Even Amazon killed their much-loved (30K reviews!) Alexa Microwave, https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Microwave-Small-Works-Al...

Plain Amazon links. We earn nothing from them.

What Amazon says

Now it’s easier to defrost vegetables, make popcorn, cook potatoes, and reheat rice. With an Echo device (not included), quick-cook voice presets and a simplified keypad let you just ask Alexa to start microwaving.
Compact size saves counter space, plus 10 power levels, a kitchen timer, a child lock, and a turntable.
Alexa is always getting smarter and adding new presets.
External dimensions (Width x Height x Depth): 17.3 in. x 10.1 in. x 14.1 in. ; internal dimensions (10 7/8 in. x 6 7/8 in. x 10” in.); Turntable (Diameter): 10 in. ; Maximum Popcorn bag size: 3 oz
