I bought this item for a Christmas gift for my blind husband, and found I love it as well. It is very intuitive and easy to use. The voice is clear, and the volume control is easy to work. The settings are so easy to change and the functions buttons and dial control are all large enough for handicapped hands. I found the settings and timer to be accurate and it cooks beautifully. I could not be happier with this product. I encourage you to buy it if you have a senior, or a handicapped person in your house hold or if you just want an easy to use microwave that is dependable. I am getting another one for my mother.

As someone who agonizes over decision-making, the purchase of this microwave oven was one of those times I was delighted with my selection. The size is perfect for my everyday solo needs and will also accommodate medium casseroles. Buttons are conveniently located and can be easily distinguished by anyone with low vision or dexterity issues. Operation is simple and I found no need to repeatedly refer back to the instructions. Some functions are not spoken but are tactile; it will still be a pleasant surprise (eliminates frustrating touch screen use/labeling). My only ‘con’ for this microwave is the turntable can be easily knocked off its fitting when the oven is empty and I found it annoying and tricky setting it back on the track and into the holder. Unfortunately, the microwave quit on me today. Not many warranties extend past 1 yr. so that’s just my bad luck and there’s no sense whining about it. I’ve no regrets about choosing this Hamilton Beach model.

I ordered the Cook Magic Talking Microwave from Amazon.com and received it in less than one week. The product works well for people with visual disabilities although you will need some sighted assistance setting up the clock. The buttons are easy to understand and will work well for most applications (heating water, warming a dinner plate). I only gave 4 stars because of the need for assistance with the clock. Otherwise, I would highly recommend for blind or low vision user.
