Samsung - 1.7 Cu. Ft. Over-the-Range Microwave - Stainless steel

We purchased this Stainless Steel microwave to match the new oven we purchased as well (pictured together) and so far it has worked great for us! INSTALLATION: - I decided to install this by myself and it was overall pretty easy. I recommend just watching a YouTube video to make sure you feel comfortable doing it all yourself. - They give you some paper templates to mark in the wall and cabinets where you need to mark your holes, after that you are good to go! This is a two person job in my eyes when you are lifting it into place and screwing it in. It's not that its heavy, it's just easier with two people. PROS: - It looks really nice! Seriously my favorite part is how nice the style is and the blue LED lights for the clock look sharp. - The capacity on the inside is nice and spacious, I feel like I have plenty of room for bowls/cups/large plates or whatever I need. - The microwave is quiet and works well heating up whatever I have in the unit. CONS: - The Microwave can't be running at the same time you are doing a timer. This feature is so simple and has been around for a decade but for whatever reason Samsung doesn't support it. - There is no quick start function as in I can't just put something in the microwave and hit a button for it to start right away for 1 minute. The closest thing is hitting the "+30" button and then hit start. - The bottom of the microwave only has 1 lightbulb and it's not very bright. Would be nice to have 1 bulb on the left side and 1 on the right, or just a singular bright led bulb. BOTTOM LINE: - I really think this is a great value of a microwave! It was a good price, looks really high end, works well, and I have had no issues with it. Yes it's missing a few minor functions but it's not a deal breaker for me. Whether you need a new microwave on it's own or want a stainless steel one to match the rest of your appliance, this one will work great!

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.

Was easy to install and does the job when it comes to warming up food. The only con, and maybe I’m nitpicking a little bit, but there isn’t an express ability. I have to push 1-0-0-start for a one minute warmup as opposed to microwaves I’ve had in the past and allowed me to press “1” and it’s starting right up.

Great product, but we were really disappointed with the installation crew. Our window for delivery and installation was from 12 noon to 8 pm (a very long time to wait) and they did not even arrive within that window of time. They rang the doorbell at 8:40 pm to install the microwave. NOT acceptable and not even a phone call or text to say they would be delayed.

I am a samsung fan who loves using their products. So I had to choose them as my big appliances manufacturer too. The microwave does what it needs to do. The only bad thing about it is that it is a huge finger print magnet and makes smudges very visable.

We are one step closer to completing our stainless steel kitchen. This is a very simple unit, and honestly we didn’t need all the bells and whistles. One small downside is that occasionally the cover for the light rattles when we heat food. Not every time, so not a huge issue.

I have installed many over the range microwaves by myself and this one by far was the best to install. It is so lightweight and mounts easily, granted it was a remodel install. If you are trying to install by yourself without an extra set of hands this should be your first choice.

Great looking and cooking but could of gone the extra mile and made one touch program - 1 thru 6 min and not have to do 1:00 and start, lazy I know. Also small light on panel for night light, have to turn on light to see it.
