I've never had a microwave fail but I have had microwaves stop being usable because the paint starts to peel and the metal underneath starts to rust very badly. I'm hoping this ceramic interior, which looks like that used in most ovens, will last a long time unlike painted microwaves. It looks really nice. The interior is also very big. The finish is nice and it is fairly fingerprint resistant. The controls are easy to use but it does take some time to get used to as I had a different brand of microwave in the past. Some of the short cuts I'm used to aren't there but there are new ones I need to learn. The fan works well. It's not silent but it's pretty good compared to other OTR microwaves, not as quiet as some straight range hoods I've used though but it does draw out a lot of air. I'm a little dissapointed that the light on the bottom doesn't appear to be a high efficiency bulb. Looks like just a standard 40 watt incandescant. When it's running on full power, without fan or light it draws about 1600 watts of power.

Love my new microwave!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This microwave is great for me and my family. I love the presets on it because it makes easy to use for my kids(and husband). I enjoy using the reheat option to warm up a dinner plate, the sensors are doing a great job detecting just how much time it needs until it is warmed up. Sweet! Not to mention it looks great, I already had stainless steel appliance in my kitchen but this microwave stands out amongst my others. I’m very pleased with the functionality of this microwave and hope to switch all my appliances over to Samsung in the near future.

    So glad I upgraded!
    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had been on the fence about getting a new microwave for several months and I am so glad that I did! This is such a good looking microwave. It is sleek but huge! I’m pretty sure I could fit a whole turkey in there! The inside of the microwave is such a classic looking blue and is easy to clean. I especially love the keep warm and soften melt options for cooking and preparation. Overall it works better than I expected and I am obsessed with how nice it makes my kitchen look! Definitely cannot go wrong with this one.

      A Marvelous Microwave!
      [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This microwave is Marvelous! It has so many bells and whistles I dont know where to start. The exterior is stainless steel and fingerprint resistant. The interior is ceramic with a dark blue finish. It is easy to wipe away spills and messes. The inside is very spacious and will cook, reheat and defrost anything you put in it. The display has a blue glow which illuminates the clock and the selected cooking settings. It has several functions- vent- has 4 levels, light- has 2 settings, clock and several programmed cook settings. It has 1000 watts of power and sensor cook technology to ensure food is heated evenly. I have only had it for a week and decided to cook some frozen veggies. They came out great!

        Kitchen make-over!
        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First off, I love the way this looks in my kitchen. It looks as though I have upgraded. This is a large microwave, and it cooks fast. It is quite a bit quicker than my old one. It has lots of settings, some of which I haven't seen before on a microwave. There are your regular settings such as popcorn, potato, pizza and the 30-second option. It also has a fit choice option, which I haven't tried yet, but it contains pre-set cooking times for a variety of foods. There is also a soften melt, veggie, and keep warm option. The interior is spacious and easy to clean. The exterior is fingerprint resistant which is wonderful. The unit has sensor cook technology which will automatically adjust your cooking time. There is a built-in timer and end signal alert notifying you if you haven't opened the door yet. The exhaust fan is a little loud but does not bother me. Overall, this is a great microwave, and I'm happy I purchased it.

          Best microwave we’ve owned
          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This microwave replaced a counter top microwave which was taking up so much usable space. With this mounted above the Range, counter space is no longer an issue. This thing is sleek and shiny, when I first opened it I immediately thought this this is Huge... you can cook a full size turkey in it. The inside is blueish, not white like my past microwave. I’m sure it won’t look as grimy once it gets more use. The power is perfect, you can heat things up in a short amount of time and it has plenty of pre-programmed settings. The light underneath has 2 brightness settings, the light inside could be brighter. I would much rather if they came with 6000k bulbs which I may look into getting. Overall, me and my family are beyond pleased with this microwave. The only flaw I’ve noticed is the fans at the bottom to not capture all of the steam when using the front burner. Almost seems like a staggered fan in different parts would be more effective. However it’s not a deal breaker. The wife actually wants to redo all of our appliances now so it matches, I never though I would get her away from white colored appliances, all it took was this beauty to persuade her.

