After presumably running through a list of every item in existence that could conceivably be operated by Alexa, Amazon has come for the microwave. The company on Thursday unveiled a whole slate of new Alexa-powered devices including its Wi-Fi connected, voice-activated microwave. Though the Amazon Basics Microwave, which will cost $60, does not have Alexa built into it, it uses Alexa by connecting to a nearby Echo device, per CNET.new Users will be able to tell their microwave, through Alexa, how long to cook their food for and which setting to use.
