I find this a very useful piece of equipment to have at home. It will tell you how many seconds or minutes are left. Can set a timer for things.

Very useful and gives you good independence when it comes to cooking. You don't need to rely on others to help you.

The machine plugs into a socket but you need to be careful about what socket you use.

Its expensive for a microwave but worth the money.

Accessible microwave for visually impaired

3.3 out of 5 stars

This is an excellent microwave for those who are visually impaired. It has tactile buttons with a loud voice which you can adjust the volume of. I have had this for 2 years and it works well. The only problem is it's quite expensive compared to mainstream microwaves and is specifically for visually impaired. Anyone can use it but its design is for visually impaired.

Ideal for those who are visually impaired.

Only problem is the cost. It's more expensive than a normal microwave.
