Excellent Microwave with a Great Modern Design
on September 11, 2026

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We are very happy with this Samsung over-the-range microwave and have been impressed with how well it performs. It has a large cooking area, heats food quickly and evenly, and the defrost function works exactly as expected. The modern black and stainless-steel design looks fantastic and fits beautifully with our kitchen appliances. One feature I particularly like is the ventilation system, which has a clever metal panel that rises when the vent is operating and helps direct steam and cooking smoke into the vent instead of letting it spread throughout the kitchen. The bright cooktop light underneath is another great feature and provides excellent visibility while cooking. The controls are easy to use once you get familiar with them, and the interior is spacious and practical. Overall, this is a very well-designed microwave that looks great, performs extremely well, and has made cooking in our kitchen more convenient.

Exceptional Ductless Performance
on September 10, 2026

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the Samsung Bespoke Over-the-Range Microwave (ME80H2160RAA) through the Insiders campaign, and it has completely changed my expectations for kitchen ventilation.For anyone who has never owned a high-performance over-the-range model, it is crucial to understand how venting works. If your kitchen utilizes a recirculating setup—meaning the air is filtered and pushed back indoors rather than funneled outside through ducts—ventilation is notoriously weak. No ductless system can fully match the raw pressure of a traditional externally ducted 400 CFM hood. However, this Bespoke unit pushes recirculating limits farther than any standard microwave on the market.Equipped with a 500 CFM motor class and revolutionary DualVent™ technology, it pulls suction from both the bottom and the motorized front vent panels simultaneously. This dual-capture design covers the front cooktop burners where heavy steam and grease usually escape. It moves a tremendous volume of air, trapping grease and clearing out pungent odors through its charcoal filtration incredibly fast, all while maintaining a remarkably controlled noise level.Beyond its superior air management, its cooking performance is flawlessly optimized. The spacious interior heats large family meals completely uniformly, eliminating the cold spots common in basic models. The glass touch control panel is sleek, intuitive, and highly responsive. While I deliberately prioritized this model's elite technical capabilities over a perfect color match with my existing dark stainless steel range, the premium aesthetic seamlessly anchors the room. It delivers the absolute absolute engineering peak of ductless air clearance combined with top-tier smart cooking power.

Very happy with it

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m really happy with the Samsung Bespoke over-the-range microwave. It looks great in the kitchen and has a nice, clean design. It also matches well with my other appliances.
It’s easy to use, heats food quickly, and the vent works well when cooking on the stove. I like having the microwave and hood combined without the unit looking too bulky. My only complaint is that the front vent filters are tricky to install
I easily paired it to the Samsung Smart Things app as well as this was needed to set the time, the app also has many features for item
So far, it’s been working really well and I’m happy with the purchase. I’d definitely consider Samsung again when it’s time to replace another appliance.

The Future of the Smart Kitchen is Samsung!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Extremely impressed with the new Samsung 1000W microwave. Really wish I had upgraded form my previous model much earlier. I like the black glass surface with stainless steel borders; matches my Samsung electric stove perfectly with its light touch selections on the glass surface. The UX is top-notch and incredibly easy to use.
The DualVent feature is very powerful and comes in handy when frying or dealing with any smokey situations in the kitchen. The fact that it can wirelessly sync with my Samsung range to turn on automatically is impressive.
The microwave is spacious enough to fit my large microwave dishes and warms them up quickly and evenly while staying quiet. The smart cooking features can adjust on the fly based on the internal sensors which is super convenient.
The feature set is unparalleled and makes me feel like i am living in the future. Will be sticking with Samsung appliances going forward.

Cool Microwave

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Those microwave is so cool. I like how it can sensor cook and has many simple pre-programmed settings. My husband is obsessed with the vent/fan because it has so many settings and the open and closed moving feature is definitely an upgrade from our old microwave. It also sensor cooks food to perfection by sensing the steam it can tell when food is cooked. I have all Samsung appliances, so this addition is great to add to my smart app appliances. The microwave automatically connects to my tange fir venting and the fan truly sucks up so much steam ans smoke, it's amazing! I like when the microwave is completed cooking I get c a notification on my TV and smartwatch that are bith samsung that my food is ready. It looks sleek and has large interior whuchupgrades my kitchen look. Very impressed.

It’s Poppin’!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This over the range (OTR) microwave has proven to be reliable and a real asset in our kitchen. The buttons are simple to understand. The door opens and closes without a loud clunk sound, The timer sound is different than the range timer so it is easy to distinguish which timer is alerting. We have enjoyed the feature of it being wirelessly connected- this is because of the number of times our family cooks or warms something in the microwave and then it is forgotten. The alerts received on our phones have saved many meals and snacks from being wasted. All-in-all, the microwave is functional, easy to use, makes awesome popcorn, has a large capacity and looks great in our kitchen. Highly recommend!

Smart Life with Samsung!!!

from Bolingbrook
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the Samsung Bespoke 2.1 cu. ft. Smart Over-the-Range Microwave at home, and it has honestly been a really nice upgrade for my kitchen. The stainless-steel finish looks clean and modern, and the larger interior is great when I need to heat up bigger dinner plates, casserole dishes, or leftovers for the family.
The DualVent Technology has been especially helpful during everyday cooking. When I’m using the stovetop, it does a good job clearing out steam and food smells that would normally hang around the kitchen. One feature I really like is the smart connection between the microwave and a compatible Samsung cooktop. When I turn on the cooktop, the microwave can automatically turn on the exhaust fan and the cooktop light. It is such a convenient little feature, especially when I have my hands full while cooking.
The microwave heats evenly and quickly, and the controls are easy to use without having to dig through a lot of settings. I’ve also owned Samsung appliances before and have had good experiences with them, so I felt comfortable choosing this microwave. So far, it has the same modern look, reliable performance, and user-friendly design I have come to expect from the brand.

Beautiful, Dynamically Functional and Easy to uUe

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Our brand new Samsung over the range microwave has exceeded our expectations. First, there are some very nice features: the wireless connectivity allows reminders when the cooking/reheating, popping is completed, etc. This is helpful for a family like ours that is always multitasking, and sometimes loses track of time and we have forgotten the reheated coffee, the bag of popcorn, or defrosting meat. The alert direct to my phone is very useful. Also, the door opens and closes very nicely. There is no slamming sound or loud clicks.. the vent fan is very powerful and has helped in the case of two kitchen cooking mishaps that resulted in a lot of smoke- the vent fan cleared that fight up- it has also been helpful to keep the kitchen temps and visibility controlled when using multiple burners and steam is coming for the pots and pans. The light under the unit is quite strong making the sharper view of the foods being cooked.
If you are looking for a functional, good-looking microwave with convenience features, we would recommend that you purchase this unit. You cannot go wrong!
