Gadgets

"If you look in your kitchen utensil drawer and you have lots of gadgets, that only occasionally see the light of day, you are probably going to warm to this microwave cooker, as it’s one of those purchases that you will only ever use to its full potential from time to time.

On a plus side you could pay less, but you wouldn’t be getting all of the features that come with this one. For example, six power settings (from 100 – 800 watts), 40 programmes and a grill.

My last microwave was a Samsung and served me well for over seven years, and I only parted company with it because the paint inside was flaking, so I’m hoping that the ceramic coating on this one will last longer.

It has a 23 litre capacity and a turn table. I was surprised to see that some microwaves don’t have one and I can’t imagine why?

Well having sung the praises, here are a few down sides; you aren’t going to see much through the window in the door, as the tint is too dark. The control buttons are small and you will probably strain your eyes reading them, so if you have sight problems you are definitely going to need your glasses. The grill will obstruct cleaning the top of the inside, which isn't impossible, just awkward.

So, if you have a drawer full of gadgets, buy this micro wave, you can even do toast in it!"

Beautiful but lightweight

"So far I can only criticise it on two points: the light while running is very dim (you absolutely cannot see inside while it's on), and the door feels a bit lightweight and plasticky. I like things to feel solid and well-made. The microwave might be well made, but it doesn't feel it."

Slick and quick

"I could be missing out, but the instruction leaflet remains un read. This is so simple to use, with cooking times in multiples of 30 seconds with one push, grabbing a quick snack has never been easier."

Review of Samsung Microwave and Grill MG23K3575AK

"I love the look and style of this microwave. The door is a simple ‘pull open’ style and gives easy access to the large interior. It easily swallows a 11 inch plate (28cm) . I have never had a microwave with a grill before so there are many features that I have yet to experience. I did try the ‘combi’ mode (which is the microwave and grill at the same time) for a frozen pizza, I would never have used a microwave for this before but thought I would give it a try with the grill option. The wattage of the microwave (its an 800w unit) is reduced to 600w when using with the grill so I had to increase the time on the microwave to cook the pizza. The grill worked well and the top of the pizza was ‘firm’ like I would have usually cooked it in a conventional oven. I like the way the interior light switches itself off after 5 minutes when the door is left open to cool off after use. The unit has many preset options for cooking food, defrosting food and even has a ‘keep warm’ option (not to be used to reheat food) . Only thing I miss is under the auto-cook option my previous microwave had one for coffee/milk which was ideal for reheating a cup of coffee , I cannot see that on this model."

A nice microwave with a bonus grill

"This is a cracking microwave, so much better than my lost one. It heats everything consistently, even my half drunk coffees.

The controls take a little getting used too but easily grasped, plenty of room inside and a good solid feel.

All this from a well known manufacturer makes it a no brainer."

"I really like this microwave, due to the vast amount of pre programmed settings, for me it makes cooking for a busy family far easier.The microwave itself is a vast improvement on my previous out dated model. One of the main features I like is the keep warm setting, as it allows me to keep everything piping hot before serving. The microwave is very quiet whilst in use which is a big plus for me.

The microwave itself was delivered on time and took only moments to set up. It is my first combo microwave and I'm really pleased with how easy the functions are to use, to begin with I was a little overwhelmed with the different features as there are so many but after a few uses I soon got use to the key ones.

I love the sleek black finish and it's easy to clean and maintain, the only downside is the interior light is very dim, meaning your unable to see inside the microwave properly whilst cooking so you have to keep reopening the door to check on the food. "
