Re: [BlindHandyMan] new microwave
The power level can be set in increments of 10% And the unit can be used as a timer. - Original Message - From: "Spiro" To: "handyman-blind" Sent: Saturday, January 09, 2010 5:01 AM Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] new microwave Lenny, One of my favorite features on my current microwave is the levels. I can thaw for 30 minutes, warm for 2 minutes and give it a blast of high for 30 seconds by programming power and time for three levels and then walk away. Mine also has a simple timer, in that I set it to power level #1 which is no power and can use that as a timer, or a spacer when programming. Can your panasonic do this? The Hamilton Beach is capable of just 2 levels of programming BTW. Thanks On Mon, 4 Jan 2010, Lenny McHugh wrote: > We purchased the Panasonic nn-sn-778s.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] new microwave
and believe it or not, in the 1970's G.E. was the one that McDonalds went to for assistance with their cash regesters. It seems that the folks they were hiring couldn't keep track of menu item pricing. So G.E. was asked to make a new type of cash regester, one with pictures on keys, that would represent programmed cash ammounts. My uncle in G.E.'s valley forge aero-space devsion said "that's the way it's gonna go I tell ya; dummies point at pictures." Well, I don't think Bill Gaites would want his users called dummies.

[BlindHandyMan] new microwave
We purchased the Panasonic nn-sn-778s. The talking units were too small. This one is 1.6 cu ft and power 1250 w. A friend also blind recommended the unit. I know that I will never be able to use all of the functions but basic should be no problem. There are some very tactile buttons at the top and the start stop/reset at the bottom are also quite tactile. Under the numbers 1 2 and 3 there is a very tactile line likewise under the next two rows of numbers. I normally do not purchase extended warranties but I did for this machine. For an additional $10 I have a second year total replacement. I don't know if I would ever purchase another GE. In three years this is the second that went south. This one was replaced under manuf warranty. My mother had purchased the same model and replaced two units in the same time frame. Karen just looked up that model and the reviews were not good. I asked my youngest daughter if she can remember life prior to microwaves. She can remember when we brought the first one home. Close to 30 years ago and costs $600 on sale. --- Please visit my home page; it is motivational, inspirational and humorous with many resources for the blind. http://www.lennymchugh.com Lenny Please Copy and Paste into New Message to pass along.