            Almost a smart microwave
            [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This microwave is such a sleek, attractive, and most importantly functional addition to my kitchen. Firstly, the stainless steel exterior is so sleek and attractive while the navy blue ceramic interior is so easy to clean! If you have kids or just use your microwave a lot, food gets stuck all in there and is frequently hard to clean --- and this one isn't! Also, the absolutely best feature for me is the reheat sensor which is akin to a smart microwave. It senses the food temp inside and cooks your food to perfection so no overcooking. Again, as a mom I frequently get busy with the kids and forget about food cooking in the microwave, so this feature and microwave has just about changed my life. Basically in a nutshell: Pros: - Reheat sensor - sleek design - easy to clean Cons - A bit confusing to program the clock - Maybe a bit pricy (but still worth it)

              Excellent Intuitive Microwave
              [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The microwave took just minutes to install and the family was able to use it straight away. As well as looking great, it wasn't difficult to figure out at all. Except for setting the clock, which did take a little extra to do. Cooks everything evenly and not too noisily. Love all the different settings on the panel as well. So it's a thumbs up from me and my family.

                I love the reheat with sensor
                [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This microwave is like no other. The elegance of the black stainless is just the beginning. The dark blue interior is a wonderful addition. Then there are the many microwaving options, my favorite being the 'reheat' as it has a sensor to heat your food to perfection; no more guess work. The 1000 watt heats foods in no time at all. I'd say this is the best investment I've made in a long while.

                  This is a great looking microwave that runs and performs extremely well. For beginners and DIYers it come with complete and well written instructions for an easy install. My favorite feature about this microwave is the fact that it has an actual exhaust fan. Many other over the stove microwaves just filter the air and return it to the room. This one ejects the smell and the smoke completely outside. I installed mine in my R/V and was fortunate as it was right on an outside wall, so all I had to do was install a vent in the wall. You can exit the exhaust out the back or top of the microwave making it easier to put in the wall or ceiling. It cooks well, has a full 1000 watts and the ceramic interior makes it easier to clean as well as not getting any fingerprints on the front. Its seems sturdy and well made.

