Great microwave and oven
4/5
This Samsung model looks very smart and so far is working very well.
Good points: The microwave feature heats more evenly than my past Panasonic model, and it is fairly quiet in operation. Using it as both a standard oven and combination oven has also been very successful. Roasting a small chicken takes just over half an hour on the Auto mode, with very good results! The oven pre-heats quickly and has cooked everything evenly that I have tried so far. The turntable is about 34cm wide, so plenty big enough for larger plates and oven dishes.
Negative aspects: the beep is very loud, but you can turn this off completely if you want. There's about 17cm height clearance inside, so if you are cooking larger items they might not fit (particularly if they need to be placed on one of the racks). However, this would probably only apply if you wanted to cook something like a large chicken. The auto modes can take a bit of getting used to - the display only shows codes (such as "H2") and weights, so you have to cross-reference these with the instructions. This is made a little more easy as there is a list of codes and their operation displayed on a sticker at the top of the door opening. The "Crispy plate" is a special tray designed for food such as chips and pizza. Unfortunately it's not very large, and can only accommodate 1 to 2 portions of chips or a 10" pizza.
Overall recommended - pretty versatile and great value.
