It works and it matches my stove that I bought a couple years ago and my fridge that was a year or so before that. Seems cheaply made compared to my Kenmore Elite that was there since 2007, but then again so does the fridge and the stove. All of them cost more but are made poorer. We'll see how long it lasts. It does look pretty and it has most of the same buttons I liked from my old microwave. Only thing missing is it doesn't soften butter. Just melts it. Softens cream cheese tho, which I will never use. Idk. Can't win them all I guess. Oh and the door moves alot, up and down on the hinge, like its loose. It came that way and there's no way to repair it. My Samsung sticker plate is a little crooked too lol but I didn't notice that until it was already up and under the cabinet, above the stove. I said to my husband, oh well, it'll prob blow up in a year and we'll have to get a new one. Lets just not bother with it. I'll ignore it. Thats why you pay less then $300 for a microwave and not a real pricey one.

I redid my kitchen a bit which allowed me to put in an over the range micro wave oven. Looking at the available offerings on Best Buy and other sites, this Samsung being sold by Best Buy had a great price compared to other brands. Since purchasing it, I did see that a major consumer magazine says they no longer recommend Samsung over the range microwaves due to reliability issues, but looking at online reviews it looks like there can be problems with any brand of microwave oven. I ordered this microwave online with curbside pickup and the process couldn't have gone any smoother. Best Buy notified me when the product was available for pickup and I was only at the store's curbside pickup spot for about five minutes when the Best Buy employee brought out the microwave. He was friendly and professional. My only concern at that point was that the cardboard box containing the microwave did have some damage to it, but when I got it home and unboxed it their was no apparent damage to the oven itself. The installation of the oven was pretty straight forward. It comes with a bracket for the back of the wall and two templates for that and for the holes required in the cabinet above the microwave. The microwave ships in the recirculating configuration, but I added a sidewall vent and ductwork so I had to rotate the twin blowers to the correct position. This procedure is pretty much the same for all over the range microwaves and it is easy to do. I mounted the oven by myself, but it is better to have a second person help as the oven weighs about fifty pounds and it would have been easier to install with a second set of hands. Overall I do like the microwave and it is a nice looking unit, but there are three things I wish were different. For some reason that I don't understand, Samsung has elected to have the colon between the digits of the clock blink continuously once it is set. I would have preferred the colon to blink while setting the time and to remain steady once the time is set, but they reversed this for some reason. Secondly, the touch keypad requires a very firm touch to activate anything. This is in stark contrast to the touch screen on the new Samsung range I just purchased from Best Buy which activates with the slightest touch (and also has a clock where the colon doesn't blink) much like a smart phone. Finally, the keypad is not backlit. This isn't unique to Samsung though, and appears to be the norm except on the most expensive models. None of these are deal killers, just minor annoyances. This is a nice looking microwave which so far is working well. It matches very well with the Samsung NE63T8311SS range I purchased from Best Buy (which has been great so far) and I am happy with it.

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.

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.

I’ve had this microwave for about two years and have had zero issues with it. I especially love the quick 30‑second button—it’s incredibly convenient. The interior is very spacious, which makes it easy to heat larger dishes. I also appreciate that it’s smudge‑free, so I rarely have to clean the outside. I installed it myself with a little help from my neighbor, and the process was straightforward. Overall, I’m very satisfied with this microwave and would definitely recommend it.
