Hi again, OK, now I think I found it, would you have this one: Model #: CCHS985SELSS Slide-In Front Control, Induction Oven, 5.6cu Ft, PreciseAir Convection, Wifi Connected, Self Clean Oven It shows a Canadian MSRP of $4,299 which still comes in below Bosch and I assume I would be able to find a slightly better price since this is manufacturer’s suggested retail price. This sounds promising, I’d be happy if there is good oven control via WiFi (either Alexa or an accessible app) and if the cooktop controls are dials. The oven is not something you typically need to adjust as often or quickly so as long as I can set it that would be fine. The only features which would have been nice to have and which I don’t think this one has is the ability to combine two of the cooktop elements into one large one, but sometimes one can’t have everything for the price one can spend.

The model we have is part of the Cafe line which also has washers, driers, dish washers and microwaves. I have no experience with any appliance except the range, but so far my experience has been positive. I suggest starting your search with the Cafe line. Also feel free to reach out privately for more indepth information if this is something you are seriously considering as these appliances are rather pricey.

I gave up a couple of years ago regarding an accessible, connected washer/dryer and bought a Miele set which is all buttons as in actual buttons you can feel although there are still options to select on a screen, but some of those are things you don't really need, sometimes an app like Seeing AI can pick it up and for those times when I actually have to use it and still need more help I just call Aira, Be My Eyes or my Mom using Facetime. For the most part my wife takes care of it, it's just once a year or so when she goes back to the Philippines for a few weeks when I have to use it independently. I have come to realize that it does not seem like there is a range which will be fully accessible, I have seen some which have WiFi, but so far I have only ever read that you can only control the oven. Anyhow, I could see how it would also be pretty inconvenient if you cook and you want to quickly turn the temperature of a burner up or down a bit when you are busy doing other stuff , maybe your hands are dirty etc. This would not be a good time where you have to unlock your phone and fiddle around with an app, in such as case the only thing which would make sense is if you could Alexa/Google Home and give a quick voice command which would be carried out instantly. One thing I did notice on the GE website was that they are talking about "ADA compliance" and one of our local stores actually send me an email after I asked them to look into something with analogue controls and said that some companies mentioned they had braille overlays for the touch screen. I plan to call GE tomorrow (if they are open) or Tuesday and hopefully find out a bit more. Their ranges actually get some pretty good reviews, so I definitely would like to chat with them. I am always amazed that given the number of government organisations in existence as well as all the private advocacy groups and people that nobody has done more to work with the major appliance makers to find a better solution. I bet nowadays a lot of these appliances run some sort of version of Android and it might not take all that much to make them talk on their own.

We are in the market to purchasing a new washer and drier and hoping to find something that is accessible with using the Apps given that most of the washers and driers these days have touch screens.
