If you like the look of the model but don’t have or want an Echo device, no worries. You can still use it like a regular microwave, albeit with a simplified keypad. However, anyone who wants to take advantage of the next level quick-cook voice presets and other voice control features needs to have an Echo on hand. Bonus: Per the product description, “Alexa is always getting smarter and adding new presets.”
This particular model is 0.7 cubic feet, so it’s on the small side. In terms of power, it heats up food quite nicely at 700 watts. The microwave has 10 power levels, a child safety lock, a turntable, and a kitchen timer. It’s also countertop-friendly. Thus, even though it’s small, it’s definitely mighty.
Of course, there’s no such thing as a perfect product — and this microwave is no exception. According to reviewer Massachusetts, “there are times you have to rephrase a command for it to work.” For example, the command “start microwave for two minutes” didn’t do the trick, but “microwave for two minutes” worked just fine. Its few small quirks notwithstanding, it’s still a pretty cool thing to experience!
