Amazon Smart Oven announced with convection oven and air fryer

What you need to know

  • Amazon Smart Oven is available for $250 pre-order today.
  • It features all the features of the AmazonBasics Microwave, plus convection cooking and air frying.
  • You can scan products to automatically input cooking information into the oven.
  • Every Smart Oven will come with an Echo Dot.

The AmazonBasics microwave was a bit under-powered — which made it great for dorm rooms or other crowded spaces — but this model should be more capable and more adaptable. It still doesn't have a microphone built-in — because the microwave interferes with it — but at least this time it comes with an Echo Dot for voice controls.

The Amazon Smart Oven is available for pre-order today for $250.
