Lovely machine, cool and sleek. Slightly different to what I'm used to
4/5
Great looking microwave, sleek and cool. As with all Samsung appliances it's well made with premium materials and feels robust.
After using it now for a couple of weeks I have taken a star off for two reasons:
1. The window in the door is so dark that you cannot see through to the food being cooked. For things like a bowl of soup it's nice to be able to to hear in from time to time to make sure it has bubbled over and splattered the inside of the oven. However if you were using the right setting and time then this shouldn't happen anyway and even if it does the easy clean ceramic interior shouldn't take much more and I wipe over.
2. They made the controls somewhat awkward to use unless you are using one of the auto cook features. On other microwaves I've had in the past you can literally hit a button or 2 and cook something for a few minutes. On this one to merely setup cooking a frozen McCain's baked potato is at least 10 prices of different buttons. You have to select microwave then the power setting then the time setting which itself is just up and down arrows so to get to 8 minutes for the spud it is several key presses.
First world problems I know, but they they combine to make it slightly more awkward to use than my previous models. That wouldn't stop me buying it again however, as the unit itself is really nice and cooks food very well. I haven't got into all of the auto cook features yet but over time I'm sure they will make life quicker and easier, and as we get to know the different for our frequently cooked foods I'm sure they will be used much more. Oooh, on that.... a nice touch is that you can set up favorites, so a couple of key presses jungkook something you you do often at the right power and time setting.
All in all a lovely machine, with only a couple of minor points (which I may have been harsh to count as flaws) but are just different to what I am used to.
