Samsung MG14H3020CM

Countertop Microwave  8.5/10

By

Samsung MG14H3020CMGuaranteed to lend a modern edge to a kitchen with its sleek, asymmetrical design, the Samsung MG14H3020CM impresses not only with its design but its grilling element that makes it possible to grill foods like pizza so that they stay crispy. One aspect of this model that impressed us was the ceramic enamel interior, which was extremely easy to wipe down. Additionally, at 1.4 cubic feet, this Samsung model doesn’t take up too much space on the counter, but it’s still capacious enough to accommodate most dishes. And we especially appreciated the auto-cook options, which takes the guesswork out of heating or defrosting foods. Although the mirror-like front of the microwave looks very modern, some people may miss not being able to watch their food heat up, but that’s a personal preference. This model’s available for $175.
