[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had my Smart Over-the-Range Microwave with Convection & Slim Fry for almost a year now. It took me a while to get used to the electronics, but I now love it. I use it more than I use my regular Smart Samsung dual door stove and oven,(which I also love). I really like the SmartThings App…I can program the mode and cooking temps and time from my smart phone, and it alerts me when finished cooking. I would purchase again!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Loving my new microwave

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently had the new 1.7 cu. ft. Over The Range Convection Microwave installed in my home. I have to say that it looks amazing and fits in perfectly with the rest of my appliances. It is so much better than the one I had before. I didn’t realize how much I would appreciate having the larger microwave.
There are many things I like about his unit. First, I like the way it looks in my kitchen. It is sleek and was easy to install. Next is the functionality. I am really enjoying the slim fry option. Cooking French Fries or Chicken Nuggets for the kids are a breeze with this option. The warmer is super helpful when I am cooking a large meal and don’t want one of my dishes to get cold. The lights and fan functions work great when I am cooking on my cooktop. These lights make seeing what I am cooking so much better, and the fan keeps the steam away so that I can actually see my food while I am cooking it.
They have also included a Steam Clean option on this microwave which is a huge bonus for me. I used to dread having to clean the inside of my microwave. Now it is so much easier to clean that I can do it more often. My microwave has never looked so clean.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used this for several weeks and I have to tell you I am so impressed at all it can do. Lot's of bells and whistles for sure. I love the voice command. Nothing better than to be able to tell it want to do when your hands are full. It took me a few I must admit to figure out all the different option available, But once I did it was a breeze. Then to be able to roast a chicken and not have the kitchen get warm. The SlimFry feature is one of my favs too. I have a busy household with 7 people here and it just flows easy. They all have used it and love it too. I almost don't need a range with with all the extras. With the holidays coming it is going to be wonderful to have a extra oven! I really don't have anything to say negative about this product. Thank you Insider's for allowing me to review this microwave. From a family of 2 or a full large family this be a great pick for your home. I almost forgot add. It cleans itself! :)

Luxury microwave

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This microwave looks and feels like a premium product. Just opening and closing the door feels satisfying.
Exterior of the microwave looks sleek. No handle design makes the microwave look modern. Stainless steel finish looks great. Inside the microwave has plenty of space for anything you would need to microwave. It has a blue ceramic finish inside. I prefer this finish over the basic white finish inside most standard microwaves. Only complaint is that it’s a bit difficult to see inside while the microwave is operating, which is not really a big deal to me. The light underneath is a bright LED light that does its job. The duel vent fan system also does its job well when cooking on your stove top.
There’s more to this microwave than being a good looking appliance in your kitchen. Convection oven capabilities is a game changer! We get pretty hot summers where I live. It’s great to be able to cook something in the microwave without heating the house up using the oven. I baked a small cake in the microwave the other day! Never thought a convection oven in the microwave was necessary until I owned it. Now I will never go without. This smart microwave will link to your smart oven as well. It’s pretty neat. Does cool things like automatically turn on your vent when you’re cooking on your stove top.
A+ design and A++ functionality. If you’re looking to replace your old microwave look no further. This microwave will not disappoint!

Our New Go To Cooking Appliance

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is hands down the best microwave we've ever owned.
This thing has so many cooking modes that you'll be hard pressed to find something that you can't cook in it. We've microwaved dishes to heat them quickly, we've cooked crispy chicken using the convection oven feature, we've cooked chicken nuggets with the slim fry feature, we've baked cakes, and we've defrosted frozen meats quickly and safely. Each meal has come out awesome.
Since we can use this as a convection oven, we've used this most of the time instead of the oven to keep the house cooler. The fan on the microwave turns on automatically to exhaust hot air and keep the house much cooler than when using a normal oven. Plus, the convection oven circulates heat so well that meals cook a bit quicker too.
In addition to the many cooking features, this thing looks amazing and we've received many compliments on it. The microwave looks so sleek without a handle sticking out front, it's smooth and flows with the rest of the kitchen so nicely.
While there's no tactile feel with the buttons, they're very responsive and have performed perfectly. The buttons are flush with the microwave adding to the nice looks.
If you have a smart home setup, you'll be happy to know that this microwave integrates with that and with the Samsung Smartthings app. You can setup cooking modes from within SmartThings and send them to this microwave. You'll also be notified when your food is ready on your phone if you're in another room helping your kid with homework or watching the game on TV. These features are so helpful and you'll appreciate them integrated into your microwave.
Oh, I also want to note that this microwave comes with some awesome and useful accessories. The enamel backing pan has been used on almost every meal we've made. It helps meals cook evenly and crispy, while also being easy to clean. Thanks for including that Samsung!
We've had a ton of fun testing out different types of recipes in the microwave and been pleasantly surprised at how well they've turned out. If you're looking for a kitchen appliance that can cook a ton of different foods quickly and easily, I highly recommend this super microwave.

Super 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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the last of my major kitchen appliances, I have converted all of them now to Samsung! I will say I have not been disappointed and this microwave is not any different. It far exceeds my expectations. You can tell the design team put some hours into thinking what would the user want.
Starting off it looks sleek and goes with the kitchen. The large back glass to the lighted buttons on the side. I like that I don't have to pull a handle, it's on the side where you can see it.
It has the ability to pair with the app which was very easy and pretty cool. It has bright white LED lights that shine down below. The fans are strong but quieter than my old one. Even when the microwave is in use it is not as loud.
There are a lot of preset functions to it. Like melting butter, steaming, defrosting, and even reheating food.
This microwave has plenty of power, rated at 1000 watts. You have the ability to reduce the power if wanted.
Overall, this is much better than my old microwave and it complements my kitchen and cooking a lot!

Samsung Microwave: another great Samsung product
on September 24, 2021

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a beautiful and elegant microwave. We had previously a 2.1 cu ft. and we replaced by the Samsung 1.7 cu ft. stainless steel. I really don't see much a difference between the 2.1 to the 1.7 as I consider this Samsung pretty spacious inside. The microwave is stainless steel and fingerprint resistant, which makes cleaning way easier. Also, it complements really nice our kitchen and pairs with our Samsung smart range.
Setting it up was fast: you just go to the Samsung Smart App and it took a few minutes to set up everything; the app found the microwave and synchronized with my Samsung smart range. Then the most amazing feature ever: the fan turn on automatically every time that you turn on the stove top. Not to mention that the fan is really quiet and powerful to remove all the steam and odors. Another great feature is the child lock, which is also very handy when cleaning the front of the microwave.
This microwave have so many features, some are the usual microwave feature such as auto defrost, reheat, popcorn, etc. But there are other new features such as melting butter, which makes melting butter cleaner and not as splashy; slim fry, which grill chicken tenderloins perfectly (as long as you use the special tray provided for the slim fry).
Altogether, this is an amazing product and big update to our kitchen.
