Ideal in small apartments and dorms, Can control with voice commands, Very affordable
Some features only available with an Amazon Echo speaker, Very plain design,
For someone in a small apartment or dorm, having a small microwave is a godsend. After all, frozen meals only need a microwave! It's plain, yes, but you can expand its use through an Amazon Echo device, provided you have access to one. And if you don't, t...

Inexpensive, smart home integration, compact,
Low power, Echo device required for some functions
If you are looking for a compact bargain microwave or an appliance that can integrate with your Alexa smart home, then the AmazonBasics 0.7 is a great option. It heats ups most food fairly evenly and doesn't take up a ton of countertop space, plus the add...
Simple, compact build, Automated popcorn replenishment, Clock stays up to date
Alexa doesn't always work, Small design
You might find yourself asking Alexa to prepare more than one cup of coffee once you get accustomed to only using voice commands to get your food ready. It’s a lot of fun, and another step into the future as we get to make the most out of the technology t...
Simple, compact design, Digital clock is always up-to-date, Automatic popcorn reordering, Alexa is fast (when it works)
Voice commands don't work if the door has been inactive for too long, Alexa button only works with Echo speakers, Regular-sized popcorn bags don't fit
Speaking of Alexa, remember that dedicated Alexa button on the microwave? Instead of saying, "Alexa, microwave for two minutes," you can press the button and say "microwave for two minutes." As it turns out, you need one of Amazon's Echo speakers for this...
Competitively priced, even against "dumb" microwaves, Alexa control is straightforward and easy, Setup is admirably simple, Alexa Connect Kit has real potential in the smart home
Presets don't take into account food weight, Dash reordering is limited to popcorn, You need a separate Alexa smart speaker nearby
There are two reviews here, really. First, there's the AmazonBasics Microwave powered by Alexa. Personally, I'd prefer a slightly larger capacity, but for a 700W model $59.99 is competitive – and that's before you even consider the Alexa support. Obviousl...
Abstract: Think beyond making popcorn and reheating leftovers — a great microwave oven can turn out s teamed veggies, baked potatoes, and crispy bacon that'll rival the cooking results you get from your range (and it'll do it two to five times faster). These top-te...
Alexa voice commands add some convenience and give you some additional hands-free time in the kitchen. The popcorn replenishment feature is handy if you're really into popcorn. Amazon says it can add and improve features via software update
You'll need to adjust recipes and settings for prepackaged food to account for the 700-watt power rating. Some of the preset cooking commands via Alexa produce poor results
Using your voice to control a microwave is a natural fit, and Amazon's competitive pricing essentially puts no premium on the Alexa-powered smarts. Even if you never use the voice commands, this microwave is a low-risk investment for one or two people in...

Amazon Echo speaker required to use Alexa, Plain and simple looking, May be too small for some
It depends. If you're in the market for a small, low cost microwave, then yes. At $60, it's an affordable option that works well. If you are interested in the Amazon Alexa technology, consider the fact that you'll also need to buy an Amazon Alexa speaker...
Abstract: You expect to hear about new smart speakers, displays and software at an Amazon media event. But small kitchen appliances? Not so much. That's why the $60 AmazonBasics Microwave that works with Alexa is one of the most interesting products the company an...
