Yes to this for me as well. I've had my Sharp for just over 10 years and it
still has the original labels I made with a slate and clear dymo tape. The
Number one is missing, and the label for the beverage setting is folded over
and the 6 and 8 accidentally got reversed by some helpful sighted person
when they were cleaning, <grin> but other than that, the labels are all
present and accounted for. I've got the numpad, start , the clear/stop
button labeled, plus I've got the quick setting buttons labeled with three
letter abbreviations, so the whole panel has basically been covered since I
started using it.
there are some functions I can't access, and the clock is in a constant
state of blinking, but the turntable is about 16 inches round and it's an
1100 watt microwave, so larger and more powerful than the talking ones I've
seen, so I'm willing to settle for now.

I brailled all my microwave ovens with dymo tape and the Braille has stuck
to the oven for years and years.

This message is for Dale, but it is for anyone else who might be able to
be
of help.
The March Madness special on Microwave Ovens is great for one person who
lives in an apartment. The oven that is offered by the Mice is way too
small. We need a larger microwave oven that will fit perfectly above our
range. We have limited counter space.
If anyone would know where we can get a large Microwave oven with a
braille
pannel that would be great.
In 1986, about a year after my wife and I were married, we went to Sears
in
Cincinnati. Sears was able to get a microwave with a braille pannel on it
and I loved it. When the oven went bad and we had to replace it, Sears
said
the company that made the pannels stopped making them.
If anyone including Dale knows where I can get a good microwave oven that
is
large and user-friendly to sightless people, let me know.
