In times of Internet of Things, a microwave should not behave just like an ordinary household appliance. And the almighty Amazon decided to use this premise to create an intelligent microwave, which talks to you and understands your commands.
The feat has the help of the voice assistant Alexa, already present in smartphones, speakers and other devices (learn more about it in this post); which is integrated into the microwave of the line Amazon Basics, making it an intelligent and interconnected appliance. Check out:
Amazon's "Smart" Microwave

The hardware division of Amazon announced this which is the first appliance of the company of the boss Jeff Bezos, a smart microwave, which can be controlled via the Alexa voice assistant, which by far dominates the smart speaker market. In the United States, according to data from the group CIRP, Amazon holds 70% market share.
This product is part of AmazonBasics, a lineup that will have other smart microwave models that can be controlled by Alexa. The basic idea of these smart microwaves is to deliver some special and operating functions that can be done by voice.
It should be noted that Amazon Basics microwave does not have a built-in voice system. The procedure for his interaction with the Alexa voice system is done through a speaker Echo, which is also from Amazon, is the one who will do the middle ground between the user's command and the action.
The Amazon Basics microwave also has Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. But, after all, what are such intelligent functions that it can perform? Amazon says that the user will be able, through voice commands, for example, to ask the microwave to defrost the chicken, cook dishes or heat the coffee. It can also warn you when the popcorn is burning, among other things.
However, for lazy people on duty, there is a warning: it will still be necessary to get up and go to the microwave to open the door and put or remove the food.
