"Works well as microwave, combi convection & grille; not used combi grille yet but can't see why it wouldn't be good also. Large interior accommodates our dinner plates, which our last microwave didn't! Controls not the most intuitive but can be learnt quickly although the control panel is a bit difficult to read without glasses. It's a shame there isn't a timer-programme function. Very happy with the purchase and with AO's service."

"I've been using this microwave over the past week now and I have to say I am very impressed. Both with its looks and its performance.
The first thing you will notice is just how sleek this microwave looks. Samsung really have nailed it in the looks department and it only gets better when you plug it in and turn it on. You will be greeted with an iced blue LED display, which really is pleased to the eye. Now I know looks aren't everything, but they do count for a lot, especially when you have to look at it everyday, in your kitchen. It's obvious to see Samsung have spent time getting the style and design of this just right.
Button layout has been kept nice and clean. They have been labeled with simplicity in mind, which is quite refreshing as I've had microwaves in the past which after 6 months of use, I still had no clue what some of the buttons did! So personally, to have something like this is perfect for me.
It has been pointed out in other reviews that the instruction manual could be improved on, and to a certain degree, this is correct. It is over complicated slightly, but for the most part you can get the gist of it.
A feature that I am a little disappointed isnt on there is a kitchen timer. My past 2 microwaves have both had this feature and its something I have used on a daily basis. Not that this is a deal breaker, but its something to be aware of.
One of the many great features on this microwave has to be the dough proofing function. You basically put your dough in there and it stays at the perfect temperature for it to optimally rise. You can also make your yogurt in here, using a similar concept as for the dough. It sets the environment just right for fermentation to take place.
Not only is this a microwave, it's also a grill and a convection oven. And the great part is you can do a combo of all 3. Which is great if you want fast cooking times but also want a crispy outer layer, on say a pastry based item.
Another great feature is the deodorizer mode. If you've cooked something in there, which has left a lingering smell or a smoky mess, you can simply press the Deodorizer button and it will zap the smell straight out of there. Genius!
You can stop the turn table from moving, with the associated button, which comes in handy if you have a larger item in there and its going to catch on the sides, whilst it spins.
The child lock is a great safety feature, and will provide peace of mind.
The eco-mode can save on the electricity bill! Press the associated button and the microwave will power down. To the point of even turning the clock off. All you have to do is either press the button again or open the door to reactivate.
Inside is made from ceramic, which is scratch resistant and very easy to clean. Perfect when things start popping and bubbling up all over the place, which is inevitable!
Overall. I would have to say, this is the best microwave I have owned to date. It looks fantastic, cooks food perfectly and is packed with features to save time and money, and also to make our lives just that little bit easier."

"This is a not just a microwave its a oven/grill/dough proofing and much much more. It cooks food evenly without cold spots, and the convection oven works as well as my fan assisted oven. It is a great size and is perfect for small families wanting to use this as their main cooking appliance or large families. The child lock is a great function that all appliances should have especially when you have little ones running around"

"The Samsung smart oven microwave, i have found is extremely good due to its multi purpose functions. It is so much quicker to be able to cook things instead of waiting for a cooker to heat up whilst also using less power! The only point i think on which could be hugely improved is the user instructions, which are way over complicated leading to confusion, i feel some recipe suggestions would be very helpful to try and get used to the microwave."
