I'm not sure whether this stuff from the RNIB is still available.  At one stage 
it was a "No-no", but perhaps they did continue to produce it.  I haven't 
needed to look in a good long while now.

  I agree that bump -ons by them selves do not stick very well but I just put a 
dab of glue on the back of them and I find they are much more robust.
  I use a normal tube of glue of some kind, possibly Bostick, but I guess even 
superglue could be used. 

  The other thing I have used which seems even more robust is a nail varnish 
typed blobber which I think I got from the RNIB. You need sighted help to 
squeeze this out on a particular target and let it set fast. I have never 
personally known this stuff come off once applied.

    I don't find the bump-ons stay very well and so I'd be loath just to have 
those as guidance, but thanks for your comments.

      Carol when our not even 3 years old Cobolt microwave went wrong we 
decided not to spend out that amount of money so we went to one of our 
independant shops and bought one of their own named brand.
      Smaller by far with 2 dials.
      One for the levels such as defrost, medium, high, other is the timer 
which we got someone to put bumps on.
      The levels dial is click settings.
      And all for the price of £59.

        The RNIB have started to supply and, it's a bit vague, but I think it's 
probably the same old microwave at the same old price, and I can't remember 
what that is off the top of my head.

        We are considering looking for a replacement elsewhere and not 
necessarily a speaking model.  Anyone out there found anything they're using 
with beeps, or just the old dialer that you have to time individually?

          Hi All,


          I’ve had my Cobalt talking microwave for some 10 years and looking to 
renew.

          Can anyone advise is Cobalt the best supplier or do we in the UK have 
anyone else that supplies the same product at a more reasonable price?


          Thanks,


          Scott


          Kindest Regards
