Samsung - 1.1 cu. ft. Smart SLIM Over-the-Range Microwave with 550 CFM Hood Ventilation, Wi-Fi & Voice Control - Stainless Steel

The aesthetics of the microwave including the glass capacitive controls on the front are indeed appealing and feel high-quality. The fan also is very powerful and out performs my previous over-the-range model by Whirlpool. The specs here say that this microwave support re-circulate only venting, but the installers were able to connect this to an exterior venting setup easily. The experience so far seems good, but I've only had it for a week. A plastic piece belonging to one of the grease screens broke off easily within the first hour, which is disconcerting. Those parts can be washed for re-use, but I usually tend to replace them every year anyway, so I suppose it's not the end of the world. After synchronizing the time on this microwave with my phone using the SmartThings app, the microwave constantly shows a static time (whatever was set by the phone). Power cycling the microwave did not solve this issue, nor did manually setting the time. It's okay though: I like to think it's 17:35 ... somewhere, right? Lastly, regarding the app, for those who like to configure their microwave's cook power (like my family does) instead of relying on sensor reheat settings and such, this microwave will require you to pair it with SmartThings and configure the microwave's next cook cycle with your phone. I personally think that's a cool setting, albeit inconvenient. However, guests and my father noticed the lack of this feature from the front-facing controls. All in all I don't regret the purchase. The microwave is indeed short but for my life style this is fantastic. And I even got to learn how to tile a backsplash.

The microwave itself is great. I love the slim footprint as it allows much easier access to the cook top. The led lighting is fantastic. However, the cook top light glass was broken inside the box. Best Buy was less than helpful, and I had to have a service call from Samsung to get a replacement glass, which took 13 days. That was inconvenient. Still love the microwave, I just wouldn't buy another major appliance from Best Buy again.

I was sooooooo worried that it was going to be too small for everyday usage and no stores had any in stock to see before i bought. I panicked for no reason, this microwave is PERFECT!! Heats well, very quiet, the lights are clean looking and BRIGHT!!! I dont have a HUGE house so visually this microwave is a BEAUTIFUL addition as well!

Installation was flawed. I should have done it off measurements as oppsed to the wall template. Also it would be great if the keypad lit up. Lastly the led lighting is so common now it would have been so much better if you could adjust the color temperature to match adjacent led lights in the kitchen.

Excellent space saving and sleek design. Total tech installers were excellent. Would certainly recommend this unit to anyone replacing their old over the range microwave.

Sales process was good. Item was delivered damaged. We were able to return the item and get a new one delivered. The sales rep gave an an instore credit for our time.

I bought this microwave to gain more cooking space over our new, taller range. My wife and I installed it fairly easily (50+pounds). Two weeks in it is working well, and the controls are easy to navigate. The vent fan and over range light are both top notch. We have not used the voice control or Bluetooth functions yet. The only issue we’ve had so far is the location of the door opener in relation to the control pad. My wife and I have both inadvertently hit the keypad while opening the door. If you don’t notice, it can lead to some weird cooking times. I think that locating the opener grip on the bottom of the door would be safer. Other than that, more space, good function and nice appearance have made this a good choice for us.

Works great. Powerful exhaust fan. Stylish. Don’t really need the WiFi feature but it’s fun for playing tricks on family members.

Finally a microwave that not only looks beautiful but makes total sense to make it not high since I never understood why they were so tall in the first place, all that space for nothing since dishes with food are just a couple of inches tall. It’s the “best buy” of the microwaves, looks beautiful and works flawlessly.
