Now I'm talking to my microwave

An Amazon Echo Microwave was delivered yesterday. I got it hoping to gain some counter space in my small apartment. Would you believe it set itself up? I plugged it in, moved the empty box to another room so I won't trip over it, and when I got back, it said it was ready to go. Even signed on to my wifi and updated the alexa app. One feature I really like is the clock. It syncs via wifi so it will always have the correct time. Something I never had because every time I set the clock on my old, within a few hours something happens so I quit trying.

Now I wonder if the air fryer is as bad as the reviews say. Really not too concern with that feature though I may give fries a try tonight. One thing though, that thing is big. It is almost as big as the Kenmore microwave I bought in 1982 but not near as heavy. Already cooked a couple of dishes in it via voice and it was great. The only thing I will have to remember is it is not just a microwave and not try to remove food with my bare hands after baking. Almost did it last night.
