Capacitive buttons are very inaccessible it's honestly need to be a crime to be making such appliances I feel very sorry for the visually impaired that are looking for house appliances in this decade | ||

My grandma lost her vision when she was young. Even before capacitive buttons, buttons were very hard to find by touch. It has been an issue for more then a decade. Off topic, but a lifehack for those who have visually impaired loved ones: we use glass paint contour paste on the center of buttons. It's basically used in glass paintings to stop paint sliding from the glass, so it can make a good noticeable bump or line. But – it only works on hard surfaces and if the buttons themselves are not very sensitive. If you can lightly brush the button while you are "looking" for bumps, then it works. | ||

I discovered they are also dangerous: My former cook top was solely driven by capacitance buttons - which became entirely inaccessible the moment there was an overflow, leading to more overflows and a situation that rapidly got out of hand. The first step in an emergency is switch off the cook top - luckily the breaker switch was nearby. |
