Review Text: Hay Alexa, warm up my coffee. I've always prefered Panasonic inverter based Microwaves (my 3rd in 20yrs), because they are accurate, they last and are innovative. The inverter technology was innovative 20yrs ago, a Smart Microwave is innovative today. It took me about 1 minute to add this microwave to my smart house (70+ devices). Just bring up the Alexa app, select add device and use your camera to capture the QR code just inside the door, wait a few seconds, and tell the app what room the microwave is in. That is. I could not wait to show my wife how easy this was to use, I put in a cold cup of coffee, and said "Hey Alexa, reheat 1 cup of coffee", a few seconds later the microwave came on with 80% power and 1 minute time selected, and the countdown began. Litterly hands free, except putting the cup into the microwave. I could have put in more than one cup in and it would have adjusted the warm time automatically, based on the quantity I specified. But like most new tech in my house, my wife shrugged her shoulders and said nice, and walked away.
Next I microwaved 2 cups of water, to see how powerful it was... it came to a rolling boil in under 2 minutes. Great! And for guests there is are shortcut codes, on a label adhered to the bottom front inside of microwave (see photo) just a simple list, easy to find. One thing to note, the wall plug connector is a bit oversized, it did not effect me, but had my outlet been closer to the counter, it might have. Another plus is the nice metal enclosure of the microwave, it is magnetic, so I can store my magnetic bag closers on the front or sides. I recently got another fingerprint proof appliance, and found it was not magnetic. So this was a plus for me.
I'm very happy to have found this smart microwave, the Alexa integration works very easily, once you recall the the key phrases, the secret seems to be identifying a number of items or size/weight of what your going to microwave. The turntable is almost 12.5" across, plenty large for your typical frozen pizza. Which I then tried with a simple "Hay Alexa, microwave frozen pizza" and it heated/cooked evenly.
A simply, smarter microwave.
