Works
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Microwave works great but it was missing mounting parts, one of the mounting screws was stripped and broke in half. There were loose screws like the microwave had been taken apart.

Samsung 1.7 cf Microwave
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Don't want to downgrade my rating too .uch for something that is superficial but the buttons on the microwave could be more visible and easier to push. Other that's that it looks and cooks great.

Not a good product
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We are not happy with this microwave. I like the way it looks but it is not safe. Everytime we shut the door, it turns on and starts to run. If we pull down a pinch on the handle, it stops.

not thrilled
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.had this microwave for 13 months and now i cannot use it because it runs with only closing the door. cannot set timer or anything
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from Samsung
Posted .Hi 13monthsisallIgot,
Thank you for sharing your experience with our microwave. Samsung always intends to provide great products and satisfaction to our customers. And I want to apologize if it runs with only closing the door and cannot set the timer. If the microwave has power, but will not respond to any commands or only certain buttons work, clean the control panel and try a power cycle. If the panel still doesn't respond, service is required.
Please click on this link for a troubleshooting guide regarding your panel.
https://www.samsung.com/us/support/troubleshooting/TSG01001961/
If your microwave turns on by itself after you close the door you may need to clean the door, check the latch, or ensure that the door is closed all the way. But if your cooktop lamp will not turn off, then it may just be wet from recent cooking. Follow this guide to get things back to normal.

Moving forward here are other options to speak with our representatives for further assistance.

Would not Recommend
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Buttons are not very easy to press and are not always responsive. You also cannot set a timer and then use the microwave at the same time. Fingerprints show like crazy. Would not recommend.

Not so good.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.First delivery it was damaged. Second delivery, buttons did not work. Returned and upgraded to a better model. I also did not like that I could not use the toner and microwave at the same time.

||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.LOVE it! Replacement for my 9 year old Samsung that went kaput :( Same"ish" model, a few less features but gets the job done and fits the space, coordinates with the other Samsungs that are still hanging on... Hope to get more years out of this one...

||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We bough a microwave which was delivered on 12/10/2020 and because I didn’t have help to install it right away, I could only do it on 12/26, once the return period was over.

Mother in law is happy

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I like it and it functions well. Getting accustomed to its location as it replaced a white appliance and the dark face seems as though it is open, though it isn't.

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this microwave thinking Samsung would be a good brand to start with. After 1 month of use, It turned off by itself and I couldn't restart it backup trying all the trouble shooting methods. Samsung sent a technician and he has to carry the unit back to his office because he couldn't get it fixed at my house either. Now, so far I'm left with no microwave for a week.

Very upset with this hunk of junk!
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was finally installed yesterday. The installer was very nice but once he left the unit started making a horrible noise. We contacted Bestbuy after over an hour on hold and had a representative who was nasty and not helpful. He told us since our installation ticket was not closed out yet we had to wait to file a call about the malfunction! I was beside myself. We did not just purchase this but an entire new kitchen from them. Best part was the one they took out was working perfect, we just brought everything a matching set. So here we are with no working microwave and bestbuy offering us no help after spending almost 4000...shameful!

||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best Buy installed May 5 2021. July of 2022, the latch on the door breaks. Thirteen months of use and now I have to repair or replace it. The door alone (can't fix the latch...have to replace the entire door) will cost $149...not to mention tax and other charges. It is a shame that a Samsung product barely lasted beyond the warranty period. Not very pleased with Total Tech helping me with this either.

Never installed
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am utterly disappointed. I purchased this back in May, had it installed incorrectly in June and since then multiple installers have come out and stated they don't have the tool to fix it. I've several Best buy numbers to remedy the situation and nothing gets done. It is now July and My kitchen is still not functional. I'm also missing a microwave and the new garbage disposal is leaking every where.
