I have always really liked Panasonic microwaves.  I have one which has no braille labels which still has the conventional turntable that I bought in 2011.  It has a technology they call 'Genious'.  You almost don't have to set it to the desired type of food as it figures it out automagically.  

I prefer a larger microwave than the one described below soas to accommodate larger dishes.  I will look to see if there is a larger model of this one.

I still have an Amazon Smart oven which is convection/air fryer/microwave and warm.  I haven't taken it out of the box though because it is too large at about 1.5 CU Ft.  It's a great oven though and is controlled via Lady Al.  If I can find a cart large enough to accommodate it, I'll put it to use.  Generally speaking I prefer about  1 1 CU FT size or a little larger.

Rebecca,
I can tell you about one better than that. I got it on Amazon and the touch panel comes with Braille embossed into the actual panel. It is a simi-commercial model and I just love it. Even better, there is no turn table because the micro tube is built-in under the glass bottom. It is a snap to clean and cooks more evenly than the traditional home models. 
Here is an Amazon link:

Does anyone know of a  microwave oven for which the manufacturer provides an adhesive braille overlay for the touch pad?


I'm not interested in a talking microwave, so, I will continue labeling mine with dymotape if the kind mentioned above isn't available.


Thanks.
