Too bad Alexa failed even at basic tasks, I bought an Amazon BRANDED smart microwave/oven, which worked fine until on Thanksgiving I told it “bake at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 30 minutes” from the upstairs (my kid had put the food in while I was in the shower), and it wasn’t until 20 minutes later I smelled smoke that I realized Alexa had somehow interpreted “_ at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 30 minutes” (I looked at the Alexa log of how it had parsed my words, to try to figure out where it went wrong) to mean “please burn down my house”.

I’ve also noticed they aren’t selling that microwave anymore.
