Incredibly flexible as a countertop unit
|Posted .Owned for 5 months when reviewed.Features
Quality4 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Love this item. We continue to use it everyday even after our kitchen remodeling was completed. Our family relied on this product for 2 months. We microwaved, roasted, baked and broiled/toasted. This is an inexpensive product so I imagine higher end products are better, but this was a godsend to us and continues to serve.

Great Convection Microwave
|Posted .Owned for 4 months when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value4 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Pros mentioned:Convection, Cooking, Ease of useCons mentioned:PriceWhat a wonderful difference from a traditional old-school microwave! Bigger, more efficient, and gives us the flexibility of convection cooking without using our bigger oven. Easy to understand and use controls, and opens like a traditional oven door, so perfect on our countertop. A bit more expensive, but so far worth every penny.

I love it!
|Posted .Pros mentioned:Design, Ease of useCons mentioned:Door, PriceI wanted to put a microwave in our island but the sliding door microwaves are extremely pricey. This one is perfect. Installation was easy, we just cut out a piece on the end of our island and installed it. It looks so sleek, and is easy to operate. Can't say enough about it. It works very, very well. I'm happy with this purchase.

Perfect for modern day cooking needs
|Posted .Pros mentioned:Cooking, DesignThis was the perfect candidate to complete our kitchen remodel due to being a convention oven and the possibility to install it as a built-in microwave. I was considering a double oven, but this unit has provided me with a second convention oven with the added bonus of higher efficiency because it has a smaller space needing heating. If you find the Samsung trim kit pricey, look up Microtrim. Microwave function is great! It heats evenly and quickly. It's awesome that I can adjust heating time mid-cycle. Warming drawer function is fantastic too. I just started reading the more complex functions and am excited to try the combination functions that use the microwave to intensify the mode of cooking (oven, grill, etc.). Other wins are that it's aesthetically pleasing--no handles to match with other appliances, easy to clean, and priced much more competively than other built-in convection microwaves out there. Best Buy made in-store pick up a breeze and the associate even offered to help transport it into my car. Though be warned--I initially purchased this as an online open box item and BB shipped it with no box; just wrapped in bubble wrap and tape. The item came damaged and returning it was a hassle. Other than that it was a good experience all around.

love the convection oven
|Posted .Pros mentioned:Convection, FeaturesI've had my Samsung convection microwave for like 4 weeks now. I love it!!! Having the extra oven to bake pies and rolls during the holidays is great!! The oven feature bakes everything so evenly because its turning the whole time. Not confusing to use, you have simple choices to choose from as far as the microwave and cooking options. Great buy!!!

Great microwave
|Posted .Owned for 1 week when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use4 out of 5Pros mentioned:Ease of useI’ve only had it 2 days and already made 2 dinners in it. I grilled chicken thighs and the skin was absolutely perfectly crispy. I’ve never been able to achieve that in any other kind of oven or grill. Next day when I reheated leftovers, it was just like it was fresh, the meat was juicy, not dry and rubbery like in other microwaves. Love the door opening down. There’s a bit of learning curve to use the controls, not totally intuitive. I’m bit nervous reading reviews about it stopping working pretty soon, so I hope those are just unfortunate exceptions.

Damaged out of the box
Posted .Cons mentioned:Denting, Door, Home useWe are very disappointed that after spending a significant amount of time and money looking for a microwave that we would get one that so clearly damaged at the factory. Please see the attached two pictures. The first is the "stock" picture of the Samsung - 1.2 cu. ft. Countertop Convection Microwave Model: MC12J8035CT that we purchased. The second picture is of the microwave that we received from Best Buy. I picked it up from the store in Brookfield, WI. Got home, unpacked it and you can see in the picture the dent and the lack of the ceramic enamel that should be there. The door does not close properly due to the dent. You have to close the door with some force in-order for the door to close completely and the interior light to turn off. We will be exchanging this for another one at Best Buy later today, however until we get one in working order my rating for this is only 1 star, willing to change our rating once we get a working non-damaged one.

Q: QuestionIs the turntable removable and can you turn it off- so it doesn't rotate?
Asked by Vic.
- A:Answer Yes, the turntable IS removable, and there is a button on the right side to stop it from rotating, why you wouldn't want it to rotate escapes me.

Q: QuestionCabinet opening dimensions for trim kit?I'm trying to design new cabinets that will hold this microwave, using the available trim kit. It looks like the trim kit is intended for use in a 30" wide cabinet unit, but I cannot find any information on the recommended width and height of the rough opening in the cabinetry, or details on how the trim kit is installed. Anyone have hands-on experience with the trim kit for this microwave?
Asked by mring14.
- A:Answer DO NOT buy trim kit - This model IS NOT to be installed in a cabinet, etc After reading other answers I can verify that I contacted Samsung today and they verified that this microwave can NOT be installed inside anywhere and that the trim kit advertised for use with the item is NOT for use with this item (unless you just want to add a useless piece of metal to the outside of your microwave.) This microwave is NOT designed to be "installed" in a cabinet, etc. It is designed to be placed ON a counter top with at least 8" above it - but better to have nothing above it. The rep stated that they need to update the website but based on what I have read and seen I do not think that is going to happen so understand what you are buying and what you are NOT buying.

Q: QuestionHow well does it toast? Would you still want a toaster, or will this unit do?
Asked by Jan.
- A:Answer Yes the manual has instructions for making toast. It took roughly 5 minutes and only one side really browned.

Q: QuestionDoes the unit vent out heat when using convection and ca it be installed in a cabinet without venting.
Asked by Goat44.
- A:Answer I have mine placed in an oversized cabinet allowing venting around the edges and at the top. This cabinet is above my double oven. This seems to work during the times I have worked the convection process several times in which the appliance cools itself off after convection use. I have had the convection up to 450 degrees with no problem so far.

Q: QuestionCan this microwave bake like a regular convection oven ?
Asked by KC.
- A:Answer Yes
Answered by PawPaw3006
Q: QuestionI am looking for a bottom or right hinge counter top microwave, is this bottom?
Asked by Jane.
- A:Answer Yes. It's a bottom-hinged door. Please note that if you plan to use this on a countertop, then the door is fine. But if you put it on a shelf that is higher up than a countertop, you will have to lift cookware above the open door and up into the oven. If you're not over 6' tall, it can be very hard to do.
Answered by TheProductDoctor
Q: QuestionIs this microwave a countertop? (I plan on putting it on the wall with a metal bracket kit made for this)
Asked by Carola.
- A:Answer Yes, this is a counter top microwave. I would be careful mounting to the wall as the door opens down and not to the side, so it needs to be low enough that you can reach in and not touch the door when taking things out.
