All those microwave ovens from Target and Walmart have touch panels now. I don't have a new one, but an older one that does not talk, but it's OK for me. It has raised round buttons and was a display model. When they told me they were going to dump it when I was looking at it, I talked them into letting me have it for a few dollars less than a boxed microwave cost. I did not want to run around to different stores to find the one I wanted, and my mind was already made up. I know it is not customary for them to sell a display model of anything. I have no regrets. I have a G.E. with a browning element. I mostly heat things up in it.

It also helped if I had a sighted person around and if they New which direction was up, they could put it in the correct location. I would suggest that before you place the Dino tape pieces onto the microwave, use some rubbing alcohol to make sure that the tape will stick continuously. Also, something else you could consider that I did not take the time to look into, so manufacturers of microwaves make overlays that have brill already on them that you can order from the company and attach yourself. I don't know what it is or how it works or even which companies make them, I heard somewhere from someone that it was something to look into. Sorry I cannot answer more about that. Save yourself a couple of hundred dollars and go get a microwave for $100 from target or Walmart.
