Samsung - 1.7 Cu. Ft. Over-the-Range Microwave - Stainless Steel

We purchased this Stainless Steel microwave to match the new oven we purchased as well (pictured together) and so far it has worked great for us! INSTALLATION: - I decided to install this by myself and it was overall pretty easy. I recommend just watching a YouTube video to make sure you feel comfortable doing it all yourself. - They give you some paper templates to mark in the wall and cabinets where you need to mark your holes, after that you are good to go! This is a two person job in my eyes when you are lifting it into place and screwing it in. It's not that its heavy, it's just easier with two people. PROS: - It looks really nice! Seriously my favorite part is how nice the style is and the blue LED lights for the clock look sharp. - The capacity on the inside is nice and spacious, I feel like I have plenty of room for bowls/cups/large plates or whatever I need. - The microwave is quiet and works well heating up whatever I have in the unit. CONS: - The Microwave can't be running at the same time you are doing a timer. This feature is so simple and has been around for a decade but for whatever reason Samsung doesn't support it. - There is no quick start function as in I can't just put something in the microwave and hit a button for it to start right away for 1 minute. The closest thing is hitting the "+30" button and then hit start. - The bottom of the microwave only has 1 lightbulb and it's not very bright. Would be nice to have 1 bulb on the left side and 1 on the right, or just a singular bright led bulb. BOTTOM LINE: - I really think this is a great value of a microwave! It was a good price, looks really high end, works well, and I have had no issues with it. Yes it's missing a few minor functions but it's not a deal breaker for me. Whether you need a new microwave on it's own or want a stainless steel one to match the rest of your appliance, this one will work great!

Absolutely LOVE that the "all done" beeping stops when you open the microwave door or press stop. We've had so many that don't. Also my daughter is a huge popcorn lover and the popcorn button has made peefect popcorn everytime!! Shes 7 and loves that she can make it herself because we trust the setting.

Very easy to install. Some of the instructions for installing the charcoal filter were not clear because they are generic and not specific to this model. No frills but looks and works great. Wish it had one touch starting. Overall very happy and would recommend to anyone looking for a simple, low cost, microwave.

The microwave is performing very well. My husband installed easy! Matches other kitchen appliances. We love it . We have had no problems with it, performs very well. We will recommend to others. The price was reasonable especially no interest for 6 months-24 months.Also we liked how the salesperson walked us through each part of the process. It was all done very quickly

I wanted to love this one! I bought an entire black stainless set. I was very happy once it arrived and was installed - I’d actually had a large Kenmore microwave from 1982, so this was obviously a step up cosmetically as well as functionality. Unfortunately, I did not noticed until after the installers left that the logo was slanted off to the right. It was super noticeable and I couldn’t not see it. I definitely would not be able to be irked by it for the next decade or so, so I initiated a return/exchange. Side note, I saw others in the reviews had the same issue with the logo, so it wasn’t just me. I also didn’t like that the buttons seemed to be really stuff - I had to press really hard and do double takes with it often. Well, the new one arrived and hurray! The logo was straight. Ugh, yet again.. after the installers left and I went to heat something the next day, there is a super loud and deep mechanical/grinding/rattling sound coming from it. I tried to push on the door, push up on the unit… thinking maybe something was loose, but to no avail. Thus, I hate it, but I had to initiate another return. This time though, I went ahead and purchased the 1.1 cu ft stainless. I have high hopes that this will will do the trick. If not, I’m tempted to return everything and go with another brand. Oh and one other thing that bugs me is that the light, even on the higher setting, it’s very dull - it provides an exceptionally meager amount of light. I’m attaching two photos that show the slanted logo. My camera isn’t the best and also it was far more noticeable in person. I should add too that Best Buy has been very accommodating with my return requests. I’ve had some major issues with the range and dishwasher instal/lack there of and they’ve been helpful over the phone and kind… though the issues are still unresolved.

I love the way it looks! It looks great! Also it was easy to install. You also dont need alot of tools to install it. It was fairly easy

We love our new microwave. It cooks and looks good!!!

This is a nice microwave. It is roomy on the inside with a glass turntable that is easy to clean. The buttons on the control panel require a little harder touch than I would like and I would prefer that the start button be more identifiable for when the kitchen is not well lit. I had to change the direction of the vent diverter on the top and back of the unit but instructions were adequate. The factory setting is for "top" vent position so I changed it to the "front" vent position as I was not connecting to an outside vent. The over-the-range light bulb burned out almost immediately and I had to replace it and I would prefer a brighter bulb. I installed this by myself and by following the instructions very carefully, it mounted to the wall and cabinets easily. Very nice, sleek looking.

Very good microwave, good price. Easy to pick up from store after ordering on-line.
