Hi Jackie, Carol et al,I have the same type of machine with a power control and a timer. I think it cost me £40 from Asda and I've had it about 3 years.
, smile.I had a bad experience with the last Cobolt talking MW and I think the price is a complete rip.
Just my twopence worth, smile. Jim Mc On 11/01/2015 15:26, Jackie Brown wrote:
Hi Carol Ours is a small ordinary machine with two dials on it. One allows you to turn it to however many minutes you want, and the other dial is for varying the power. Both dials are mechanical and have points on them which you can feel. It only cost £60, but it does what we need for heating up porridge etc. My Cobolt microwave didn't last that long for the little use it had, and I prefer this model as it is nice and quiet without all the chatter first thing in the morning! (smile). If you are in the market for something that basic, I'll get the model for you, I can't remember offhand.

Anyone out there found anything they're using with beeps, or just the old dialer that you have to time individually?Carol P----- Original Message ----- From: Scott Cunningham <mailto:unionjack@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Sunday, January 11, 2015 2:50 PM Subject: [access-uk] Talking Microwaves All, 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?
