Replacement for Previous Samsung Microwave

PostedMarch 31, 2013
I would recommend this to a friend!
PostedMarch 31, 2013
"So far, so good. I liked my last Samsung microwave but a small plastic spring in the door latch made it unusable and resulted in my having to replace it. This one seems to be its equal in performance with an improvement in the lighting arrangement. The previous model had its cooking area lighting at the back of the unit so it lit only the back burners of the range below it--nearly worthless--but this one has its light forward so its much more helpful. Would have preferred LED lighting and dual front placed lighting but $100 more for that feature seemed excessive. Let's hope we get more than two years out of this one,"
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive
Cons: single over range light

PostedDecember 5, 2012
"I purchased this after my last microwave decided to stop heating food. It is an over the range unit, which I installed myself very easily. Set up was easy as was the learning curve on cooking food. It heats up evenly and has a number of pre-programmed cook settings."
Pros: Lightweight

Didn't last 1 year

PostedJanuary 22, 2013
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
PostedJanuary 22, 2013
"I purchased this product in a combo package frig, conventional oven, and microwave.. I bought it in november, but I didn't open my appliances until early February when my remodeling was complete. The Refrigerator was gorgeous and months later the stainless steel look had faded, a cosmetic deffect, the microwave was the first to go bad as the display faded, no lie within one month... I am a die hard Samsung fan and consumer of their 3D L.E.D televisions, 3D plasma and blu-ray players.. I own these products, but the experience of Home Appliances, has really upset me and depressed my wife.."
Pros: Bright display, classy design, high end look, products worked miracles
Cons: Poor quality, Did not meet expectations, broke down fast too fast
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

not happy with this model

PostedFebruary 26, 2013
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
PostedFebruary 26, 2013
"The performance and microwave/sensor cooking work great.
However the over the range light is terrible, only one bulb and it is very dim, and I cannot remove the bulb.
The door is plastic and poorly aligned. It is also loose.
I do like the multi speed vent fan.
Overall, I would look at other models. Would not recommend this one
"
Cons: Did not meet expectations
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

PostedFebruary 21, 2013
"The microwave works great and is very attractive however when I cook on the matching stove moisture occurs between the glass on the front of the microwave as well as inside of it even though the fan is being used. I was first told this was a defect and now I am being told it is normal on the replacement microwave."

Cons: Did not meet expectations
