Hello all:
Carol and I have the Magic Cheff talking microwave, and it has 12 buttons. 
It omes with a Braille, and large print manual, rather, I think, we had to 
designate which type of manual we would use.

As always, read the manual first, before using the appliance.
You can change the pitch, and volume of the voice, and it even speaks in

Did your microwave come with a user's guide?  If so, in what format or

Re: [CnD] inexpensive microwaves - Re: Magic Chef Talking Microwave

[Regina Marie via Cookinginthedark]

Mine worked for about 7 years but nothing lasts forever. That's why I have just 
 purchased the Magic Chef. I have Braille on things I use exclusively, but feel 
my husband should be considered as well and Braille alone will not help him use 
an appliance.

Hello all:
Carol and I have the Magic Cheff talking microwave, and it has 12 buttons. It 
omes with a Braille, and large print manual, rather, I think, we had to 
designate which type of manual we would use.
As always, read the manual first, before using the appliance.
You can change the pitch, and volume of the voice, and it even speaks in either 
English or Spanish. If you speak a language other than these, oops! Out of 
luck, (smile).
Seriously, this microwave is very practical for the blind or visually impaired 
person.
You might want to get a rubber mat, in order for the microwave not to move on 
your counter, or buffet, cabinet, or whatever.
Hope this lengthy email helps.

I use a Braille sheet I can roll into the Braille writer for labelling and 
simply cut things apart with scissors and make sure to have sighted help when 
placing the labels. Thanks for the tip on the rubbing alcohol.

If you are concerned with how to mark the microwave, I found that on mine if I 
put a space between the different numbers on a row I could do 12 and three on 
one strip and not have to figure out how to place them exactly. It also helped 
if I had a sighted person around and if they New which direction was up, they 
could put it in the correct location. 
I would suggest that before you place the Dino tape pieces onto the microwave, 
use some rubbing alcohol to make sure that the tape will stick continuously.
Also, something else you could consider that I did not take the time to look 
into, so manufacturers of microwaves make overlays that have brill already on 
them that you can order from the company and attach yourself. I don't know what 
it is or how it works or even which companies make them, I heard somewhere from 
someone that it was something to look into. Sorry I cannot answer more about 
that.
Save yourself a couple of hundred dollars and go get a microwave for $100 from 
target or Walmart.

Re: [CnD] Talking Microwave

[Gary Patterson via Cookinginthedark]

Hi neighbor. When you can get any substance off the display, like oil from your 
skin or left overs from tape that was previously used to mark spots on the 
display, the adhesive on the dymo tape seems to be sticky enough. Kids playing 
with or using the microwave can loosen the labels. 

This is kind of a side, but several years ago, mid 80s, the NFB convention was 
at the Palmer house. About a month later I went to the Palmer house to attend 
an IBM conference. During the NFB convention the labels held up well. When I 
returned to the Palmer house, practically all the labels had been torn off.

My experience is that the taped-on Braille markings do not last. I have been 
thinking about that talking microwave just because this keeps happening.

I would say that a regular microwave, dymotape, and a slate and stylus is a 
much better way to go.  I marked mine in 1986, and it still works to this day.
