This is a compelling price for any plain old microwave this size -- but, of course, this AmazonBasics model has support for Alexa built in, too. You'll still need an Echo speaker nearby to parse your commands -- the microwave doesn't have an integrated microphone -- but if Alexa has already taken over your home, this $42 microwave is an obvious next step.

Amazon's Fire TV Cube will allow you to round up all of your remotes and gently lay them in a junk drawer. Once the Cube is set up, you can say "Alexa, turn on the TV" -- or issue dozens of other audio-video instructions -- and let the Cube take care of the rest. This cut doesn't quite equal its 50 percent-off deal during Black Friday, but it's close.
