Voice-Controlled Smart Microwaves

The Panasonic NN-SV79MS is Compatible with Alexa

— January 6, 2022 — Tech
At the kickoff of CES 2022, the release of the Panasonic NN-SV79MS was announced and this smart microwave oven sets itself apart with the ability to take commands via Amazon Alexa. The Panasonic Smart Inverter Countertop Microwave Oven can be controlled with any Alexa-enabled device or the Alexa app.

This smart kitchen appliance is compatible with the Echo or Echo Dot and it has the ability to understand more than 100 commands. Users might choose to ask for a specific cooking time, pause, stop or resume, or defrost and reheat food and beverages. A command like "Alexa, melt 1 cup of chocolate in the microwave" might be used to soften or melt items in the microwave, while "Alexa, warm food for 15 minutes" is all it takes to keep meals heated.
