Phil,
Not a bad sentiment. Another option would be to go to local stores
and do some hands on shopping. Take a sighted friend, you might just
find something and can take it home.

Yes Emma, that is exactly what I’m looking for, a simple low power microwave
with rotary knobs buttons and dials without that annoying flat top digital
display. Please give me the details at least the name so I can find it on
Amazon. PS you may want to give it off-line so people don’t get upset. Thank
you please give me that info

on the blind-techies list they discuss accessible microwaves extensively every
so often. the landscape changes so much that it has to be done each time
somebody asks. I’ve never heard of being able to control a microwave or other
device with a Mac but I like the idea. I think there are several microwaves
that can be controlled with an echo device. you might try putting accessible
microwaves in the Amazon search engine or go on innosearch.ai and see what they
come up with.

Hi Phil and everybody else on the list this is Mike from Oklahoma. I am also
along with Phil. I’m looking for a microwave that is more accessible than what
I currently have. And I just ask everybody to remember that some of these
things when we talk about him do overlap. And I would just like to say if you
can get the right interface for things you can have a Mac control just about
anything you would want to. The challenge is getting the right interface to go
between the Mac and what you would like for it to control. I wouldn’t doubt
that there would be a way to make a microwave accessible with a Mac device. I
think you asked a really interesting and wonderful question Phil and I hope we
can get some answers. PS I hope that people that wouldn’t like what I have said
can overlook the little things and move on.

Well, it was a woman named Janet Akbar who is or was a member of this list I
don’t know if she’s still alive, but she did a piece in an article in a
magazine about the accessible microwave by Amazon which could be controlled by
a Mac device. So I thought hey it’s appropriate to ask about it on the
Macvisionaries’s list where I first heard about it. I really hope this didn’t
bother you too much. You could always report me to the list moderators if you
like. Or, you could learn to simply overlook the little things.

Subject: Accessible microwaves
My Amazon basics microwave that worked with Alexa and also had a braille
overlay finally died. It looks like Amazon has discontinued this product I know
this is off-topic but does anybody have information about a microwave that’s
fairly easy for us to use?Sent from my IPhone
