My old microwave finally stopped working, then I researched Walmart's website for a replacement and found this microwave. It is compact but still has a great wattage and many other features such as one button settings which makes it easy to operate. It is almost self explanatory going through the many features that this microwave offers. Features include: one touch microwaving, settings for different meals, two languages for the "talking" feature which can be muted, and many more. I would recommend it to my friends and others looking for a microwave.

Love this microwave... it is so easy to use and it talks to you, loud enough for me to hear it when I am in the living room watching TV. I wanted a microwave big enough to handle a bag of popcorn but small enough not to take up too much counter space. We make anything from Popcorn, to heating up leftovers, to Lean pockets, burritos, soup and much more. Not to mention it looks good.. :)

This microwave has enough features to satisfy most customers. All features are simple to use and to comprehend. Highly recommend to anyone with limited vision.
The only negative for my use is that the buttons on the silver panel are also silver and almost fade into the panel making them hard to see. I overcame this problem by putting large red decal stickers beside each button with large black number.
I highly recommend this talking microwave.

Before I ordered this microwave I looked at all the reviews. The one that stuck out was about the protective coat of plastic all over the microwave. Didnt think it was a big deal. It was quite a pain to take it all off, but it was worth it (not a scratch on it). I love this microwave. It is really easy to use for myselft and my 6 year old. And the look of the microwave is amazing. It looks like a very expensive microwave that costed very little. I would definititely recoment this product. And by the way, I used a blowdryer to help get the plastic coating off and it worked pretty good. Just don't use the high heat and keep it at a distance, and it will help a lot.

I got this because I am partially blind, completely in the left eye and partal in the right. However, this product does give talking features, but if you want to cook in other than the simple 1-5 minute settings on the lttle nobs on the right, you're in luck. BUT, if you want to cook other than push one of those 5 buttons and your eye sight is bad, you're NOT in luck. I am also very hard of hearing and I am set on 'high' volume and can NOT understand. It is good for those that want something different than just a plain microwave, but for us, especially the elderly, you need to have someone show how to work it and memorize the features, or you're just OUT OF LUCK. I would recomend it, but beware, you need someone to show you how to work it, if you want to learn other features other than just clicking on the 1-5 minute buttons on the left.

Bought this microwave for my dad who has macular degeneration and gluacoma as well as arthritis. The voice activation is a perfect for him and the raised buttons are a blessing. Most microwaves with flat screen touch pads look great but for dad are useless. This machine is very basic but does the job!

I would like to thank the manufacturer for producing a great product. When you have a mother that is legally blind this microwave is my answer to freedom for her in the kitchen. Because the device talks to her she now can cook. I appreciated any aid that manufacturers can aid the impair people who can not see as well. Thank you again for having a product on Walmart shelves to aid the blind impair people in this world. Thanks again for your help. smartperson

Really handy,
01/04/2010
By
GrannyEmm, Ashland, Ohio
Overall Rating:

out of 5
For a partially sighted person like me, this is a really handy item. My most-used settings do operate with voice prompts, but more complex ones require counting clicks of a turning knob and remembering where several controls are located. I think it would be impossible for a totally blind person to set up a complex cooking program on this machine without assistance as only simple operations are supported by voice prompts and tactile hints. The voice does not speak the numbers for the knob clicks to select cooktimes and a user must remember too many steps in order to program, say, automatic cooking of a dinner. That said, the current sale price on this microwave makes it a bargain for anyone as it costs move than twice as much elsewhere for exactly the same unit. 900 watts is sufficient to nuke frozen meals and do the simple heating jobs I need. I have been using mine for two months and find the adapted controls handy and easy to use. For a vision impaired person who needs to do only simple tasks with the microwave like heat items requiring five minutes or less, this machine would serve well as the first-level commands can all be easily found tactilely and are supported by voice prompts. It does offer the more sophisticated items: power levels, custom cooking times, a kitchen timer, and an interior design that makes replacing the turntable after cleaning much easier for a partially sighted person. But the more sophisticated controls are not dependably supported tactilely or by voice prompts. This machine is not for your totally blind pal, but it would be great for many with macular degeneration and others who can still see, even dimly, the large, bright blue numbers and letters on the readout..

Have had this unit for about a year now. I love the talking feature, as I love new gadgets and fresh ideas. The blue sticker cover was a pain to get off, but protected the unit from any scratches. You can turn off the voice if you want. I like the voice, it gives the unit added value. The price is right and worth it!. Over all my family and friends love it. Just get it, you won't regret it.

I purchased this microwave for my mother, who is elderly and has advanced Macular Degeneration. It remains to be seen, if she will be able to use the microwave or not. It provides verbal instruction for most things. However, when turning the knob to set the timer, there is no verbal acknowledgement. For those who are visually impaired, they must rely on the feel of the knob (there is a notched feel as you turn the knob) and it is easy to turn the knob too far. I would like to see an upgrade, which provides a minute count verbally. My mother is also hard of hearing and, even with hearing aids, she has a hard time understanding the voice.
On the plus side, the microwave seems very durable and is not bulky looking. The features are relavent - not too many unnecessary buttons. I really like the express buttons. the cook time corresponds to the button 1 minute to 5 minutes.

When I got the micro I was so pleased with the appearance of it and all its features. I pluged it up really excited to see all that it would do , after about 10 minutes of using it, it made a big pop noise and just quit working totally. Could not even get it to light up nothingwould work. So needless to say I was without a microwave not to mention the hastle of having to tough it back to the store as a return. I was very disappointed.
