As someone that has last used microwaves on a regular basis when they just had two dials, I could see the use for Alexa to figure out how the more more modern ones with like 40 buttons work.

The first time I tried the office kitchen microwave, I had to ask someone from accounting standing around, how to heat my cup, because that stupid thing just responded with a condescending beep to whatever I pressed :/




Was this a microwave where "hit digits to type in a time, then hit start" doesn't work? If yes then yikes. If no then you only have to learn it once and trying to use alexa sounds much more complicated.
