Samsung SMH1816S Review

Over the Range Microwave  9/10

By

Samsung SMH1816SA voluminous interior, with 1.8 cu. ft., makes this Samsung over-the-range microwave seem huge compared to some other models. The gleaming exterior looks as sleek as a TV screen, with a bright fluorescent display and wide viewing window. This model has no shortage of convenient cooking presets, including popular kids’ choices, popcorn, pizza, frozen vegetables, eco mode, and even customizable settings. The 1 lb. defrost option thaws efficiently and uniformly. In fact, with so many optional features, the control panel can be almost overwhelming and cumbersome to navigate. However, with such a great capacity and high quality cooking performance, this Samsung model delivers a lot of bang for its buck ($273.26, to be exact).
