Samsung MS23H3125AK-Solo Sensor Microwave Oven in Black Finish, 750 W, 23 liters

This microwave was chosen not because of reviews or features, but because a close relative has one in use for about two year and no issues and is really pleased with it. It looks well in the all black livery (it also comes in Black and White ). Controls are simple to understand and you are up and running in minutes. Some nice touches are the sensor heating for vegetables - very good for items like broccoli, but not so good for carrots which need a few times through the sensor cycle to cook properly. The frame inside the door along the top has a handy chart summarising the cooking and defrost settings for common items. A nice touch and very useful too. Defrosting works well at recommended settings without tilting over into cooking the item too.All microwaves vary even if the max wattage is the same. There will be a little trial and error to get things just right if you are replacing an old microwave.When new, the door is latch when opening can cause the microwave to move slightly on the worktop, but it soon loosens enough for this to stop happening while still retaining a solid door closure. Its easily cleaned too and would look very smart in any kitchen, traditional or modern.

So far everything is great, good instructions, easy to follow. Haven’t used all the features yet but it has worked well for general use. Tried the ‘Healthy Cooking feature’ with green beans, they cooked to perfection, much better than my old microwave where they ended a bit shrivelled up! It looks good on worktop, like the matt black sides and top together with the gloss front. The dial knob is solid, not sure why other people have criticised it. Would definitely recommend.

Great microwave. Had had it for a few months now and would really recommend it.Pros:-Easy to use.Heats food effectively and evenly.Looks good in the kitchen.Has many auto-cook settings.Has a sensor which monitors your food humidity and adjusts cooking time and power to heat food without drying it out.Very easy to clean.Eco mode means clock is not displayed all the time and so reduces power usage when not in use.Cons:-None that I have come across yet.

This replaced a old Samsung microwave which on looks was identical but has much better controls and programming options. Once mastered new control options I’d recommend as it was £45 cheaper than the same microwave from Currys with free next day delivery.

Very quick delivery which was lovely, although witnessing the courier drop it out of the van was not the highlight of the experience, for which I didn’t not receive a single apology for him.Luckily it was not damaged and works very well.Had a chance to use the de-odourising function and it works very well. It’s very smart and sits proudly in my new kitchen xx

Arrived damaged as seen in pics. Unless you have time to wait around for the day whilst they send you a replacement and pick up the last I suggest you get this product from argos. I had to wait for an exchange for 3 days after this one was delivered (even though I'm with Amazon prime) and they can't offer a Saturday so as I work I basically have to put up with paying £90 for something that is cosmetically damaged.Microwave looks smart, apart from the damage and has lots of functions. It is easy to use. I would however advise getting a not slip mat to put it on as it's very lightweight and slips when you open the door.

Pros: Looks greatCons:Unit is very light so when you pull the handle to open the door the whole unit moves. (It's on a granite surface)Start button is in a rather awkward place on the bottom right under the rather large dial. Button would be much better placed at the top.It's not intuitive in it's operational functions eitherTakes longer to heat items on full power than I would have expected, but the last microwave was a 900W so maybe this is expected.

the first one was faulty. An issue with the light bulb. The service from the company was excellent.The second one was perfect.I wish I had bought a more powerful oven, not just a 800w one but that was my poor choice.The oven works beautifuly.
