Just an update about accessible control apps. Bosh and Siemens share an IOS
app called Home Connect. I downloaded it as it has a demo mode and it is
perfectly accessible with Voice Over.

Hi All
I am still on the hunt for kitchen appliances that are accessible. I
discounted the Wi-Fi option with the Hoover Wizard range as the reviews on
the Apple App Store are really bad without exception. Can anyone point me to
any good-quality appliances they have come across.
I am also wondering about Induction Hobs. I had originally discounted them
as unusable but I saw a demo of one which has changed my mind. They have a
completely flat surface which makes it difficult to place a pot exactly on
the area that heats the pot. The one I saw has "flexi-induction" which means
you only have to place the pot roughly in that quarter of the hob for it to
work. Sadly, the controls were only partially accessible. I'm wondering if
anyone has seen an induction hob with fully accessible controls?
John
