Our microwave just died this morning so we had to go out and buy a new one today. We found one at Best Buy that talks, and it is great.
It is a Hamilton Beach TEMO. It was only $94, which is a lot less than a talking one we thought we were going to end up getting from Maxi Aids, until we found this one. But so far we're loving it. Its apparently a brand new model. I just found its features online, and here's what they are:
. Easy-to-use Instructive Talking Programmable Feature .Signal . Kitchen Timer Its 900watts too so quite powerful. We're actually still getting used to that aspect of it since our last one wasn't nearly that powerful. It has a little knob that you turn to set the cook times, with a little notch you feel each time you turn it so you can easily tell how far to turn it. You push a button on the knob and it'll ask you to set the minutes, then when you set the minutes you push the button again and it'll ask you to set the seconds. After you do that you push the button again and it starts. It is really easy to use.
