Samsung MS23F301EAS Solo Micro-Wave Oven with Ceramic Enamel, 23 L [Energy Class A]

Very classy microwave with extremely simple controls. The top knob controls the time, the bottom knob controls the power level, nothing more required. Both controls are large, digitally precise, and have excellent tactile feedback.The microwave cooks as well as can be expected, with no noticeable cold spots and with the full rated power, unlike cheaper models. The thin ceramic lining inside the cooking chamber is an interesting metallic flecked grey, and is reasonably easy to clean.It has a defrost function that I almost wish they hadn't bothered with, as it detracts from the minimalism, but will be useful for some. The window is also quite dark to look through.

A microwave with very simple controls. Top dial does the time, bottom dial adjusts the power. That's it. No complicated list of electronic options, sub-menu's and programmes to try and work through to make it work. This was my biggest reason for picking this oven over others.Food cooks pretty well and even. There is an internal light but the glass can still be quite dark to see through although if you really need to check on how something is cooking just open the door. There is the usual glass dish and the plastic wheel ring inside to assist the turning action. Easy to clean without any awkward spaces. Has a bright blue clock on the front that is the display when not in use. Clock can be set to 12 / 24 hour time. Goes up to 800W - there are a few meals that give times for an 850W oven rather than an 800 but you just need to account for setting the time to cook for slightly longer if you purchase those.

The good: stylish compact design, simple intuitive controls without unnecessary gizmos making it useable without needing to refer to the instruction manual. The bad: black interior and dim light makes it difficult to watch cooking through the door window.

We wanted a microwave mainly to re-heat leftovers, and no fancy settings. This one fits the bill - it looks good on our black granite countertops and is easy to use. Just turn the bottom knob to the desired wattage, and the top knob to the desired heating time - the unit then starts in the next few seconds. The clock was also easy to set. Although the glass on the front door is dark, it is not opaque. The glass tray is easy to remove, clean and place back into the unit. Really like the simplicity of this kitchen appliance.

The Micro-wave Oven is intuitively easy to use, I found that I could set the heating function and the time required without even having first to look at the instructions. And it is smart looking with a distinctive handle. Yet I have decided to give it only a 3-star, for the sole reason that the front glass is so dark that you cannot see what is inside, which means what you are heating could be boiling before you realize it. What a shame! I would have awarded it a 5-star otherwise.

After reading many reviews on Amazon on elsewhere finally settled Samsung Solo Microwave 23 litre.I had wanted the 20 litre as was really looking for a more compact size but couldn't get one anywhere.However really delighted with this model, which does not look as big as I thought.It is sturdy ,well made simple to operate and the interior looks easy to clean and with a good (ceramic) coating. Previously I have had Sharp,panasonic and Russell Hobbs microwaves and all had really poor internal coating which bubbled, peeled and rusted.I bought the samsung because of claims about the ceramic coating but only time will tell and I will update the review if things change.Arrived next day with Prime......bonus!

Excellent product,very good price !!

Great microwave, just 2 basic controls, but does everything we need to, nice compact size but can still fit a 27 cm dinner plate inside. Very quiet in use, 4 loud beeps at the end and quieter reminder beeps if food is left inside after cooking.Inside is ceramic so really easy to keep clean, with no rusting or peeling.My only negative is, the box it comes in, shows a completely different microwave, but the one I ordered is packaged within.
