WORKS WITH ALEXA
Add voice control by combining with an Alexa device
  • Now it’s easier to defrost vegetables, make popcorn, cook potatoes, and reheat rice. With an Echo device (not included), quick-cook voice presets and a simplified keypad let you just ask Alexa to start microwaving.
  • Compact size saves counter space, plus 10 power levels, a kitchen timer, a child lock, and a turntable.
  • Alexa is always getting smarter and adding new presets.
  • External dimensions (Width x Height x Depth): 17.3 in. x 10.1 in. x 14.1 in. ; internal dimensions (10 7/8 in. x 6 7/8 in. x 10” in.); Turntable (Diameter): 10 in. ; Maximum Popcorn bag size: 3 oz

We want you to know:

An Echo device (not included) is required to use the voice control features and quick-cook voice presets.

As with all microwaves, preset performance depends on a number of factors and may vary. Learn more.

When microwaving popcorn, make sure the bag does not touch the inner wall by folding the edges and/or placing at the center of the turntable. For best results, we recommend bag sizes of less than 3 oz.

AmazonBasics Microwave simplifies cooking by letting you microwave using your voice and an Echo device. Just say, “Alexa, reheat one cup of coffee,” and Alexa will start reheating with the appropriate power and time settings. Quick-cook presets mean there’s no need to guess cook times or heat levels when you’re defrosting vegetables or microwaving a potato. Plus, Alexa is always getting smarter and adding new presets.

Alexa, reheat one cup of coffee

Amazon Basics microwave unsafe/substandard
The paint is bubbling and coming loose from the metal inside my microwave and could be falling into my food. Large amount of moisture builds up on floor of microwave. My caregiver says it is hazardous for me to use.It is the most modern item i've ever bought and i trusted the Amazon name. There is nothing Amazon can do and I've called 4 times and had very helpful customer service people looking into it. I was hung up on several times by the automated service after many prompts and much time spent. I bought hundreds and thousands of dollars worth of things on Amazon since 2020 and especially in 2020. I appreciate the service I've gotten from Amazon until now. I'm very disappointed because I bought other Microwaves brand new and they never melted down or deteriorated like this one did in a short time. I don't think Amazon's name should be associated with substandard hazardous products!! I am disabled and can't afford to buy new microwaves every 3 years on my income of $900 a month.I would really appreciate if somebody could help me get a microwave that is safe for me to use. Emily with customer service has been calling me regularly trying to do something for me around this which I really appreciate but none of my photos that I've sent via email to her have gone through and she can't see these photos that I submitted here so we're kind of at this round & round and round place.. and I hope that maybe by posting here she can see these pictures because I've submitted them via email 25 times now And she's not receiving them and some things just not working with that. Do appreciate everyone's effort tho..I still need a safe microwave.
Thank you for your feedback

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazon Basics Microwave with Alexa unboxing, setup, commant tips and review
Reviewed in the United States on February 8, 2019
So far this has been a fun little Microwave Oven to have. The family is learning the Alexa to Microwave voice commands. One of the most important commands to use it "Alexa STOP Microwave". You cannot say Alexa "turn off", "off", "quit" or "cancel" microwave. I wouldn't waste my time pushing the Alexa button on the microwave if your trying to turn it off as the cancel/stop button is to the left of that button and your just wasting your breath.

My wife originally did not want a "Smart Home" and now she is growing into the convenience of the system. My favorite is the light controls and audio quality with the Echo Plus. We have a Echo Dot in the kitchen to play music, set the timers and to control the microwave but honestly the Echo devices anywhere can do most of that and they are very sound sensitive.

The microwave has a very efficient foot space and seems to be designed well. So far as I know it is only available in the color black and it is the only size available within the Amazon Basics label. This microwave was very affordable. We got it for $41.00 shipped and the packaging was OUTSTANDING! They even put a plastic three sided corner part to keep the weakest part of the box from splitting during shipping. The box is so good that we can use it like a file storage box. Its a heavy cardboard with side handles.

The microwave's power seems to be just fine and with the help of Alexa the cooking times are accurate for each item. For example, you can say "Alexa microwave a potato" and she asks "how many?" and I say "one" and she replies "microwaving one potato for six minutes and fifteen seconds". Easy Peezy.....

The instruction manual is well explained and even better it comes with a small cheat sheet of commands and the other side has the setup instructions.

You can watch a video on how simple the setup is and a basic demonstration on how the unit works. There is a child lockout function simply by depressing the "pause/stop" button once and the "0" button twice. The "wifi" indicator on the timer display will turn off and to reset that just repeat the process and it is back on.

The power indicator is five little rectangle LEDS at the top of the clock area. You can say "Alexa Microwave Power 5 (or level 5) and she will ask "For how long" and I say "one minute" and she replies "ok, Microwave Power 5 for 1 minute". Easy and it works great!

The Alexa button on front means you can just push it and without mentioning her name just tell it what your cooking.

The microwave does not have any fancy build in scale or volume measuring so its very "basic" ... pun intended.

Now to get one in a .9 cu ft model / brushed nickel and I am very happy! If this helped you please give me a tumbs up and have a great day!

5.0 out of 5 stars SUPER quiet and works SOOOOO well with Alexa
Reviewed in the United States on December 15, 2020
This microwave is actually smaller than I thought it would be but it’s fine because it fits a normal size dinner plate and seems pretty standard as far as microwaves go. The last microwave I had I replaced because the numbers were blue and for some reason, I have a hard time seeing blue lights. Thus, I couldn’t really see the time too well on that microwave. However, this one has green numbers so I can see it perfectly. There aren’t really any preprogrammed buttons on this except for popcorn but everything is written just inside the door to tell you what to say to Alexa. You literally just tell Alexa things like “defrost half a pound of hamburger” or “cook two potatoes” and she starts the microwave.

Best thing is, this microwave is CRAZY QUIET. I’m so used to loud microwaves that the quietness of this one constantly surprises me. I find if I’m in another room, I will occasionally have to lean over and check to make sure it’s still on... and it usually is. It does beep when it’s done but I don’t always pay attention when microwaving. I often leave the room to go watch something on tv.

If I were to say there’s a downside, it would only be that the wattage is probably slightly lower than the average microwave. I’m not really sure but I think it may take about 10% longer to cook things than an 1100 watt microwave, but every time I think that, I see that the time Alexa inputs is really close to what my last microwave did.

I would absolutely recommend and buy this microwave again... and no one gave me anything for this computer.

But you should also know I’m kind of an Alexa whore... I can’t get enough of her and she’s in every room in my house now. If you don’t want to spend a lot, the price is worth it for this and you can control it with a $15 echo flex if you don’t want to put a show or dot in your kitchen.
