"We’ve enjoyed using the microwave oven and are very impressed with it. Not only is it a microwave, but it’s also a convention oven and a grill, meaning that you can use it to prepare the majority of your meals.
The microwave is a really modern and nice looking bit of kit and fits in well in our kitchen. It has black glass and a brushed silver handle, as well as touch controls and an LED screen.
The installation was pretty simple - It’s built in and is a pretty standard size (H)45.4 x (W)59.5 x (D)57.0, so we just had to clear out one of our cupboards and take off a door. Then it’s just a matter of plugging it into a plug socket. It’s pretty heavy though, so you definitely need 2 – if not 3 – people to lift it safely. Inside, the microwave has a 50 litre capacity and comes with 2 trays, a grill insert and a bowl for steaming.
We’ve cooked a number of different meals in the microwave, ranging from porridge in the breakfast, to toasties at lunch to pizza for tea, all of which have been cooked as we’d have expected. We’ve also used the steamer to prepare vegetables which have tasted much nicer than boiling in a pan. Something that’s pretty cool is the steam cleaning feature, which keeps the microwave clean and hygienic.
We’ve found that timings are slightly different compared to our current oven and grill – so, for instance, the grill seems to take a fair bit longer to heat up. We’ve also found that the controls have taken a bit of time to get used to.
All in all, we’re pretty chuffed with the combi microwave. It has loads of useful features – particularly the steamer and steam cleaner - it looks good and, most importantly, has cooked everything as we’d expect. "

"I expected top of the range for the price paid but very disappointed, I have timed the grill against my regular grill, regular grill won hands down. There is only one shelf If using as an oven, so can only cook one thing at a time and don't use the shelf anywhere near the top of the oven as it burns whatever is being cooked. Place on lower shelf and it takes longer to cook, ergo not very efficient fuel wise. Could have got better for less but you don't know till you try. Samsung you let me down."

"This combi oven really finishes off my kitchen.I have had a combi oven for the past 23 years but this one is the best.It is almost the same size as a conventional oven so I am able to get bigger casserole dishes and trays in it, even got the christmas bird in this year. A truly superb product"

"The product is a sleek minimalist design and would suit any modern kitchen. It has a black glass front and a brushed steel handle with touch button controls and ceramic interior which makes the oven an attractive appliance.
The oven comes with 2 oven trays a grill insert and a bowl for steaming with suits all the different cooking options the combi has to offer.
The instructions are very clear and consise and have lots of information to help you use your new combi oven.
There are some fantastic features on this product the very latest in technology, these include; Eco mode, which can be set so the oven will turn itself off after 1 minute of no activity, child lock, so the oven is protected from unintended use and another great feature is the steam clean mode which allows the oven to sanitise itself in just 15 minutes.
I think the oven is a fantastic product and would highly recommend this to anyone.
When searching for a combi microwave oven you may have a budget in mind and this may exceed it as it is quite expensive. After using this product I would suggest that is it well worth the price due to all its features and styles of cooking combined into one appliance."
