   Setup is a two-step process.First, you get the oven on your Wi-Fi network (using the GE app).The “scan and cook” feature is part of the GE app (not Alexa). I tried scanning the bar code from a Stouffer’s box and It worked pretty well. It worked, but we never use it.The real deal is getting Alexa to control the oven with voice, which is a little tougher to set up.You need Alexa to learn the appropriate “skill”, then she needs to find the oven on your Wi-Fi network. Once she sees it, you’re good to go.Obviously, you need an Echo in the kitchen, near the oven, to make it work.This setup is especially good for older people, or those with vision problems, as you don’t need to see the display, or the buttons, on the microwave to use it. Just say “Alexa, microwave on high for three minutes” and away she goes. Another nice feature is that she repeats the cooking time when the oven starts, just in case she misunderstood you and has programmed the wrong cooking time.The recently released Amazon oven is probably easier to setup than this one, but it has a lot less power, so I think one is still the best. It’s more than double the price though, so if you’re on a budget, the Amazon model may be the way to go.

   Loving the “speak” function the most. All my microwaves have died in the past due to people that press buttons to hard. This limits that fault if used little to not at all.I ONLY use voice… It keeps my grubby food paws off the clean face and allows me to move. It’s a seconds saver in a time sensitive world.Yes, I have to open and close it, but that is a more robust hardware element than the soft touch buttons.I have yet to use the app barcode reader and don’t think I will… I don’t want to actually have to handle extra things (like a phone) except the food while cooking. The barcode feature seems useless at the moment until you have an always on bar code scanner hooked up to devices that use it in your house.All in all, if it lasts longer than my other nukes with less button pressing ill be happy.*the clock should auto change based on the device(s) it’s hooked up to, it’s not automatic, I had to open the app and change it. You have to set it up with the GE app… Then Alexa or Google.Alexa is easier… “Alexa, microwave for one minute thirty seconds”Goggle just doesn’t get it yet… Despite having a third party option.Use U+ connect, Geneva requires “open Geneva skill”, that is annoying! U+Connect is the simplest.

   Preface: I ordered this to add some convenience to my blind grandmother’s life and am writing the initial review the same day with the intent to edit in a week or so if I remember.After getting the microwave it was a piece of cake to set up, until it came to interfacing with the app. I’m not sure if it was my phone not having the ability to disable the smart network switching or the app not playing nice, but I couldn’t get the microwave to communicate with my phone for the life of me. I was able to get it connected and working properly with my Chromebook, a tip for those of you that might be having a similar issue, and then everything seemed to go swimmingly. It connected, clock set, and worked with Alexa very quickly. I’m sure there’s something simple enough that the GE engineer team could have done to not have to deal with such finicky methods, but at least it works.

   I’m really trying to make everything in my house “Smart”, so I was happy to see this come out. Overall, it works very well and it really helps out my disabled son. But, there are some issues. Mechanically, the door get’s stuck and doesn’t pop open when you press the open button. Have to press the button and lift up the door. Some alignment issues. Something I thought GE would be good at by now. Then the big one. On first startup, or after a power failure, you get nice non-informative messages and you cannot use the microwave. On startup, you MUST connect to the GE App first, then to Alexa App, if you miss any steps, you are pretty much dead in the water and cannot use this machine. On Power Failure, non of the control panel buttons work, all you get is a PF message. Until now, every time there is a power failure, I randomly press buttons for about a minute before it allows me to use it again. I’ve been trying to deduce what button combination it is, but still haven’t figured out. But if I see the “FOOD” message, I know I’m close ;)If GE is reading this – please hire better software engineers.Update. After a year, finally figured out that after a power failure, you must OPEN the door before any button works.

   The Alexa integration is completely useless, which one of the main reasons I got this microwave.The microwave needs to “piggyback” on your phone’s WiFi during setup. I’ve gone through both scenarios and worked with support. Nothing can fix this:If you have something like “band steering” set up on your router so that devices are automatically sent to the right WiFi, your phone will always connect to the 5.0Ghz band automatically. The microwave setup will fail because it will only work on 2.4Ghz WiFi. If you do not have band steering turned on and have separate 5.0Ghz and 2.4Ghz., the setup will work fine if you force your phone to 2.4Ghz but you will no longer be connected to the microwave once you switch back to 5.0Ghz on the phone. It sees it as completely separate networks.I don’t know if this was an oversight but it renders the Alexa and phone app integration completely useless.

   Nice, medium sized microwave. Was a little spendy, but is easy to use. Has a ton of features (too many for us) as we are not as “wired” in as some: bought based on size. About medium on noise when running, but we do have a quiet house.
