I want to love this. I think that these industrial designers and you folks at FirsBuild did a great job. But, I think it's kind of gross that GE isn't making these available at no additional cost. This is basic wayfinding for use of their appliances. It was an oversight on the part of GE (and other manufacturers) to not include in the first place. Imagine being blind and on disability in the United States, where you receive $1100/month to cover your food, clothing, shelter, etc. You pay $350/month in supplemental health insurance because disability insurance is so lacking. So, now you only have $750 for all of your monthly expenses. Somehow you've managed to afford a new appliance, but now you have to pay an additional $20 Disabled tax for the appliance to be accessible. Bananas.
