The Amazon Basics is 700 watts. The G E is 900 watts and that is the one that I currently have. Yes, it is a bit shy on wattage and I was worried about that, but all and all, it does a good job. The last microwave we had was 1200 watts. We set this new one up with no help and have as of yet to label it. I will do this soon, but you can use it with no trouble with Alexa. The model is: GE Microwave - JES1097SMSS
Hope this helps. Kay Malmquist [email protected] Worrying does not empty tomorrow of its troubles, it empties today of its strength.

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. https://www.cnet.com/topics/microwaves/buying-guide/ 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.

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.
