm high risk living with another person who is high risk.
Isn't it great to be high risk?

Okay I understand this, but I want to make sure it is not a touch screen.
Just to make it clear a touch screen like the I-phone would not work.
It needs to be a flat screen like a microwave.
If it is a touch screen I will not have any way to control it.

The regular version I previously had has dials that had no start and
stop point, they are digital.
That's why I purchased the plus model.

I think there is a difference between knobs and dials. If it is a
knob that starts in one place and has settings along that can be
marked, that is fine. But some of these machines have some kind of
digital dials that change when they move and do not revert back to the
same place when no longer in use. You don't want these because there
is no way they can be made accessible.
The ones with the touch pad, sort of like a microwave, even if not
shaped that way, these are also accessible, though they also have to
be labeled or memorized. The Instant Pot has this kind of panel,
though it is not, of course, an air fryer. Some of this type of
machine can also be run from an app, which may or may not be
accessible. All this is why it is so complicated.
Hope this helps.

Here is information about the air fryer that Wall Mart has.
It is not exactly the same that Jonah mentioned, so I do not know
witch one to get.
Also someone from the office for the blind said knobs are better why?
Thanks.
It is still the Vortex brand, but yes, it is not the Vortex PowerXL.
