The Alexa microwave admittedly seemed a bit goofy when Amazon introduced it at an event this time last year.
But low cost coupled with the company built-in promotional machine have made it the best selling microwave on the site — that no small feat.Now it returning with the Amazon Smart Oven.
From the look of it, the product is a much cheaper take on devices like the June Oven.
The device adds convection cooking, air frying and food drying to existing microwave functionality.The product also represents a nice bit of cross-brand synergy, using the Alexa app or Echo Show camera to scan in labels from Whole Foods products and set itself accordingly.
Amazon says the &scan to cook& feature works with &hundreds of different Whole Foods products.The Smart Oven is available for preorder today at $250.
Orders include a free Echo Dot, because why not?
