Amazon Alexa-powered microwave hands-on

This is the new AmazonBasics Microwave that works with Alexa. It doesn’t have any microphones on it, nor any speaker (beyond one that can beep). Instead, it’s a $59.99 device meant to showcase Amazon’s new system for companies to make their regular gadgets into smart gadgets. The microwave includes voice presets for various foods, so you can cook just by asking Alexa. There’s also a built-in Alexa button that you can press and say simple commands.
