"This product is a replacement for a unit that was roughly 5 years old. It is easy to clean, does a great job heating evenly and has not had any issues as yet. The large capacity interior gives me more options for smaller size portions. Loads of options for heating, warming and cooking. Would recommend to anyone who is looking for this unit."

Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive

I would recommend this to a friend!

Overall good value in an over-the-range microwave

"This microwave is typical of our previous ones, except the cooking performance is much better.

Most of the programmed functions work as intended, and reheating is above par."

Pros: Inexpensive, cooking performance

Cons: inadequate range light, noisy fan on high speed

"We selected this Samsung beause the one that was a BEST BUY in Consumer's Report was out of stock or out of production. Our 10 year old GE Spacesaver had just died and we were looking for a quality product and discovered that Samsung's Magnitron (sp) had a 10 year warranty. SOLD!
The installation went well but the minor detail that one has to slide the vent grill to the left to acccess the charcoal fliter was NOT in the enclosed generic instructions but online."

Pros: Durable

Good Value, Nice Contemporary Design

PostedMay 1, 2012

"I own this in silver, (stainless steel). The microwave mounts with ease. Offers the ability to vent outside or ventless exhaust. It has many cooking features, and my favorite, the 30 sec quick touch button. It's a good value overall for the price."

Pros: Bright display, easy to install, nice design, good value

Great Microwave

PostedJanuary 26, 2012

I would recommend this to a friend!

PostedJanuary 26, 2012

"This replaced a 10 year old builder installed microwave. I installed it with a little help lifting the unit without problems. So far, it lives up to the reputation of other Samsung products that we have - excellent quality. My only complaints are the light should be brighter and the exhaust doesn't pull from front burners (I installed it without outside venting).

Bottom line, my wife and I are pleased with the microwave and would buy it again."

Pros: Inexpensive, Durable

Pops popcorn and reheats coffee well, but . . .

PostedSeptember 16, 2011

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

PostedSeptember 16, 2011

"First, the template provided with the microwave oven was inaccurate, causing the installer to drill two holes in our cabinet in the wrong places. He had to drill two additional holes. There were a couple minor comestic flaws: the door was slightly misaligned (1/16") and the paint on the interior had a small scratch where the door closes against the cavity. The manual contains little detail. In terms of fuctions, it pops popcorn very well and reheats coffee well. It tends to over-cook when reheating food and defrosting. When defrosting frozen food, it begins to cook the food before it stops. We keep a lot of frozen food on hand which we need to defrost quickly, so this is a major handicap. It's a good value, looks attractive, but performs inadequately for our purposes."

Pros: Inexpensive, excellent for popcorn, reheats coffee well

Cons: Did not meet expectations, overheats food, over-defrosts food

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Looks alone don't cut it

PostedOctober 16, 2012

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

PostedOctober 16, 2012

"Samsung has FAILED on this product. The construction is nearly paper thin metal that can't hold its own shape. The door does not shut well. It needs to be slammed or shoved to latch closed.The light is a fail. On full bright it's barely a faint night light BUT it's also EXTREMELY hot. You can feel the heat from it nearly 12 inches under it. On to the fan. It's very loud AND you can't run it while using the microwave. Although the fan can be changed to circulate or vent outside the vent outside option feels to also try to circulate so suction is lousy. The fan on the 3 or 4 level is louder than a standard dishwasher, nearly as loud as a hair dryer. I can't have a conversation in the kitchen when I have the fan on. The microwace is also too noisy. It cooks HOT but doesn't seem to regulate how hot or how fast. I replaced a unit with the same power rating. I miss the easy on button of my 10 year old unit.
And the DISPLAY: Is extremely difficult to read. The color is a dark blue and the brightness is low and not adjustable. I have excellent vision and the clock is not readable beyond 8-10 feet away. Even at night it's not clear and the shine on the cover only compacts this problem.
I am RETURNING this microwave.
Samsung has some great products but this microwave is not one!
Dpn't buy this microwave."

Pros: Inexpensive

Cons: Poor quality, Did not meet expectations, loud, poor functioning, light puts off excessive heat, clock display difficult to read, fan extremely noisy, fan cuts performance during microwave use

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
