Multi-functional and perfect for a growing family

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the sleek design of the microwave and the power of the exhaust fan. I’m not claiming I am the worst cook, but I have had to open all the doors and windows to air out the kitchen a few times, and the exhaust fan on this microwave has saved me from that embarrassment! The interior space is so large that I never worry whether a dish I have will fit. I also love that this microwave connects to the SmartThings app so I get notifications when the food is ready. Very convenient when I am trying to get multiple things done at once. It is very easy to use, and the heating cheat sheet inside the door is perfect for me and the kids to follow. I would definitely recommend it to anyone with growing kids who are eating you out of house and home because it holds a large plate of food and is simple enough for the kids to operate on their own.
I would recommend this to a friend!

AWESOME ADDITION
on August 27, 2026

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This microwave is the perfect addition to my SmartThings ecosystem.
Installation was relatively easy. I already had a previous above the range microwave/hood vent and this new one fit almost exactly at the allocated place. The metal plate needed a new holes, but that was only a few minutes work. The Microwave/Vent hood is approximately 2-3 inches toller than the old one, but the front and the back bottom sides are 45-degree slanted towards the middle making the flat back side literally only a hair toller than the old one. Adding it to my pre installed SmartThings app took less than a few seconds and the app finished all major settings for me. It grabbed the Wi-Fi connection details from my phone and only asked for the location room and the nickname I want for the microwave. If the SmartThings app is not preinstalled and populated it may take approximately 10 minutes to set everything up. You scan the code on the front of the microwave and follow the prompts.
After some search I was able to create my first routine between the Microwave hood and my Samsung range. Now every time I start my induction range, the vent and the light of the hood start automatically. The hood expands (Power Front Vent) and make the vent opening much larger (DualVent™ smoke capture) and goes above my front burners. OTR has 500 CFM. This is the most powerful Hood I have ever had. Awesome feature!
I will recommend this appliance to all of my friends.
The SmartThings app allows for you to control your appliances using your phone and get notifications/reminders for task ready. It pops on a phone or TV screen if TV SmartThings compatible. You may use it for Food for recipes & meal planning, but the best thing for my household - I do not need to drive 50 miles back home just to calm my wife that she did not forget something on. And even better you may share access with a family member or household member.
I am looking forward to get another appliance to add to my SmartThings app account.

Expanded Vent Coverage
on August 27, 2026

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This brand-new Samsung microwave owes just as much credit to its cooking power as it does to its expanded exhaust venting capabilities. The standard oven features, such as the "plus 30-second" and sensor reheat, are my daily drivers. Having this over-the-range with an expanding exhaust vent that opens during operation really helps remove more steam and cooking aromas across almost the entire cooking surface. That is a big plus for this unit. The SmartThings app allows remote control of the lights and venting fan. Once connected, it also sets the time, which can be a pain to do again after a power outage. Overall, the build quality, oven and exhaust power, and ease of operation make this a slam-dunk unit for a busy home.
