Review of microwave oven
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.The microwave is performing very well. My husband installed easy! Matches other kitchen appliances. We love it . We have had no problems with it, performs very well. We will recommend to others. The price was reasonable especially no interest for 6 months-24 months.Also we liked how the salesperson walked us through each part of the process. It was all done very quickly

Looks beautiful, but I received 2 defective units
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.I wanted to love this one! I bought an entire black stainless set. I was very happy once it arrived and was installed - I’d actually had a large Kenmore microwave from 1982, so this was obviously a step up cosmetically as well as functionality. Unfortunately, I did not noticed until after the installers left that the logo was slanted off to the right. It was super noticeable and I couldn’t not see it. I definitely would not be able to be irked by it for the next decade or so, so I initiated a return/exchange. Side note, I saw others in the reviews had the same issue with the logo, so it wasn’t just me. I also didn’t like that the buttons seemed to be really stuff - I had to press really hard and do double takes with it often. Well, the new one arrived and hurray! The logo was straight. Ugh, yet again.. after the installers left and I went to heat something the next day, there is a super loud and deep mechanical/grinding/rattling sound coming from it. I tried to push on the door, push up on the unit… thinking maybe something was loose, but to no avail. Thus, I hate it, but I had to initiate another return. This time though, I went ahead and purchased the 1.1 cu ft stainless. I have high hopes that this will will do the trick. If not, I’m tempted to return everything and go with another brand. Oh and one other thing that bugs me is that the light, even on the higher setting, it’s very dull - it provides an exceptionally meager amount of light. I’m attaching two photos that show the slanted logo. My camera isn’t the best and also it was far more noticeable in person. I should add too that Best Buy has been very accommodating with my return requests. I’ve had some major issues with the range and dishwasher instal/lack there of and they’ve been helpful over the phone and kind… though the issues are still unresolved.

Modern looking microwave that works great!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.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!

Nice microwave!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This microwave was purchased with the Samsung 5.9 Cu. Ft. self-cleaning Freestanding Electric Convection Range - Stainless Steel. It replaced a traditional hood. I like this microwave, it’s a great size, but I wish it had instant one tap cooking buttons for 1 to 6 minutes like my old microwave. Thus, I only gave it 4 stars.

If first you don’t succeed....
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.Had a rough start with this one...picked this microwave up to replace our broken one but it had a defect. The thread for the internal anchor screw was missing. One side was there but the other one was missing, making mounting impossible. Bestbuy made the replacement process as good as it could be, and had the replacement quickly (had to order, model not in store). I was just out my time to deal with return/pickup process. The replacement had no issues, and so far so good. Those internal anchor threads seem pretty flimsy, maybe why they break easily.

Q: Questiondoes this Samsung 1.7 Cu Ft Microwave ME17R7021ES, need to be vented. My contractor says no. I can't find info on this.
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer This is just my "opinion". If you are going to mount over your range and you want to use the exhaust fan function , then yes it must be vented. If you are not going to use the exhaust fan function, then you would not need to vent the microwave. We use the exhaust fan and it works great. Wish I had done some more research on lighting feature. They do not light up the top of my range as bright as I expected. I am researching different or brighter lighting options. Hope this helps!
