The device will be sold under the AmazonBasics line, and it will cost $59.99 and ship later this year. Naturally, it will come with voice-activated presets, so you can inform the microwave how you’d like to cook something and for how long by pressing the built-in Alexa button. > The device is powered by Alexa Connect Kit, a low-cost Bluetooth Low Energy and Wi-Fi module that brings smart features to standard home appliances. In that sense, the product is effectively a demo for Connect Kit in the form of a real, Alexa-powered microwave you can buy. Amazon is even including a popcorn-ordering Dash button into the device.