                  I got the Samsung 30 in. 1.9 cu. ft. Over-the-Range Microwave in Fingerprint Resistant Stainless Steel to save on counter space, I have a 1100 watt range that works fine. In a galley kitchen space is cramped so if I can save space with this microwave then it is worth trying, how ever in the end I ended up with 2 microwaves in the kitchen. A] can you get pre delivery, and installation questions answered by a person ? No after 3 attempts I was not able to get any answers. So I knew if I did not step into the mix their would be a failure. B] So what does the consumer need to know about installation ? I went to the product page, their is a little video with information for installation, next to it, it says, NO installations will be hard wired, they must be plug in. In the video it said the cooking surface must be 30 inches below the bottom of the cabinets where the microwave will be going and they normally do NOT install if you have tile. C] What might a customer need to do to make sure installation goes smoothly ? This is everything I had to do. I measured the distance from the oven to the cabinets to make sure their 30 inches and do not have to be moved. pulled the hood loose from the screws and slide out the 2 capped live wire sets and ground while holding the hood. I got a single gang outlet box, 15 amp outlet, outlet cover and the 12/2 wire together. [ I have these spare parts on hand, the time is now 1 am ] installed and wired up the outlet, checked the newly installed outlet and extension outlet, they both had power. it should be noted I have a great deal of experience dealing with live wires Removed the spice rack and a hook holder from the space the the microwave is going to occupy. so now 1] I know the cabinets are 30 inches above the stove, so not a issue. 2] over my stove their is a big empty spot for the new microwave, with nothing for the installers to remove. 3] their is a working outlet directly over the microwave mounting spot 4] I took my sharpie and remarked the old alignment marks from back when the cabinets were installed that line up with the studs and were hidden behind the range hood. 5] I got out my ryobi 200 pc bit set I got from the depot, as it has new masonry bits, wood bits, small hole saws, bit drivers, etc. 6] made sure my dewalt drill had a full charge and put them with a roll of tape, level, and sharpie. D] Day of delivery / installation When the delivery guys arrived, I showed their installer, the alignment marks, the outlet location, the bit set with wood boring and masonry bits, etc and he said good thing I got that area all set up and the tools together or they would not be able to install the microwave. How ever it installed easy with no issues, due to my site preparation and tool assortment. E] now onto the microwave it self. I looked into the programming as it does not come with instructions for a lot of the operation of the unit. pressing the following buttons for 3 seconds reveals a second function 0 - options power level - set clock timer - lock controls stop - enter ECO mode light bulb - stove light - off, high, low, off fan - off, high, med high, med low, low, off Auto defrost - the maximum weight you can set is 6 pounds. , the fan can only be set to speed 1 or 2 while Auto defrost is on. turntable on and off - rotate on and off for the turntable - how ever in auto defrost mode, it will rotate the food regardless of how the button is set before entering auto defrost and the button is not active during auto defrost. If you press the 0 button for 3 seconds it enters options, the options are: OP-1 WEIGHT - set lbs or kg OP-1 CLOCK DISPLAY - 12 or 24 hour OP-3 SOUND - on or off OP-4 REMIND END SIGNAL - on or off OP-5 DAYLIGHT SAVINGS - on or off - turning this on advances the clock 1 hour, turning it off retards the clock 1 hour. OP-6 DEMO MODE - on or off OP-7 FILTER REMINDER - on or off 1] setting the clock issue I saw 1 review that complained about not being able to set the clock, so I check that out first. So after checking it out, I see under the power level button their is a small clock that says 3 sec. next to it. you have to hold the power level button and the display goes blank, then enter the numbers for the time you want to set, and push it again , it goes to am flashing, push again for pm, and when your ready press start. If you want to set DST hold the zero button for 3 seconds so OP-1 displays , push it until it displays OP-5 then press 1 and 2 to enable / disable day light savings time . op-2 is 12/ 24 hour selection. now your clock is set up. 2] Timer - OP-4 REMIND END SIGNAL - Issue The kitchen timer function of it, to me was not well thought out, after setting the timer, when it sounds it beeps 4 times then reverts back to the clock the same as if it had never been set. I did contact Samsung who had me go through a few steps but the rep. was not able to figure out the issue with the OP-4 option so they filled out a help desk ticket to see if they have a resolution. Upon calling them on the phone they set up a service appointment for the microwave Day of the service appointment the technician showed up on time and was vary nice. He had to call samsungs engineering department 2 times, as the first person did not under stand what he was explaining. The second man in the engineering department said this model is so new they do not even have a manual for it, how ever in looking up its internal functions, it appears the OP-4 has been changed so now OP-4 OFF - the microwave beeps 4 times at the end of any cycle, then will NOT beep again op-4 ON , the microwave beeps 4 times at the end of the cooking cycle, then will beep 1 time every 60 seconds for a total of 3 more beeps. the microwave beeps 4 times at the end of a timer cycle, then will NOT beep again the microwave beeps 4 times at the end of the defrost cycle, then will beep 1 time every 60 seconds for a total of 3 more beeps. This causes me a real issue as I use my microwave timer every day of the week to time different things, such as timing hard boiled eggs. This also causes a issue for some people who are vary busy and do not live in the kitchen of their house and use the other rooms as well, so for these people the timer function will cause a issue, as the set up of this timer is not for people who put food in the microwave then leave the area to do other things. So If your kitchen is not your main living space and your only in their when you have to be, then this is definitely NOT the microwave for you. This microwave is for some one who will be in the kitchen cooking while it is in operation, spends all of their time hanging around the kitchen as a living space, or is baby sitting the microwave waiting on it to get done . So if your kitchen is your main living space and the focal point of your house then this IS the microwave for you. This whole issue would not even be a issue if the designer had simply put in a 3 option choice of ON/ INT / OFF , INT of course being intermittent or interval as in this case it would be the same thing. so that does mean I now I have to find a real timer, which to me is a big issue as I have had a vary hard time finding kitchen timers that are not junk, so I normally use my microwaves timer. cooking / defrosting pizza button - I put in a Celeste microwave pizza pushed pizza and start, the pizza auto cooked for a total of 2 min like it says on the box, using the sensor cook feature. - came out a bit on the cool side. Cooking a second frozen pizza of the same type for 2 min by setting time then start did cook it hotter. pushed 2, 0, 0, then start auto defrost - maximum weight setting is 6 pounds I also used the auto defrost, put in 4.5 lbs frozen pork ribs, pushed auto defrost , then entered the weight 4.5 and then start and it auto defrosted them in 39 min. - came out great During the auto defrost cycle the microwave will beep 4 times at odd intervals but gives no indication on the screen, . - I put in a 7.5 lb family pack of chicken that was frozen and set the auto defrost to 6 lbs the maximum, it ran for about 55 min but when it was done all of the chicken was in fact defrosted. potato button - Cooked medium potato in zip lock bag on sensor cook, took 8 min. to cook, came out great. reheat button - I reheated a pork chop and cherry tomatoes on a plate with a over turned plastic container on top to keep any thing from splattering, on sensor reheat, it was done in a few min. the tomatoes came out perfect, while the pork chop was a little over cooked and chewy [ of course that could of been avoided if I had reheated the pork chop with normal heat from a oven. ] frozen entree button - put a jimmy dean breakfast sandwich in set it for auto cook frozen entree took 2 min 30 seconds - came out great cooking with the oven on 350 for 2 hours, did not cause the microwave handle to heat up to much to use. After cooking with the oven on broil and even at 450 for a couple hours, the microwave does not heat up too much to use. Boiling a pot of water for hard boiled eggs on the stove directly below the handle does cause it to hit 125 Deg. F, which is on the hot side to open, but does not appear to cause the handle any damage. The bottom surface of the microwave is metal and the entire interior is also metal. the stainless steel on the outside of the door is metal and the main body is also metal - how ever the handle is plastic, so is the inside of the door surface, and the front where the door is mounted is as well.

