Really good combo microwave and a definite upgrade to our old faithful
4/5
Great oven, good size and seems well built. Many aspects are very intuitive and well built. Overall we're very happy and this is definitely an upgrade to our Microwave of many years.
It's difficult to use the more targeted programmes as they're all based on numbers so the manual has to be referenced each time, improvements would include:
1. A plasticised reference chart, table or something would be a great / practical addition or way to ensure all programmes can easily be referenced when cooking.
2. The manual could be more user friendly, particularily explaining what each 'mode' essentially consists of, for example 'your over has 3 cooking/heating functions: (1) microwave, (2) convection over, (3) grill. Then 'Microwave is microwave only', 'Hot blast is a combination of xyz', etc.
We were also a little disappointed in the 'hot blast' feature. We assumed this was similar as what other brands advertise as 'air fryer' mode and 'hot blast' was perhaps Samsung's proprietary feature. But basically 'hot blast' seems to be a combination of grill / convection oven / microwave -- we're still figuring this out. And we're not sure how this matches or differentiates from other brands that advertise 'air fryer' mode, which would be nice to understand.
