Hello to you Pam, from Ron Kolesar.
Your letter peaks my interest.
I have a old Panasonic microwave oven as well.
The wattage is 1,400 watts, I don't remember the model number and or the
size of the inside of the oven.
Could you ship me the model number, wattage and the size of the inside of
your new oven?
That way when I go to research it, I'll know which one to do my homework on
and I'll also know which one to pick up.
I'll have to get my sighted assistant to see how large the inside cabinet is
on my older microwave, because my unit is about ten years old.
I love some of the built in features that you described about your new oven
as well.
My oven only has a flat panel and with sighted assistance, I was able to
design a braille overlay for it.
But I like the actual physical touchable buttons.
You don't see those to much anymore for electronic devices.
Hopefully with the ADA, they'll come back for us, or we'll force the
agencies to allow their product to come with a braille overlay panel for
flat panel devices.
Many thanks for this news, and can't wait for your experiments, so that we
too don't make the same mistakes while learning our new microwave oven.
SMILES.
73's Ron KR3DOG who wishes all well and good health

Subject: [CnD] microwave exciting discovery
Some of you have been wondering about finding accessible microwaves that are
not too expensive.
Since my unit is on a slow boat to failing, I wanted to replace it before it
took its final plunge into inoperable boat anchor. I found the updated model
of the one I love. I bought it online from Sam’s club. I am sure you can
find it in other places, but here are the details.
Totally accessible with buttons you can feel, shaped like bars, and they
push in. No need to mark any of them. Just make a cheat sheet for yourself
listing what each button does. You will soon have it memorized.
Set up the unit, and you are good to go. It comes with a thick instruction
booklet, over 150 pages. There must be some recipes there too I would think.
I paid $169 including shipping. It is the largest size of microwave ovens
you generally can buy.
Details:
Panasonic
Inverter model number NN-SN975S
The manufacture date on mine is March 2020. You don’t need its serial
number.
The buttons:
There are 23 of them. Seven rows of 3 and two at the bottom.
The two on the bottom are: on the left, stop, or reset if you push it
twice; and start on the right.
The other 21, starting at the top:
Popcorn, push once for 3.5 ounces, twice for 3.0 ounces, and 3 times for
1.75 ounces.
2. Sensor reheat; this sets itself. 3. Sensor cook; There are 14 settings
for this button and I’ll list them at the bottom of the list.
Second row: Power level: there are 10 of these starting at full power and
going down in 10-degree segments to 10 percent at the lowest.
Defrost, and there are different levels here too which I forgot to copy, but
you push defrost, then a number button, then start to make it work. Not
hard, but you’ll have to copy from the book if you want details. And 3. Keep
warm.
Now there is a physical space between rows.
Here come the numbers:
1, 2, 3,
4, 5, 6,
7, 8, 9,
Cook Timer; 0; clock set.
Now you are down to the stop, start row I began with.
The 14 presets on the top right button:
Oatmeal: Works perfect.
Sausage: Works but you have to repeat it several times depending on what
sort of breakfast sausage you are cooking.
3. Omelet: Perfect once you try it a few times and know how it behaves with
your own omelet maker.
4. quinoa
5. soup
6. frozen entrée
7. frozen pizza singles
8. potatoes (prick the skins)
9. Fresh vegetables
10 frozen vegetables
11. rice
12. frozen dinners
13. pasta
14. fish fillets
I’ll try some of these settings and let you know what I think of them. If
they are anything like the first 3, I’ll be both surprised and happy.
I hope this helps some of you who have been searching. Don’t be afraid of
the programs. They are easy to learn and logical. The button settings change
nicely so you don’t have to push your multiples like you are running a race.
They won’t time out in the few seconds it takes you to push them and count
properly. If you push them too fast you might override what you are trying
to accomplish, but I wouldn’t know. I don’t push too fast myself.
