"Having got used to the new microwave we have today thrown the camping stove into the rubbish. Our only comment would be that with the unit installed under a worktop, it is difficult to see the symbols on the visual display....sitting on a chair is not much help and we wonder why Samsung appear not to expect that Seniors will use a microwave.
Delivery was on time and extremely efficient....thanks
Overall, an excellent purchase if a little costly ?"

"Hi This Combi is great only downfall is you can't easily see the icons on the screen."

"This was a great solution for our new kitchen, combining the microwave with a second oven and grill in one neat built in package. And treating it that way - primarily as a microwave, with the oven and grill only used on the rare occasion that the main oven isn't enough - it's pretty great.
It looks good, the only downside being the display, which very rarely is virtually unreadable in particularly bright direct sunlight.
As a microwave, it's straightforward: there are various built in functions, but it's easier to just put it on about the right power for about the right time. That does the job very nicely.
We have rarely used it as solely an oven or grill. They're a bit more convoluted to set going than our standalone oven, and take bit longer to get up to temperature, but totally fine for a second oven and grill.
The combination functions are where it all gets terribly complicated. You can have microwave and grill or microwave and oven, you set the temperature of each element independently, and then there's the tray height (and it has to be the right tray) - leading to a baffling number of possible combinations. The instruction manual has suggestions for various specific foodstuffs, but the tables of examples aren't especially helpful.
That said, we've got the hang of reheating something like a lasagne with less incineration on top than in the main oven - so it can be done! Baked potatoes were less successful - neither grill nor oven added much crispness in the time it took to microwave.
If you're after a neat built in microwave which can double as an oven or grill now and then, I'd certainly recommend it."

"We have changed from a double oven with a separate stand alone microwave to a single oven with this combination oven as the second oven. I was a little put off by the price at first, but when it arrived and matched the single Samsung oven we ordered perfectly I was very pleased. The oven has a multitude of features and pre-set options for cooking different types of food but isn't really confusing and even my mother in law manages to operate it without guidance. (She is the benchmark for technology ease of use)
The clock is easy to set, and the recessable front dials look ultra modern and sleek when pushed in and not in use.
It comes with a couple of interchangeable grills to use inside for the oven or a ceramic one for the microwave, plus it also comes with a steamer bowl.
I can't really fault this to be honest and would both recommend it to family and friends as well as buy again. We have had ours for 4 months now with no issues. "

"I bought this product to replace an earlier model. Space was a key factor as it needed to fit in the existing hole. The new model has not disappointed. Same features but in a more stylish look. Only thing I missed is the out cook feature. Facility still available but more complicated to work out. Just needed practice "

"Not a bad machine at all. Although significantly larger than a standalone combi microwave, most built in units seem to be pretty well the size of single ovens. Good all round machine with the benefit of steam. Cleaning is a breeze. "