                  Great Microwave for the Price
                  [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Samsung Microwave model number me19r7041fs is a wonderful over the range unit that looks fantastic in stainless steel and has powerful fans below it. I was originally worried about how far below the cabinets the microwave would hang from the dimensions given ahead of time. I had an electrician work on the outlet for the new microwave in advance tell me that most homes in the neighborhood had the same issue of being slightly below the cabinets but worked great. The unit I chose was one of the smallest in size so that I could have a great fit without having to remodel the cabinets. It is an excellent complement to the Samsung stainless steel range below it. It has made the kitchen already look so much better. It has been great to have it in place to use the fans on it while cooking food on the gas cooktop below it. I love the fact that it has 4 power levels for the fans and 3 levels for the lights. It has been so great to have a working microwave again to quickly heat leftovers or help thaw out frozen food items. The microwave may be the smaller size in dimensions but it has the sensor cooking which helps cook the food to the desired temperature. I like the extra technology that Samsung put in this new model to make the unit even more valuable for the retail price. I did have an issue with not being able to set the clock on it to the correct time due to instructions that were not up to date for the unit. I was able to contact Samsung support via the chat feature and found out in less than 3 minutes how to set the clock. It was so simple that it put a smile on my face to finally have everything correctly set up. I will recommend this microwave to my friends and family if they are in the market for an over the range model.

                    So much room
                    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I received my microwave I was so excited. I had it installed and could not wait to use it, I open the door and oh my goodness it has so much room inside I bet you can fit a whole turkey inside this microwave. One feature that I like is the light underneath which is very useful at night. Although it took me a little while to figure out how to set the time once I figured it out it was so simple to use. iIt works great, warms up my food evenly and when I am cooking on my stove the different settings for the exhaust are a definite plus because you can select from three settings. Cosmetically this microwave is so attractive looks great in my kitchen and I am already getting lots of compliments when I have visitors. I’ve never had an over the stove microwave and this is something I should have had a long time ago, I’m in love with it and would recommend it to everyone especially those that use traditional counter top models, you won’t regret it.

                      Great Improvement from Samsung
                      [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Owning a Samsung microwave already, upgrading to a newer model was a great idea. I really like the way the Black Stainless looks in our kitchen. Using the new microwave was pretty much the same as the old, not a lot of changes , which I like. Some of the options have been streamlined to make the appearance less challenging. The microwave is a bit louder than our previous one, but I feel it cooks better and faster. Will report more as we use more functions. So far so good

                        To start, I have to confess – I am a big fan of Samsung products. Why? Very reliable brand (~70% of all electronics in my home and not only). Thus, my review might be skewed a little bit… but it comes from experience :) I just got Samsung 30 in. 1.9 cu. ft. Over-the-Range Microwave yesterday. It was delivered and installation was included, however, delivery time was so inconvenient (delivery team gives you ~4 h window and call you ~5-20 min before delivery), so I had to refuse installation; was rushing to get my kids to their sports… Now I will need to figure out everything by myself. It will not be difficult, but installation might be tough with man-power in my household – microwave is quite heavy. Do not recommend you doing installation by yourself unless you can get at least two strong folks on your team. As for the product, I did unpack it, inspected and even ran it on bench. Quality is on top (as to many other Samsung products!), so no surprises here. Stainless steel fingerprint resistant finish matches very well to the finish of gas stove also from Samsung. Heats in seconds - 10 sec good enough to warm up a cup of milk (starting from fridge T). It has light for range top with two brightness settings. It has also ventilation (convertible). The number of settings (for cooking, defrosting, etc.) is quite rich. Overall, I think Samsung microwaves are very good choice overall and this specific model in particular.

