Samsung MS23F301TAK Solo Microwave, 800W, 23 Litre, Black

This is the best microwave I have ever used, it's huge inside, easy to clean, it has preprogrammed buttons for cooking different things, a physical dial to change time, and multiple heat levels. It's very advanced but easy to use, and I think it is probably smarter than I am.Overall it is a great product, and I definitely recommend it

My old Russell Hobbs microwave had packed up. I was lazy looking after it (cleaning it etc) and so I knew that my replacement microwave was going to be a Samsung one.The ceramic interior sold me straight away, plus there is the added bonus of the no odour function. It's easy to wipe down, looks very smart and expensive.Super simple to use although I haven't taken advantage of all the buttons, I generally just use the timer and defrost setting!So far so good, very happy with my purchase.The only thing I would say is despite there being protective film over all the buttons and shiny bits, when peeled off I noticed a couple of scratches by the dial and buttons. Not a major issue as it doesn't affect the use and they're not too noticeable but I like my brand new purchases to look pristine!*UPDATE*Having had the microwave for over 2 months now I can definitely say I would recommend this to anyone. Its powerful and heats up food brilliantly. Have tried all sorts and not had any problems.

I purchased this microwave to replace the only previous one I have owned that lasted around 24 years from Panasonic. It still worked although the door/latch had started to stick and did look very dated. I decided it was time for a new model.I did consider many machines and read many reviews but this one stood out as was relatively feature rich, the ideal size I was looking for, looked good and was a good price.I do have a couple of minor irritations which are mentioned in other reviews but did not deter my from purchasing although is the reason why I knocked one star off...1) The user manual included in the box is going some to be called a manual. It barely covers the basics and generally is of little use. Some of the buttons are not self explanatory and do need instructions on what they are and indeed how they are used. The poor manual is easily remedied by visiting the Samsung website and downloading the full version which in my opinion should have been included in the box. I agree that potentially most users will discard the manual at the bottom of a drawer never to be seen again once they have become familiar with the controls but still, not including this in the box is a poor service to the customer.2) Secondly... the blacked out door. While I appreciate that one of the selling points is the pleasing aesthetics, the door is blacked out and almost opaque to the extent that even in a darkened room and with the internal light shining whilst the machine is in operation it is only possible to make out a very vague outline of the contents. If cooking a liquid... soup, porridge etc. you would never be able to see if it was boiling over without opening the door. I believe the light is there purely to light up the inside when the door is opened so you can then see the contents... it offers little use whilst the machine is in operation.All that said... it fits in the space I needed it to, has good internal dimensions, looks good, works well and is a good price. I am generally happy with my purchase and based on my requirements I saw no other model out there that I felt was more suited than this one.

We bought this model microwave in 2013. Has served us very well in that time. A couple of weeks ago, something went wrong and when you closed the door, the power would start up. Could only stop it by unplugging. Probably a simple fault, but I don't have the knowledge to repair it. So looked for a replacement. After scouring reviews sites, including Which! magazine, this model popped up again. It's still a Which! Best Buy. At £100 it's a bargain. So we bought the same model again and am very happy that we did. We don't multi cook in it, we have an Ninja AirFryer for most cooking. But this is great at giving a couple of button presses - 30 seconds each, to warm up a cup of coffee or heat up some chilled indian. Which is all we need it for. It's still one of the cleanest best looking microwaves out there. Not too many confusing buttons or clutter. Yes, the glass is dark, but seriously if you're staring into the glass to watch your food cook - ask yourself why you are doing that! Simply no need.

Works great,easy to use and does what it’s meant to

Fantastic microwave. Heats well, is spacious, cannot find a fault.

a well made and good looking very good priced product, that does what it is meant to .

This is a good product for the money, replacing an old microwave we had for over 15 years. It is very spacious, sufficiently powerful for our needs and has some quite nice features, such as a deodorization function. However, the manual clearly states that different defrost settings can be used (e.g. for meat, fish, vegetables) but this is not true of this model. It only offers one manual setting. Initially I thought it was a fault, but online reviews reveal this not to be the case. As we used to use this feature a LOT on our old oven (a Goodmans), this is quite a big deal, hence only three stars. The other issue, which makes it harder to use, is the very dim interior light which is next to useless, unless you are running the oven at midnight with all the house lights off (which you may be!)
