Smart home devices for you
Explore best-selling devices that work with Alexa-
"Alexa, turn on the lights."
Control the lights with your voice.
AmazonBasics Microwave simplifies cooking by letting you microwave using your voice and an Echo device. Just say, “Alexa, reheat one cup of coffee,” and Alexa will start reheating with the appropriate power and time settings. Quick-cook presets mean there’s no need to guess cook times or heat levels when you’re defrosting vegetables or microwaving a potato. Plus, Alexa is always getting smarter and adding new presets.
When pressed, there’s no need to say “Alexa” or “microwave.” To start cooking, use your voice or just press the Ask Alexa button and say your cook time. The button will instantly wake up your paired Echo, just like saying “Alexa” does. For example, press the Ask Alexa button and say, “2 minutes,” or “frozen vegetables.” Fire TV, Fire Tablets, Echo Look, and Amazon Tap devices are not supported with the Ask Alexa button.
Sign up to automatically reorder popcorn and save 10% on popcorn orders. Choose from select popcorn brands in the Alexa app. When you make popcorn using your voice or the Popcorn button, AmazonBasics Microwave will reorder when you run low. Learn more.
AmazonBasics Microwave has 10 power levels, a kitchen timer, a child lock, and a turntable so you can cook all kinds of food.

Is a voice control microwave worth it?
Reviewed in the United States on November 18, 2018
A microwave is the most used kitchen appliance, or next to the refrigerator. Virtually every home has one. It is not something we shop for yearly, to replace, unless what we have is broken. However, could a voice control microwave be the new norm?First, here are the positives for this microwave. The price is unbeatable for a name brand product, an official Amazon brand, so you can trust it at least. Secondly, despite the very low price, if you don’t want to use the voice control, you can still use it as a regular microwave.Nevertheless, as for now 2018, microwaves cannot produce a food, a snack or beverages themselves. You have to manually put your food in the microwave. So, my thought was, if I can put a leftover in the microwave to heat it up, why can’t I just press the buttons instead of using a voice command to warm my food? However, upon setting it up, I like the voice command more than pressing a couple of buttons.There is a catch to this though, the voice command is not built in the microwave, it only works with An Amazon Alexa echo dot. Upon receiving the microwave, you will connect it with your echo dot and command your echo dot to use the microwave as needed. It will acknowledge by repeating the command you gave and then start the microwave.Surprisingly, the voice command is more fluid to use even than using the buttons import we all are so used to.The downside is the Amazon echo dot is no Star Trek Enterprise computer that is smarter than the user. So, there are times you have to rephrase a command for it to work. For an example, I said to my echo dot, “start microwave for two minutes,” It had no idea what I was saying, but when I said, “microwave, for two minutes” it understood. I suppose, to use the command, after you call on your echo dot, you must follow by saying “microwave” then the command, warm soup . . . or reheat hot chocolate for two minutes etc.So, is it worth it? The answer is yes and no. If you spend a lot of time in your kitchen, you already have a microwave, likely one that is built into your kitchen, under the cupboard etc. Most people won’t replace their large microwave for a small microwave like the Amazon microwave simply because it has voice control. However, if you are moving into a new small home or you are a student, you might consider getting it. Or your current microwave is small, and you need a replacement without breaking the bank, you might consider it as well.The sound of the microwave isn’t loud, which is nice. Like most microwaves, there is a build in light when the microwave door is open and there is a digital clock on the microwave.
