Hi Ibrahim, I know I paid £200 for a talking microwave on its own. All the best Mo Ibrahim Gucukoglu wrote:
Hi Mo.My only concern though is the price. Have you seen the talking combination microwave oven and grill as sold by Cobolt Systems? Fully accessible yes, bloody expensive yes also. The same machine with a touch screen panel can be had for under £100, Cobolt want nearly 270 quid for their machine. That's why I was banging on about the merits of a universally compatible adaptable panel as in bulk they'd be cheaper to produce and could fit a wide array of appliances, not necessarily just washing machines and tumble dryers. I guess this is all wishful thinking though, there's far more money in Braille displays and computer technology than there is in white goods and everyday essentials.All the best, Ibrahim.----- Original Message ----- From: "Maureen Dyer" <md012a9716@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, February 05, 2011 9:30 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Washing machine recommendationsA talking washing machine would be wonderful.

They aren't cheap mind. It does beg the question though, why are manufacturers pumping out ever more sophisticated note takers and other assistive technology gadgets yet no one has actually produced a talking washing machine and so on? I'd personally love to see a prototype control panel which can be fitted to machines which provides full access to the vast array of features present on today's modern kitchen tech? There are already touch screen washers and cookers on the market and who knows what the future holds, but I doubt it will be very blind friendly.All the best, Ibrahim.----- Original Message ----- From: "Ankers, Dave (UK)" <Dave.Ankers@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, February 03, 2011 9:37 AM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Washing machine recommendationsJackie, You want a reliable Washer/Dryer, try Miele. Now what would be nice, is if manufacturers, whose machines havebluetooth technology, like Miele, would be for them to provide a mobileApp to operate the machine. Cheers Dave HiFirstly, I wouldn't recommend a combined washing-machine come dryer, butthat's through choice and experience of their unreliability. On its own, we have a Bosch washing-machine. What I like about it is that it has a dial that has a tactile pointer or arrow pointing to thetop when it is off. If you turn it clockwise once, you get a 30 degrees wash. Turn it again and you get 40 degrees. Turn it again and it goesup to 60 degrees, and so on. There are other fancy buttons on it thatmay be programmed for holding a spin etc, but it's good in that you cancount the clicks, feel the arrow, and know when the wash is finishedbecause of some bleeps that persist for quite a while. When you've putyour washing in the drum, shut the door, shoved your powder in thedrawer and turn the dial to the heat you want, you press a small buttonwhich then bleeps. This tells you it's ready to go, and then you hear the water filling up. I don't know the model number, but it is a washing-machine only, and quite a high spin-speed.
