That GE seems to be the best out of the three. Especially since it has a bar code reader so you wouldn't have to guess at cooking time. ----- Original Message ----- From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Sent: Saturday, April 12, 2025 1:55 PM Subject: RE: Accessible microwave that talk and has an app
I have the same air fryer and love it! I would also like an microwave that works with Alexa but I want a more powerful one so would look at the Toshiba and found it on Amazon for $169. I’m thinking about it.

You can use the app to control it. He is looking for a Microwave that uses an app that is accessible. I know some Microwaves use Alexa to operate them also. So, I thatought the group might know of some.

I asked ChatGPT and got the following. I'd search more at Amazon or just on the web. a.. These microwaves don’t "talk" to you like a full conversation, but they respond via Alexa. b.. You’ll hear Alexa's voice say things like, “Starting microwave for 1 minute.” ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ✅ What You’ll Need: a.. Most smart microwaves need: a.. Alexa app b.. Wi-Fi c.. Amazon Echo or Alexa-enabled device (for voice commands unless built-in) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Here are some microwaves that support Alexa and have voice capabilities: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 🔊 1. Amazon Basics Microwave (with Alexa) a.. Alexa Integration: Built-in support, no separate hub needed. b.. Voice Control: Use Alexa to start/stop cooking, set timers, add extra time, etc. c.. Size: 0.7 cu. ft., 700 watts (small/basic). d.. Best For: Simple tasks, small kitchens. e.. Bonus: Works especially well if you already have an Echo device. 👉 Command example: “Alexa, microwave 1 potato.” ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 🧠 2. GE Smart Microwave Oven a.. Alexa & Google Assistant compatible b.. Wi-Fi Enabled: Full control via voice or GE app. c.. Scan-to-Cook: Scan barcodes with your phone, and it sets cooking time automatically. d.. Sizes: Varies (0.9 cu. ft. and up), more powerful than Amazon Basics. 👉 Command example: “Alexa, start the microwave for 30 seconds.” ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 🧰 3. Toshiba Smart Microwave with Alexa a.. Alexa Integration: Needs Echo device nearby. b.. Voice Control: Supports quick commands, presets, and more. c.. Size: Around 1.1 cu. ft., 1100 watts (more power). d.. App Support: Toshiba app for extra control. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Quick Comparison Table Microwave Alexa Built-In Size Power Extra Features Amazon Basics ✅ 0.7 cu. ft. 700W Super simple GE Smart ✅ 0.9+ cu. ft. ~1000W Scan-to-Cook Toshiba ❌ (needs Echo) 1.1 cu. ft. 1100W They would need to look up each device to get prices. But I suspect there are a lot more out there.
