Review of Samsung's SMH7185STG Microwave Oven (price, problem, comparison)

[reviewer]

I bought a Samsung SMH7185STG Microwave Oven about 18 months back for myself. It is a nice, stylish and convenient model. It has been a very efficient and easy to use product so far. Its smart one-touch cooking sensor makes it one of the most desirable products in this category of home appliances. This stainless steel beauty has been always been very efficient if you exclude the handle. There was a problem with the handle earlier, but it was replaced within the warranty period.
The Samsung SMH718STG microwave is priced at $279.99, an affordable yet sleek and stylish product. The price along with its features was the determining factor for buying this product after a quick comparison with other brands.

The smart cooking sensor has made my life a breeze. Now I don't overcook the food and neither does the food remain undercooked. Basically I find that all the food gets cooked just right and its hassle free as most of the cooking specifications are provided in the user manual. I don't have to bother about the quantity or weight of the food or the power levels. The various sensor cooking options are potatoes, popcorn, reheats, beverages, frozen dinners, fresh vegetables, frozen vegetables, frozen breakfast and chicken breast.

This Samsung product comes with 400 CFM vent fan. This makes it spacious and sound free. In fact, this fan is one of the most powerful and quietest in the market of microwave ovens. It has hidden auto louvers that keep the steam and odor at bay. It helps to conceal the ventilation grilles as well. The one-touch sensor makes the cooking as well as reheating much faster than other microwave oven brands with similar specifications.

This model has a large 1.8 cubic feet oven capacity. For a family of four I thought this was way beyond the required capacity. But considering the other features when I actually brought it home, I realized that the bigger the oven the better it is. You never know when you would need to put the entire 1.8 cubic feet to use. The spacious interiors can help whip up a full meal in one go. The Samsung SMH718STG delivers a 1,100W cooking power with 10 power levels. It has a very convenient and easy to use three stage programmable cooking feature. Some of its other useful features are auto defrost, 1,650 power consumption and the regular turntable and stirrer.

Its special auto cook with kid's meal and snack bar features has made the kids a very happy bunch. My overall experience of this useful and affordable product has been very satisfying.
