We are using talking microwaves for a long time now. You may read my blog post on it. I am copying below two emails I wrote to AI regarding it. I am not aware of any talking washing machines. The IFB models with tactile buttons are reasonably accessible. You can further adapt it by sticking dots on the dial.

It has microwave, grill and oven and is the top of the line product from Samsung. It has voice guide which I found to be very useful for the visually impaired. I think it is as accessible as the earlier specially designed Cook Magic microwave from the USA. The only things it does not announce are the time and power increments. But since the dial rotates in steps it is not to difficult to set the time or power level even for a visually impaired. It is currently selling at Rs. 16750 but availability is limited. So, if you are planning to purchase an accessible microwave then I suggest you go for this now. it was out of stock on Croma and flipkart. I ordered it from snapdeal.com.

Hello all, After thinking and searching for an accessible microwave oven for a couple of years, I finally landed at the right place and have acquired one. It is a factory made talking machine from Hamilton Beach which makes many other types of appliances. It is called CookMagic and the model I have is 87108. I am very happy with it and other visually impaired couples should consider it. I have posted its review, videos, audio description, manual and other links on my blog http://www.prashant.myehome.in/blog You may also be interested in the recent entries on my blog and website.