                        So, I was in the market for a new microwave, updating and switching all my kitchen appliances over to stainless steel. I came across the Samsung 30 in. 1.9 cu. ft. Over-the-Range Microwave in Fingerprint Resistant Stainless Steel and decided to give it a try over my old white GE microwave. I had it professionally installed by the Home Depot crew. The look of it was outstanding, nice bright fingerprint resistant stainless steel on the outside and a unique navy blue interior. Easy to operate and has just enough features as not to overwhelm you. Just the basics plus some standard preset buttons. The one thing I did notice about the features as we are the types to use the microwaves kitchen timer, you are unable to use the microwaves cook function and the kitchen timer at the same time and the kitchen timer doesn't have a reminder beep like the cook function does, so if you don't hear the initial beeps of the timer because you're not near the microwave, you're out of luck. But all in all those two things aren't a deal breaker on getting it.. And most importantly, the wife loves it. Oh and one other thing, some people complained that it didn't come with an instruction book. Be advised the instruction booklet doesn't look like your typical booklet, it looks more like the installation pamphlet. So I could very easily see someone accidentally throwing it out after it is installed.. Watch what you're throwing out.

                        If you're looking for a large, over-the-range microwave in stainless steel, look no further! This offering from Samsung gets all of the basics just right. It has a bright light, and a fantastic 4-speed super strong suction ventilation fan. Inside there is a large rotating plate that can be turned off with the push of a button. The microwave is easy to use, with an easy to open door handle. The stainless steel facade provides a finger-print free surface that looks great all the time, and doesn't require any special cleaning. During operation, the microwave itself is quiet. Despite being a very capable handyman, this unit was delivered and installed by Home Depot directly. I must say, i was absolutely thrilled with Home Depot's delivery and installation services. Expert level, quick install with no issues and wonderful results. If i could, i would give Home Depot a 6 out of 5! Super installation, removal of the old unit, and they took the old one for disposal as well, all within an hour! FANTASTIC service! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

                        We are remodeling our kitchen and the micro we had was old and a white one. We switched to all stainless steel. This is similar to the old one except nice stainless. For the most part doesn't show finger prints. It is a little bigger then the old one. Features are about the same except we noticed it is quieter. The bell to let you know your food is done is so much better. The old one was loud and obnoxious and went four times and if you didn't open the door every few seconds it did it again. The light underneath has two settings the blower vent has three settings. All the buttons on the oven are standard micro settings. It work well and is nice looking.

                        This is the nicest over-the-range microwave I have ever installed or used. I love the stainless steel finish. It does not show finger prints and smudges. The interior ceramic finish makes cleaning much easier. The interior size gives you a larger cooking space. Installation was not too bad. About the same for others that I have installed. Connecting the exhaust duct was a little difficult, but it all worked out well.

                        What does 1.9 cubic feet look like? About half the size of your standard oven. So ya, it's huge! If your countertop is sufficient, you can opt to forgo cabinet mounting. We used it to heat up some products with a known cooking time required by the old microwave. This appliance cooked the products with considerably less time. As with most microwaves, the control panel is clearly labeled and easy to use. I'm still trying to figure out how they made the stainless steel accents "Fingerprint Resistant." This appliance looks like an expensive commercial-grade product, delivers performance, and has a large volume interior. Way better than those $100 or less ones that end up getting replaced every other year. Go with this one, you won't be disappointed!

                        The Samsung 30 in. 1.9 cu. ft. Over-the-Range Microwave in Fingerprint Resistant Stainless Steel is a state-of-the-art kitchen marvel. It's amazing the improvements made over the builder grade microwave that came with out house. It's not only visually appealing with the fingerprint resistant surface, but it's a fully function appliance. It is large enough to handle nearly all of your needs. Operation is easy with a wide variety of functions available. The multi speed fan and multi level light are features not available in the past. Installation was straight forward fitting in a standard cabinet 30" opening. Definitely the best upgrade made to our kitchen appliances.

                        The "Samsung 30 in. 1.9 cu. ft. Over-the-Range Microwave in Fingerprint Resistant Stainless Steel" is an excellent product, I ordered this microwave oven to replace our existing one. This oven is well designed and built with quality materials. The fingerprint Resistant Stainless Steel is an impressive improvement. The logic in the control panel, the performance, and the precise instructions are also excellent. This oven was very easy to install, came with good instructions and is very accessible and easy to clean. Samsung appliances have been in our kitchen for a long time replacing the original that came with the house. We are very pleased with our new microwave oven, we love it and we recommend it.

