[Electronics-Talk] New Smart Microwave Can Be Operated By Alexa Voice Commands

[Mike]

I just got this GE smart microwave oven. It is not for the technically challenged. It failed on almost every step of the way in setting it up. I just keep going back to it so I finally got it set up. I think you must have a smart phone & if you want an Amazon device. I can now turn on the microwave & cook with echo. But have not trayed scan to cook yet. Lots more to learn. I said echo microwave popcorn, It asked me how much it Wayde. I did not know!
