Unit is as described on BB website, with a feature set comparable to more expensive products. Over-The-Range installation straightforward with templates provided, but I recommend surveying the numerous videos out there to prepare yourself for the job. Hardest part for me was connecting the exhaust duct work -- aluminum sticky tape is a must! Unit is not terribly heavy, but I recommend having two persons present to heft the unit and anchor it to the cabinet. Appearance is modern, with clean simple lines and stainless steel trim. Door handle is solid.
Operation simple with very few pre-programmed cooking modes. Cook mode fan sound is average. Audible beep feedback on all buttons that cannot be adjusted or turned off. Surface lamp is adjustable but at highest setting, single OEM incandescent bulb is rather dim as a task light. If more light is desired, I recommend replacing surface lamp with brighter (>800 lumens) LED E17 bulb. DO NOT replace the interior bulb with an LED as the microwave will "cook" the clear plastic materials used to encase the LED components. Fan has two speeds, drawing through two removeable washable aluminum grease grilles.

It's beautiful but i never got to finish jnstalling it. The holes at the top are too far out and it ended up being right on the corner of the cabinet. I don't understand why they would make it so close to the edge? It doesn't make sense to me. The microwave would have fit other wise. I've called someone to come help and hopefully he'll have a solution. Either way, it's a big inconvenience.

My old microwave went out and I needed something quick. My local BB had this in stock for immediate pickup and I had a great in-store experience.
The microwave functions well and is more powerful than standard countertop models. Install was easy enough and instructions were clear. What more is there to say?

This Samsung over-the-range microwave is an excellent addition to my kitchen! It heats food evenly and quickly, with plenty of power for all my cooking needs. The design is sleek and modern, blending perfectly with my stainless steel appliances. I appreciate the easy-to-clean interior and the bright LED lighting, which illuminates my stovetop nicely. Installation was straightforward, and it’s packed with convenient features like preset cooking options and a strong ventilation system. Highly recommend it for anyone upgrading their kitchen!

The Samsung - 1.7 Cu.Ft.Over-the-Range Microwave deserves 5 stars. Excellent Microwave!
However, Best Buy's quality control leaves something to be desired, to say the least.
The first one we picked up was evidently shipped from the manufacturer on the top outside edge of a pallet full, where the banding was over tightened to such an extent that it was obvious from the outside of the box that the item inside must be damaged. That did not stop BestBuy from selling it however.
I returned it and BestBuy delivered another one. AND this one was damaged in the exact same manner but not nearly as severely. This one still functioned, so to avoid further hassle we kept it. Once installed, the damage was hidden from sight and was fairly slight, especially compared with the first one and doesn't seem to impair its performance, thankfully.
In BestBuy's favor they delivered the second one promptly and without charge.

I've had multiple over the stove microwaves and this one is by far the best. It was easy to insteal, although we needed more tape for the vent and replaced the hood in the process. It allows you to enter time to the precise digit. Easy to clean. Doesnt over cook food even on defrost... had to adjust popcorn time though.
