Samsung microwave ovens: how to choose, user reviews

A microwave oven is the same familiar household appliance as a refrigerator or stove. If you’re thinking about buying one, look no further than the Samsung Microwave Oven, which combines innovation, proven technology and a well-known brand reputation. We will talk in detail about the features, benefits and characteristics of popular models.

Microwave “Samsung”: acquaintance

The simplest and most inexpensive stoves in their design have only a magnetron, which produces radiation for heating and the simplest heat treatment of food.

In advanced ovens, grill heaters are provided. Such ovens can already be a little more: they can cook dishes with a crispy crust, like from an oven.

The most complex and expensive ones have convection – a system that distills streams of hot air around the chamber. These stoves are recognized as universal.

A multifunctional microwave oven is suitable for those who do not have an oven. If the functions are duplicated by several devices, they are unlikely to be in demand, extra equipment will only take up useful space in the kitchen.

Often consumers want to save on electricity by choosing inexpensive solo options with a power of no more than 1 kW. They are represented in large numbers by Samsung. The cost of equipment depends on the functionality, and this does not affect the build quality.

Features of Samsung microwave ovens

Developers are constantly working on improving technology, using all modern technologies for this purpose. They invented a system of triple distribution of waves, which ensures uniform heating of any products.

Cameras of all Samsung microwave ovens covered with BIO-ceramics. The material is absolutely safe for humans and the environment, it is easily cleaned from stains, grease, dirt. BIO ceramic is 10 times more resistant to damage (scratches) than stainless steel. It has low thermal conductivity, therefore it reduces the heat loss of the entire device, reduces the time spent on heating and cooking. Another plus of BIO-ceramics is that it does not allow pathogenic bacteria to develop.

In the mode ECO Fashion (waiting) the stove consumes a minimum of electricity. And after pressing the ECO Button, you can reduce energy costs by up to 40%.

Using the accelerated defrost function, you will quickly get a thawed product without losing a huge amount of moisture.

Also in Samsung microwave ovens there are “Automenu” system. Using it, you can not think about time and temperature – the technique itself will select these parameters. Choose the right recipe, press the button – enjoy the masterfully prepared dish.

Advantages

Microwave technology “Samsung”, in comparison with ovens – electric or gas, has a lot of advantages:

• Saves you money and time. It is cheaper, takes up little space, does not require special care.
• You protect the room from cooking odors.
• After microwave processing, foods lose less vitamins than after standard cooking, baking, frying.

• You can cook low-calorie healthy meals without oil, fat. Vegetables will be juicy even without the use of water.
• Defrosted products retain their properties and appearance.
• Cooking in the same dishes as for serving.

How to choose

When choosing a microwave, the buyer may be guided by:

• volume;
• radiation power;
• management;
• installation method;
• coated chamber;
• additional functionality.

Volume related to how and how many people will use the appliance.

1. The large chamber can hold a whole turkey or a large pizza.
2. Medium chambers of 20-28 liters are more popular than large stoves. They often have a grill, and the more expensive ones have convection. The technique can be used not only for heating, but also for cooking dishes with a light recipe.
3. Small cabinets usually operate only in microwave mode (solo), used exclusively for heating and thawing food.

Wave power. This characteristic will determine how quickly the dish will heat up or cook. Modern stoves have a power of 600-1200 watts. In some models, it is adjustable. Some variants are equipped with inverter control, which assumes discrete operation of the magnetron (it turns on and off after certain periods of time). This technology also reduces energy costs.

Management two types: electronic or mechanical. Variants with mechanics are equipped with rotary switches, with electronics they have touch buttons and a display.

Installation method. The classic installation method is stationary. But some models are built into the kitchen to save space.

Camera cover can be not only BIO-ceramic, but also enameled, made of stainless steel. Enamel is the least expensive to produce, it is not very resistant to scratches, but it is easy to clean. Stainless steel, on the other hand, can withstand elevated temperatures, but is more difficult to clean than any other coating. The most hygienic and environmentally friendly type: BIO enamel, which we wrote about above.

Instruments with non-standard functionality designed for ease of use. They are invariably more expensive than their less functional counterparts.

Sergey, Moscow

The first thing that is remarkable about this microwave is the design and the touch panel. The capacity is just as good, especially for the price. Of course, it could run quieter (I’m talking about squeaking after warming up). The door is opaque, I can’t see anything behind it, but I quickly got used to it. In general, I am satisfied with everything – and in the kitchen it has become prettier with her, and sandwiches are made faster for work.

Anna, Vologda

Before that, I had a Samsung, worked for almost 7 years, “fell the death of the brave” during a thunderstorm (even before the installation of the machine). I chose this one because of the trust in the company and the reasonable price. A couple of minuses: tight buttons, the inability to move the door to the other side. They say that now such technologies that equipment can last 30-35 years. Well, let’s see.

Ilya, Orel

The design is modern, the door opens smoothly, there is not much noise, it heats up quickly – what else do you need from a solo stove? The work of marketers was disappointing: it had a sticker with large letters “guarantee 10 years”, and below it was written in small letters “for BIO-ceramics”. They deceive even in small things. There are no complaints about the functionality and assembly. God forbid that the guarantee is not needed.

GE83MRTQS with grill

Alexander

I put the “four”, now you will find out why. It looks like a very good stove with a large capacity. There are no cons as such, and such an assessment is only for the price. Although I personally got it for only 5 kopecks, I bought it in an online store in the midst of Black Friday, but now the price is twice as high. If you are ready to pay so much, you will not regret it: the main functionality is quite enough to satisfy all needs. No extra bells and whistles. I forgot to say: you have to wipe it often, because the light surface quickly gets dirty. But at the same time, the antibacterial coating, and this is already a plus.

Andrew R.

First of all, I like it because it heats up quickly and evenly. The case is very stylish. We tried to cook yogurt – it turned out even cool! There was not a single moment in all the months of use that let me down. The quality is top notch. Another feature: antibacterial coating. It’s like a microwave oven: you can bake, heat, cook. There are many functions, the price is acceptable – I advise.

Looks nice, works well. The only thing I did not expect was that the backlight would be red and not blue, but this was important.

Microwaves “Samsung” flawlessly cope with the tasks assigned to them. They provide quick and convenient cooking, heating and thawing of frozen foods. The most important thing is that all inexpensive stoves are not inferior in functionality to premium models from other brands. They have a set of necessary functions, which, judging by the reviews, are quite enough for users.

We wish you a balanced and successful choice.
