My whole family uses the microwave and Samsung makes it easy to use. It was also very cost friendly so I did not have to empty my wallet for a microwave.
Love the sleek modern look to this microwave! Also, the black ceramic inside is a big plus. Great price
Pros: Inexpensive
I would recommend this to a friend!

It was easy to install. I like it's big size and by being ceramic enamel inside it's very easy to clean. I like the many different features and the fact that it has a sensor.
As I write this review my microwave has only been in service for a few weeks. I bought it to replace an earlier, similar Samsung model that I really liked and that, ironically, died about one month after the magnatron warranty expired. As it was actually cheaper to update to a new model then repair the old one, so here we are.
First off. I much preferred the all-white interior of the older model to the gray interior of this model. It's far easier to see that your microwave needs cleaning in an all-white interior. Maybe that was the point of switching to gray. That said, I prefer a clean microwave to one that hides the dirt.
Second, I really like the settings guide listed on a sticker inside the door frame. That was a nice, easy, inexpensive, thoughtful addition.
Third, I really like having more control over the auto-defrost setting because it allows customized food weight input. Sure, it takes more button pushes than my old model, which only required one push per 0.5 lbs of food weight (push once for 0.5 lb, twice for 1.0 lb, three times for 1.5 lb, etc.), after which it auto-started after a few seconds of no additional input, but that is a good trade-off for having the ability to specify food weight in 0.1 lb increments. I also like that if you don't act on the prompt to turn the food over it will just continue defrosting rather than stopping.
Fourth, the top mounting holes were in a different location than my old model, forcing me to drill new holes into the cabinet under which it is mounted (which is now full of holes), but the mounting strip on the wall was identical, so that was nice. I also did not like how the top of the microwave buckled out when tightening the upper mounting screws. There should have been a rigid member to prevent this. It took several attempts to balance out a secure upper mounting with a minimum of buckling.
Overall I'm very satisfied for now. I rate it 4.5 stars out of 5.
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive, Lightweight, intuitive controls, setting guide on a sticker in the door frame, programmed settings for popcorn potato snacks
I would recommend this to a friend!

I just purchased my microwave but am excited about having a built in one above my Samsung range. Will be anxious to start using the oven.
Purchased this unit today as a replacement for a previous Samsung microwave oven that died today after 10 years of service - a real workhorse. This unit has several improvements, including excellent styling, better positioned countertop lights down underneath, better airflow around the unit during operation, and an easier to clean interior.
