Hi
We bought a Bosche Washer Drier recently. The service was good from Comet
and when we contacted Bosche UK they said they had a service which allowd
for putting braille panels on the front. After a month it arrived and was
fitted free of charge by their service engineer. It works well and the whole
machine is not accessible. (It was almost workable with a few bumpons too
before the ;panel arrived.)

We bought a Hotpoint in Feb 2002 (a little while back now) and at that
time had some difficulty getting in touch with the right person at
Hotpoint whose job it was then to fit Braille panels (I think Brailled
by himself though am not sure). We finally found the right man. Again
our machine had to have quite a lot written on it so he said he normally
did a series of dots and added that most people didn't read Braille
anyway. I said that we did and made a few suggestions for modifications
to his normal panel to which he readily agreed. At that time we were
able to select a machine which still had dials which clicked around and
buttons which pushed in and out.
If Usef wants to end up with a Hotpoint, write me again and I'll dig out
the man's name, in the hopes that he may still be responsible.

I have a combined whasher-dryer made by hoover.
the dile has to be marked with bump on to identify the different
programes braille is really not needed with this machine but i believe
that the front pannel can be brailled by the rnib. the six buttons that
push in and out onced learned are reasonably easy to remember. the
dryer
part has a good clicky dile and each click indicates fives minits
drying
time to a maximim of two hourse.
any further etails let me know.
