Impressive

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This paired perfectly with our stovetop. Looks great! We love that it alerts, after pairing within our blue tooth network, us on our television that our meal has finished. Buttons clean easily since there are no creases and crevices to get dirty fingers all over. The automatic fan is great and something I was unaware of before we received and installed the microwave. Powerful and great purchase!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We Love the sleek design, convection cooking, smart things app is very helpful.
Ample size and we never feel like we are short on space while cooking food in it. We definitely love the ceramic enamel interior.

Elegant microwave

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This microwave looks very elegant and sleek. The overall design with the hidden handle completes the look and makes it very modern. It looks amazing in my new kitchen. The black stainless steel adds an additional upgraded touch to the entire look. The ceramic interior and the LED lights compliments it perfectly. It is definitely bigger and more spacious than my previous microwave. Also, when it works, it is very quiet which is also a huge upgrade compared to my old appliance. Lastly, the beeping noises it makes when your food is done are pleasant to the ear compared to my old microwave which was very loud and obnoxious. My favorite feature of this microwave is the SlimFry. I was able to cook fries and chicken nuggets which were one of the best ones I’ve had: very crispy and not dry at al. In addition, some of the additional great features are the ability to do a steam clean, do auto cook or “keep warm.” Moreover, another feature that I have used extensively was the ability to connect this microwave and use it via the Smart Things app. By doing so, I am able to get a notification when my food is ready, which comes in very handy while running around after my toddler. Because of this app, I now never forget about my warmed up meal which I used to do constantly when caring for two small children. Overall, this Samsung 1.7cu ft. Over-the- Range Convection Microwave with WiFi is awesome and I cannot wait to further use it to its full potential. I recommend this appliance to all my family and friends.

Microwave meets Toaster Oven

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall, if you are looking for a great looking smart microwave that can double as a toaster oven, look no further. This thing is a beast.
The Microwave performance and features are top notch. I replaced the generic stainless-steel microwave that was put in by the home builder. I didn’t realize how bad my old microwave was until I experienced this one. My old microwave would cook food unevenly which led to hot and cold spots in my food, this was painfully obvious when heating up leftovers. This microwave cooks evenly and is slightly faster than my old one. I’ve cooked pop-corn, potatoes, bacon, and leftovers, all cooked exceptionally well.
The black stainless-steel exterior looks very elegant and sleek. It integrates nicely into our new home and matches our other appliances well. Not having a handle looked really weird to me at first and it was somewhat awkward opening the door. But now I really love the look and have gotten use to opening the door using the side grove. While the stainless-steel portion is ‘fingerprint resistant’, I can’t say the same for the touch buttons, they get finger prints very easily. This seems true across all microwaves, unfortunately this one is no exception.
I love the fact that this microwave connects to SmartThings, it allows for smart features. The best of which is that the clock is always synced. I live in a new neighborhood with a lot of construction nearby which seems to cause random power outages in the middle of the night every few months. It got annoying having to re-set the clock on my old microwave over and over (not it’s fault, but it was annoying). Connecting to SmarThings allows me to get notifications on my phone when the microwave finishes things like defrosting which is nice since I tend to get distracted (so is the life with kids). I tried to connect it to a Samsung smart range I have so that the fan would automatically come on, but I’ve had no luck. My range is a few years old, so it may just not be compatible.
The Convection over portion is nice and it can easily double for a toaster oven, I least in my opinion. At first, all the additional cooking options seemed a little overwhelming, but I’m slowly trying different things, and so far, it’s been good. I cooked bacon and potatoes and it’s done well relative to my experience with a toaster oven. I’m planning to try to bake cookies next. The cheat sheet section behind the door is a nice touch, it makes it easy to refence how to cook different foods.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really enjoy having a Smart Microwave, I forget how a microwave should work. It was hard letting my old one go, but what a difference. Thank you for including me in this campaign. I will make sure to tell all my friends and family how great it works and how much we are enjoying it. Samsung products are the way to go. It actually goes great with the stove. Now I have great looking appliances . Thank you

Nice looking and sleek

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Our new Samsung microwave has been installed for a few weeks now and as a whole I much prefer it over our old one that was from a different manufacturer. One think I like the most is that the Samsung 4201 looks sleek and matches the finish of our refrigerator. Most of my pros and cons are similar to my husbands, however I do have a couple that differ.
PROS:
- Heats evenly
- The inside is easy to wipe clean when necessary
- Dishwasher safe turntable glass tray
CONS:
- The black button screen can be difficult to clean
- Takes a little more time to reheat food than our previous microwave
Overall this seems like it will be a good microwave for many years to come. (Hope I didn’t jinx us by saying that) If you need a basic microwave that hangs on the wall then this is one I recommend.

Good for the price

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Looks good and performs fairly well for the price. Easy to operate and cooks consistently. Also very quiet. The sensor cook settings don't seem to get it exactly right the way some other microwaves I've used have been able to (but still a big step up from most older microwaves). Would not hesitate to recommend at it's price point though.

Sleek and Efficient

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This microwave has exceeded my expectations. The black stainless steel looks modern and sleek in our kitchen. It matches our other appliances and fits perfectly. I like that there is not a handle that sticks out but is within the door.
There are many functions and capabilities with this microwave. I have not been able to use all of them yet! However the ones that I have used have been easy to understand. Inside the microwave is a "cheat sheet" to remember which codes to push and understand all of its capabilities. My only complaint is I wish when I pushed the 30 second button it automatically started, instead of me needing to push a the start button - but this is a minor detail for the overall microwave.
The vent works well over the oven. The microwave is also easy to clean and maintain.
