A little small but it works
I pre-ordered the microwave about a month ago. I received it on the release date and set it up the same day. I wasn't sure it was going to work at all since I watched the delivery driver (accidentally) drop the box as she stumbled at the top step of the van (and yes, I was concerned enough to ask her if she was ok; and she said she was). Setup was easy. It's a lot smaller than my other microwave and takes longer to cook food. Other than that, it does the job. I bought it, for the most part, as a novelty item/conversation piece. Now, if it would deliver the food when it's done, I would be impressed ;) I had to move my Echo Dot into the kitchen so I don't have to scream commands into the living room. I'll have to order a new Dot now. I tested the "pop 2.5 oz popcorn" command and found that I had to add a minute to the time as the first bag didn't pop all the way. It reheated a dinner plate, defrosted 1 lb ground beef, and cooked oatmeal with no time adjustments. The popcorn replenishment program is a nice idea but I can get the same popcorn locally for about a third of the price for the same amount. When I unboxed the unit there was a plastic corner piece in the corner of the box. No one, so far, has asked what it's for; nothing is said about it in the any of the documentation either. I used it to set my Dot on in the kitchen. Once I get some double stick tape, I will be mounting it on the wall in the corner of my kitchen for the Dot. The biggest dinner plate it can handle (from my dinnerware) is the 10" plate and I can use my cover on it. Someone seemed to have an issue about it wouldn't let them run the microwave from their Fire Stick remote. I'm assuming that their Fire Stick remote is a voice remote so I tested this using my Fire Stick voice remote (after muting my Echo and Dot devices) and was able to control the microwave with it. I would have attached photos but the upload photos function doesn't seem to be working at this time.
