The appliance that elicits anger and frustrated at it’s mere sight. The treacherous device that never worked right.

      Newer ones have way too many digital buttons and a loud repeating beep when finished. Even newer ones, probably Bluetooth or something

        Want to set up your microwave with Alexa for plenty of cool tricks, but didn’t know how to pick the best microwave that works with Alexa?

        Having an Alexa compatible microwave in your kitchen, you can control the microwave and adjust the cooking setting simply via Alexa’s voice control feature.

        Speaking for myself, I don’t really want Internet dependency, much less a microphone sending data to the Internet on my appliances.

          Yeah, you still have to put the food into the microwave, might as well just press the button there too.

          I could maybe see connecting it to Home Assistant to deliver a silent notification, instead of waking everyone up at night for example.

          This is the only use case I could possibly think of for networking a microwave. An enhanced mute feature.
