The bad thing about that connected microwave and it's not an insignificant one 
is that it's something like only 750 wats. For heating up things, passable, but 
not much beyond that. If you want a well performing microwave that you can also 
cook in or at least reheat evenly, you need at least 1000 wats. 
Wattage
Microwave wattage equals power. In general, the higher the wattage, the faster 
and more evenly your food will cook. Most microwaves sit somewhere between 
600-1,200 watts. Larger, more expensive microwaves tend to have a higher 
wattage, so this is a price and size consideration that can strongly influence 
microwave cooking performance.

I recently bought a Panasonic model with 1250 wats which is really strong. I 
was blowing things up until I got the feel for it. It's not connected in any 
way, but has tactile buttons which is a huge help and was what I was looking 
for instead of a smooth panel. It's 2.2 cubic feet. It's a beast and takes up a 
lot of counterspace, but I have a big kitchen so that was no big deal.
Anyway, other than that Alexa microwave that recently came out, I'm not really 
aware of any sort of other connected microwaves. I do have a Bluetooth kitchen 
scale that I use all the time and I believe that the same company also has 
other connected devices, but no microwave. https://getdrop.com/appliances/
Looks like wifi connected ovens and multipurpose devices, but no microwave. I'm 
not in need of replacing my oven, but if I were looking for one, I might even 
be interested in looking into it since the iOS app is pretty accessible for the 
scale anyway. 
Good luck.

Subject: Re: Accessible bluetooth microwave

We just bought a GE microwave that can be controlled by Alexa.  It is 
wondrously hands-free, although there are buttons behind one of those lovely 
flat plastic panels if you want to find and press them.
