Samsung Black Friday Savings Event Rebate

Offer Expires: 11/6/2024 to 12/4/2024 Must be postmarked by: 1/4/2025

Receive up to a $1000 rebate with purchase of 2 or more qualifying Samsung Appliances. Rebate form must be postmarked by 1/4/2025.

Professional delivery and installation is available for every product we sell. We would be happy to coordinate delivery and installation for you.

Extended warranties are usually very inexpensive and can save you thousands in the future. Some can even cover extra costs that result, such as cost of food that spoils when your fridge dies. It's simple and inexpensive to purchase extended warranties and one of the smartest ways to protect your investment.

Appliances can be large, heavy and expensive. You probably don't have the special tools or expertise needed to fix them in a crisis. If you can spare a few thousand dollars without batting an eyelash for new appliances should they break tomorrow, don't buy a warranty. But if you're like most of us, protect yourself by purchasing inexpensive extended warranties when you buy a new product and save yourself big money in the long run.

Beautifully efficient!

Cuddles1079 2/8/2022

I love my Samsung products and this microwave just added to my confidence in the brand. This is one more beautiful appliance that works oh so well. It's so convenient having the autocook buttons to just push and go. All the guesswork gone! Perfectly reheated pizza is the greatestvthing ever! I was in heaven with hot bubbly cheese and the crust didn't turn to rubber. Oh it was great. Soup heated all throughout and not just boiled but actually heated. The light and exhaust fans work great over the stove. The light provides ample light to see in the trickiest situations. The fan is strong enough to pull out lots of smoke and steam. The timer function is great and easy to use. The microwave itself is all touch and it's not so sensitive that you'll make a mistake and stop or start something unintentionally which is a big plus for me. Overall this was a great purchase!

Fast cooking nice looking

Gregreid 2/4/2022

I like the look of the smooth buttons a d the blue clock lighting. I also like the light underneath to highlight my stovetop cooking! The quick buttons are great to just click one button and then it starts for desired type of food. Overall I am very satisfied and highly recommended! I also like the option of being able to switch the vent for outside exhaust or inside! The cooking capacity is awesome! Let's ypu pur larger items inside to cook a family meal faster. I have not used the convention feature or voice feature yet, I look forward to using them soon.

Love it!

Jsnkc28 1/13/2022

We were in the process of replacing all of our old white appliances with new stainless-steel ones. We came across the Samsung line of products and have slowly been upgrading our kitchen. We have had an oven for a while and were excited to give this microwave a try. When we took it out of the box it came with everything, we could possibly need for any kid of installation. The instructions were very clear and concise, and it was very easy for me and a friend to install this microwave in under 30 minutes. Once installed we loved how the microwave looked in our kitchen. It has a very sleek look and doesn't show a lot of fingerprints which we also like! We found it to work very well. It heats food very quickly compared to our old one and the defrost and other functions work perfectly as well. The only thing we didn't like about it is that if the microwave is heating something, the kitchen timer function won't work till the microwave cycle is over. Kind of annoying, since we use that feature a lot. But we just switched to using the timer on the oven instead. Other than that, we have no complaints and love our new microwave! If you're looking for a budget friendly, good-looking microwave that just works. This is definitely worth checking out!

Modern Microwave Upgrade

Jferryall 1/9/2022

our microwave was original to the house (2003) and still cooking. however, i knew it was on borrowed time, so was happy to get an opportunity to upgrade early. i do love how modern it makes the kitchen look compared to our old microwave. it does seem like it has a higher-powered heating element as food does take less time to cook. the only cons i would say are: -no one-touch option to start cooking (requires time-entry then start). -the samsung logo was installed crookedly at the factory and throws me off every time i look at it.

Great, Inexpensive Microwave

Mike 12/27/2021

overall, this is a great microwave, especially for the price! it has almost all the features you need without paying for what you don't. it replaced a much more expensive microwave that we will not miss. this samsung outperforms it in power and simplicity of use. it only loses a star because of some minor fit and finish issues and lack of one-touch cooking options. pros; * powerful * sunk in plate for additional height * no need to set time on the clock * easy installation! identical wall plate and top bolt locations as our old, same sized microwave. * top is great for magnetic things to be stored. i keep two cooking thermometers on mine. cons; * fit and finish * no one-touch cook option neutral; * eco button is nice, but it needs to be pressed after every use.

Sleek awesome microwave

amber179 12/23/2021

The things I like about this microwave is the exhaust vent speeds and the quietness of the blower! The cool blue clock and digital display is easy on the eyes in the middle of the night. The light that shines below the microwave is nice that it has options of the brightness. I like the options of the quick settings options like defrost and popcorn. I chose the color white because my other appliances are white, this microwave matches exactly to the crisp white color of the other samsung kitchen appliances! Arrived well protected!
