At the newer microwave ovens with their diverse functions bothers me the complicated and not self-explanatory operation most, the many buttons with cryptic symbols confuse the users more than they lead him to his goal. I have long adhered to an older model that was operated with only two rotary switches, one for power and one for the cooking time. Now, their time is over and the Samsung the manufacturer has found a quite good compromise between simplicity and versatility. On the front there are twelve keys for start, cooking time, and program selection. You can microwave by simply pressing the start keys put into operation, it runs at 800 watts for 30 seconds. Each press on the Start button adds the cooking time again 30 seconds added, so you can easily and quickly heat up a bit. The other functions like cooking, grilling, thawing and the automatic programs are operated via the respective keys, with which the power can be regulated. Corresponding recommendations can be found for different foods in the manual.
Upon opening the door, the absence of rubberized feet noticeable that microwave slip with, if they are not holding. The oven is equipped with 23 l. Sufficiently large, there is in him a turntable with 29 cm diameter. As an accessory, a grill, a baking tray and a water purifying vessel is included. The crusty plate the food to be better tanned, although the works well so far quite well, but the oven you can not replace it. With a frozen pizza, it has certainly worked well. The coil of the grill is not all over the cooking chamber, it is only over the rear half. With the turntable but an even tan is achieved. On the other hand is very practical, the steam cleaning function, it represents the supplied water container in the oven and start the process with the Steam Clean button. The steam produced dissolves the adhesive residues, which can then be removed more easily.
All in all, the Samsung mainly through a user-friendly operating concept points, otherwise it is with their properties, a rather inconspicuous microwave device that stands out rather through its visual presence. Actually, I'd sure be awarded 4 stars, were it not for the workmanship of my device which, if you read the other reviews, obviously not an isolated case.
