Review 2 for Samsung 1.6 Cu. Ft. Over-the-Range Microwave - White
very loud vibration noise

What's not so great: makes very annoying, loud vibration when magnitron runs
two and 1/2 months out from purchase date still waiting for replacement unit after three service calls to replace same parts and no difference in vibration noise. Will definitely plug new unit in to check for similar noise before even install. if same issue will request refund of money and try different mfg. seems a lot of money was spent on service calls. not wise policy, if you ask me, by Samsung.

Good Microwave So Far

What's great about it: inexpensive and works as advertised
What's not so great: a little noisy
So far this has been a good microwave oven. The vent fan is a bit noisy, but they all seem to be that way. Maybe if I had it vented outside it would be quieter, but mine is set up to filter and recirculate. The only other nitpick is that the carousel gets out of whack easily and makes noise. Other than that, it was relatively easy to install and does the job it is supposed to do.

What's not so great: So far, so good!
Looks good, works well. No complaints so far. Hope it continues to perform as advertised. I didn't have the soften/melt feature on my old one and it's been very useful. Can't go wrong with a Samsung product.

This microwave was bought to replace a 20-year-old GE over the range microwave. We uninstalled the brackets and installed this microwave with a moderate amount of difficulty, as the screw-holes on top were not completely aligned properly. The microwave performed well for a few days and then something shorted out: the light and fan could not be turned off. We unplugged it for a few days and plugged it back in again, and it was fine! It's been a week or so since then and it seems to be working alright. A little buggy, but for the price it was a good deal! I will update this review if we have any more problems.

What's great about it: Cooks evenly
What's not so great: Popcorn button time is a little long for our popcorn bags
Very nice microwave, but I'm done with Best Buy. Unless something drastically changes with the Best Buy chain, I will take my business elsewhere. As for the microwave, the only issue we've encountered is that the amount of time selected when the popcorn button is selected caused our popcorn bags to get too done. So now we just manually set the time. Other than that, it has been a great microwave for us.

What's great about it: Excelent design, function, and value.
What's not so great: Loud fan, inadequate lighting
This is an excellent value over the range microwave. We don’t need all the buttons and whistles, and this one is spot on. Cooking is even and consistent, and unit is large enough for when family comes to visit. Installation was easy to understand, however, having a older home I did have to cut into the cabinet above to attain proper clearance (this was antisipated work). Having over 20 yrs of cabinetry experience, it wasn’t a problem, if you don’t have ability, a competent contractor should be called. We love this Microwave, although the less than desired lighting, and loud fan are a minor annoyance.

What's great about it: Price! Looks good. Free shipping!
What's not so great: Very loud when in cooking or heating cycle.
Replaced a different brand due to door handle breaking, very easy install, but the unit is very loud when its heating compared to our other one. Price was great, but that may reflect why its so much louder compared to our other one. But the other one was 3x the price.

easy enough for my 10 year old to use, not too confusing for the older folks either. Nice and quiet, and the dual light works for a nice nite-lite.
Fans work fast (already over cooked something) and it didn't retain the burnt smell.

What's great about it: smaller footprint
What's not so great: loud, uneven cooking
I replaced my 12 year old Kenmore microwave with this one because we had broken the door on it. Unfortunately, this new Samsung microwave is louder and doesn't heat as well (even though it is the same wattage.) I wish we hadn't thrown out the old one!

This is one of the nicest microwaves I have ever had. The turntable is recessed into the bottom, very easy to clean and operate. The price was unbelievable! This unit is in my second home, I paid $300 more for the one in my kitchen, and I like the Samsung so much more!!!

What's great about it: Value and Quality
What's not so great: No inside divider rack
I bought this microwave on Black Friday. Had originally ordered another microwave and since it hadn't been delivered yet, cxld the order and bought this one--hoping that it would be just as nice and saved $60. I am so pleased w/our purchase. We mainly use a microwave to reheat--so I don't do any real cooking in the micro. It doesn't not have a rack inside--but I hardly ever used my old one--so that didn't matter to me. It has a beautiful look, does the job that I need it to do & has 10 yr warranty on the Magatron--which is what went on my old microwave right after the warranty ran out. So, I paid 1/2 as much for this microwave--love the look & it works wonderful & I get a longer warranty. We had other work being done at our house, so someone installed for us--but it didn't take him long at all and he said it was pretty easy. If you're at all talented in installing appliances --this should be easy for you. Also the space was already there as we were replacing an old microwave.

What's great about it: Cost, weight, installation, performance
This microwave was easy to install, looks great, and so far has perfomed flawlessly. It was well packaged and arrived in excellent condition.It has a spacious cooking area, an easy to understand panel, and is pleasing to the eye. Read the instructions on your venting options closely before bolting it it. I didn't and had to remove it to properly set the fan. However, the removal and installation is a cinch. This microwave is a 10 out of 10 to this point.

What's great about it: Price is right at $89-$99
What's not so great: Exhaust fan is LOOOOOUUUUDDDD!
Pros: Price was $99.00 when I purchased this on black friday and it works just fine. It's 1000 watt with preset function buttons.
Cons: Don't run the exhaust fan unless you like the sound of a freight train rolling through your kitchen.
Other then that I recommend this microwave.

What's great about it: Cooks good
What's not so great: Timer function is basically useless
This microwave cooks good. It's a little louder than what I'm used to but tolerable. The only thing that I've discovered deficient is that the timer function does not work the way I'm used to having a timer work, hence the 3-star rating instead of a 4 or 5. When you use the timer, you cannot perform any other cooking function simultaneously. Ie.; if you have the timer set (for cooking something on the stove for example), you cannot use the microwave until either the timer expires or you cx it. If I had realized this when I bought the unit I would have bought another unit, but I didn't discover this fact until after I had already installed it and was not about to drill more holes in my wall to install another unit, so I'll just live with it.
