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

It replaced a 10 yr old large microwave over my electric cooktop & was not as much distance between them. Thus Samsung is perfect. The height is perfect & fits the existing space perfectly. Because of the improved lighting inside the microwave, I can see what is cooking & how it is doing. The filters are bigger under the microwave & the light under it is much brighter. The inside of the microwave is as big as the old one. Easy to use & quieter. Two gentlemen at Best Buy were a big help. Thank you.

Not going to lie, I was worried about the installation and the look. Installed with in 20 minutes buy Best Buy and I love the look. Took me a little playing around with it to learn the functionality. The light is incredible with the three brightness settings, the exhaustion is killing it! Highest setting is very loud, but clears the air. I can fit everything I did with my old countertop one. Cooks a lot quicker too In the settings menu you can find the timer, stop turntable, and so on. Haven’t used the smart options, but will soon. I’m extremely satisfied with my purchase.

Overall I'm happy with the purchase! Cons: - app is useless, although you can imagine that an app for a microwave is not really needed, this microwave is really not that smart - buttons are not illuminated, this is an inconvenience in the morning when I don't want to turn on the lights but still want to warm up my coffee - it may be to high up if you are short and replacing from regular microwave, which is my case. It also leaves a larger gap that may not look good Pros: - smoke problem is finally solved. Before, cooking any meat would create a lot of smoke, my purifier would detect it and get on the highest setting. Strong smells, high noise from fan and purifier, having to open all windows in the house, etc all that is fixed when installing this vented to the outside - microwave is big enough for my needs, although is way smaller that the previous one, I don't really need anything bigger and it's fine to warm up food plates and drinks Led lights: the led lights are supper bright and allows me to clearly see the whole cooking surface

Great for saving counter space! Works well and fit perfectly above my stove. Looks very sleek!

I don't want to risk knocking the product. The microwave is great and installing it was easy enough that i was able to do it alone. The sense settings are fantastic and never leave us with dry or over warmed leftovers. Delivery on the other hand was a nightmare. The delivery team cancelled my first appointment without notice and I found out by calling the geeksquad team. I was given a case number and a rescheduled delivery, but no offer of compensation. (This has happened with every delivery I've had with geek squad.) If you can get it at the store do that instead.

I have a love/hate relationship with Samsung appliances. I love the concept behind them, but I dislike that I almost always run into technical issues with them. There were two primary factors driving my decision to get this microwave. First, I am on the short side and I can't reach the things I keep in the cabinet above the microwave - like cooking oils. The size of this microwave allowed me to utilize a shelf between the microwave and the range for easier access to common things. This has worked out quite well for me and I am very happy with the results. However, there have been a couple times that I tried to put something in the microwave that was too tall to fit. A quart mason jar fits with just about 1/2 inch of clearance. The top of the inside isn't completely flat, so I was able to put a Pampered Chef deep dish baker in as long as I lined the cover up with a high spot in the microwave and turned off the turn table. I was happy to see that turning off the turn table only applies to one cooking cycle. I didn't have to turn it back on again. The second factor in my decision was that I wanted smart microwave so I could set up automations such as turning the light or fan on when the cooktop is turned on, and turning the light on at sunset. I like that I can set the time on the microwave by just tapping an icon in the SmartThings app. However, I was disappointed to see that the light was the only thing I could control through automation. Creating a routine that controls the fan isn't an option. I haven't tried any of the app-controlled cooking settings yet. A few other thoughts - I like the sleek design with no handle. However, the fan button is in the lower right corner so I accidentally turn on the fan when opening and closing the door quite regularly. This is minor but when the microwave isn't in use, pressing the "Add 30 Seconds" button just sets to cook time to 30 seconds, but you have to press Start to turn it on. My last microwave turned on immediately when that button was pressed without the need to press another button. I also find myself pressing the OK button a lot when I mean to press 0 or Start - especially when the kitchen lights are dimmed. The keypad doesn't light up and I need my reading glasses to read low contrast text. Finally, and this is my biggest complaint, after multiple repeated attempts and a very long time on Samsung support chat, I wasn't able to connect the microwave to the SmartThings app on my iPhone. I sent them screenshots, a recorded the steps I was taking and sent them the video, and tried everything else suggested (unplugging and resetting the stove, rebooting my router, etc) and it would not connect to the app. Finally, one of the technicians asked if I had any Android devices in the house. I called my son down and had him install SmartThings on his Galaxy phone, and the microwave connected to the app right away. Finally, the fan is strong (a bit loud in "Boost" mode, which is the first mode that comes on, then you press the fan button 3 more times to get it to Low - I wish it went from low to high then boost), and the light is nice and bright. Overall, I'm happy with my choice.

It was easy to install. The instructions were precise, with pictures for different scenarios. It feels good to save more counter space for more cooking/serving areas.

I have been pretty hesitant in purchasing Samsung appliances in the past. While I think Samsung is a great tech company, I have seen not so great reviews on their appliances. My search for a new microwave was very specific. I was looking for a slim microwave, black stainless steel, 500 cfm fan, with some bells and whistles such as auto sensor cook. I narrowed it down to Samsung and another brand. Samsung won given that the inside of the microwave isn't plastic. I started watching the prices on best buy compared to the other big box stores. Best buy had the best price (as usual!) I ordered it online and picked it up at the store within a few hours. Installation was fairly easy, similar to any microwave. It comes with the installation guide and everything else you need. Once installed I couldn't be happier with it's performance! The sensor cook is right on. It's even wifi enabled so Alexa will tell you when your food is done. I turned that setting off but it is a cool feature to have anyway. I love love the slimmed down design. We don't microwave too often so this model is perfect for us! It works great and I have zero complaints. The price actually dropped a week later and Best Buy gave me a price adjustment! So happy!

OMG! I love this low profile Samsung microwave. I get so many compliments. I bought regular size and Best Buy was great to let me return that when we figured out it wasn’t going to work. This low profile one was the perfect size for our space. I am so pleased with this modern look. We can’t wait to get full effect after remodel.
