What happens when someone has a crazy idea. You get the AmazonBasics Microwave with built in Alexa voice assistant. The crazy part is the price at just $60.

As you can see, the microwave itself is fairly basic. However, you can now make your microwave do the following –

– hoover your house, no just kidding, but wouldn’t that be wonderful

– activate quick cook presets to defrost veg, make popcorn, cook potatoes

– use an Echo device to control your microwave eg Alexa start microwaving

– reorder food

– reheat at the time and power level required

– buy the latest headphones, wait really, yes really

The microvave is fairly compact, has 10 power levels, a kitchen timer, a child lock, and a turntable. Alexa is always getting smarter with new presets. External dimensions (Width x Height x Depth): 17.3 in. x 10.1 in. x 14.1 in. ; Turntable (Diameter): 10 in. It is a 700 watt microwave.

So are you ready for a voice assistant connected microwave?