                        I’ve enjoyed my time using this microwave and I’ve formed several opinions and made some observations. My thoughts: • The microwave has a nice outward appearance. It really does look great in our kitchen. I also appreciate that it’s smudge/fingerprint resistant. • It heats up food much faster that our prior microwave that was the same wattage. Our prior microwave was quite expensive but about 9 years old. I was honestly shocked that something that took 2 minutes in our old microwave now takes about 70-90 seconds. • The pressure needed to push the various buttons is good and accurate to each button. I know that is weird but I’ve had products that had inaccurate pressure points on some of the buttons and it bothered me. • The ‘Sensor Cooking’ works well. I’ve used it with potatoes and I was pleased with the outcomes. • Ventilation is good and met my expectations. Also, the fan is relatively quiet on the lowest mode and noisy on the highest mode. Nothing out of the ordinary. • The interior is different from our old microwave. I really like the dark blue ceramic enamel interior. So far it’s easy to clean and looks great. • There is no independent ‘clock’ button so you will need to find the instructions when setting the clock the first time. It’s slightly tricky to figure that out when you first turn it on. Basically, push the power level button for 3 seconds and it’s easy from there. • This is one things I don’t like. It has a kitchen timer, which is good. However, the timer can’t run independently (at the same time) as the microwave cooking timer. I’ve used this function for 15 years so I now need to use our oven timer or the timer on my phone when I have need for a separate timer. It’s a very small annoyance, however in 2019 I’m surprised this microwave can’t perform that function. • I like the vibrant blue lights on the display. It also has an eco-mode which will turn off (until you open the door) the LED display if you want save a little bit of energy. • It has all the heating/cooking options I like and would expect from this level of microwave. As I tested the different functions each performed as I expected with no surprises. • The light on the bottom of the microwave has two settings and works well. • Samsung is a solid brand that I trust and been pleased with for 20+ years. We have many different products from them in our home and they all seem to last and perform better than most brands. Overall, I'm pleased with this microwave. It looks great and works well for my needs.

                        This is my first impression review of this product. We had this delivered and installed yesterday. The installation crew installed with no issues and removed my old microwave without any issues. I got this microwave because the one that came with my house would not stop beeping after it was done cooking until the door was open. This drove my wife and I crazy with how annoying it was. This new unit does not do that, thankfully. The fingerprint resistant stainless steel matches my refrigerator from a different brand, and it does block fingerprints. The inside is blue in color, which is different from every other microwave that I have ever owned. It is an enamel so hopefully it is easier to clean? I have seen questions about if this comes with a chrome rack. Some people did get a chrome rack, some did not. I did not with mine. I have also seen a review that gave it one star, and it only states that they couldn't program the microwave clock. To program the clock, press and hold the power level button for 3 seconds and you can set the clock (see attached picture). \ Overall, I am happy with this, but I have only had it for 24 hours....

                        As an avid microwave user the Samsung 30" 1.9 Cubic foot over the range microwave works well for me as it is larger than most and has 1000 watts of power with ten power levels. This microwave is great for reheating, cooking vegetables and has sensor cook technology that automatically adjust the cooking time for optimal results. There is an auto defrost/ sensor reheat preset for specific times and temperatures for various foods. You can also add 30 seconds or more to the cook time just by touching the button. I like the blue ceramic enamel interior that is scratch resistant and easy to clean. The LED display is striking blue and the microwave is print resistant Tuscan stainless steel. The strong 400 CMF ventilation system eliminates steam and odors and there is a light on the bottom. The operating instructions are between poor and non existent and are not specific to this particular model. There is NO clock button, customer service could not answer how to set the clock but I located how to do it on the internet. To set the clock: push stop and turn off the display. Push power level and hold 3 seconds. Enter time. Push power level again for AM-PM as there is NO 24 hour clock on this model. Push OK/start button. The microwave has a one year warranty on parts and labor.

                        I picked up this microwave to replace my old ugly yellow one. We've gotten LG brand fridge and dishwasher but am unhappy with dishwasher. Figure we would try the Samsung brand for microwaves. Shipping time acceptable, mounting was just like all others. I do like the 4 fan settings but am surprised with that it only has 2 light settings. It looks very nice, works as it should. We have it using the external exhaust and with the 4 settings gets rid of smoke and smells pretty quick! Yea smoke, dont judge

                        Bought this unit Nov. 2022, had it delivered in December. Unit started humming an stopped working after 14 months! Looked the warranty and wouldn't you know, it only covers it for one year. I can't believe a newer, seldom used Samsung microwave just stops working after 14 months. I'm extremely disappointed.
