Built-in Samsung microwave ovens, reviews of which will be discussed a little later, are popular. The reason for the increased demand is the compact size and ease of installation. Considering that a large number of appliances must be placed in the kitchen, finding a place becomes an urgent problem. And then models that can be built into furniture come to the rescue. Within the framework of this article, microwave ovens from a Korean manufacturer will be considered, which have optimal dimensions and characteristics according to users.
Built-in microwave ovens - what is it?
Models of microwave ovens differ in the type of construction. Available freestanding and built-in. The latter do not have the usual legs and sides. Their faces of the front panel protrude significantly beyond the linescorps. This shape is needed in order to harmoniously fit the device into the kitchen cabinet and hide the joints.
Built-in Samsung microwave ovens do not differ in terms of equipment from free-standing models. With the help of such a device, you can not only defrost and heat food, but also fry (grill option), bake (convection mode). There are also devices that are called solo. That is, the user can only use the microwave. Read more about them below.
Types of built-in microwaves
Samsung built-in microwave ovens can be divided into three groups. The difference between them lies in the functionality.
- The cheapest models, they are also the simplest, have a minimum set of options. They are called solo. Such devices are used only for heating dishes, preparing hot sandwiches and defrosting semi-finished products, meat, minced meat and other products. You should not expect high performance from this option. Most often, these models are used in offices and in families with schoolchildren. The process of heating the dish is started with a single button. The time spent is minimal. The security level is high.
- The second group includes built-in microwave ovens with a grill. Their cost is slightly more expensive than the above option. This is explained by the presence of an additional function. Such devices are capable of operating in two modes: microwave and grill. The heating element is located both in the upper part of the chamber and on the back wall. There are models in which the design of the heater is movable. ATRecently, the company has been using a quartz tubular grill more often. Its characteristics are much higher than those of the usual. Benefits include cost-effectiveness, power, even heating, soft heat radiation that does not dry out food.
- And the last group combines devices equipped with convection mode. This option simulates the operation of an oven. The cost of them is the highest.
Accommodation
Samsung built-in microwave ovens differ in chamber volume and external dimensions. Their main advantage is that there is no need to take up space on the work surface. For this, special kitchen cabinets are used with empty space inside, without a door and a back wall. The absence of the latter is explained simply - the provision of ventilation. Compact models can be placed in a single column. Most often, it combines an oven, washing machine and other appliances. The approach to height is also individual. The standard is considered to be at the level of the chest of a person with an average height. Judging by the reviews, this location is the most convenient. However, in families with children, different standards apply. In order for the small owner to be able to use the appliance independently, it is better to install it lower, for example, at the level of the work surface.
Choice of dimensions
In their reviews, buyers often raise the question of the optimal dimensions of the device. EmbeddedSamsung microwave ovens are presented in a wide range, so choosing the right size should not be a problem. What should you pay attention to when choosing? If the device is built into a cabinet with other equipment, then its width is a determining factor. This indicator should be the same for all devices. But the depth is not important. As a rule, the column is formed by the largest appliance, for example, washing machine, dishwasher, freezer.
The range includes models with the following dimensions:
- width - from 40 to 60 cm;
- depth - from 30 to 50 cm;
- height - from 30 to 45 cm.

All owners of such devices claim that the camera is easy to clean, the surface is not scratched and has a long service life.
On sale there are devices with coating and resistant enamel. This option is used in inexpensive microwave ovens. In the reviews, the owners say that although the camera is easy to clean, the probability of damaging the top layer is high. Also, the paint may blister or peel off over time.
Eatmodels in which the chamber is made of stainless steel.

Drops of grease and other dirt are difficult to wash off, and if you overdo it, it's easy to leave scratches.
Control panel
Modern microwave ovens are designed in such a way that the control is carried out by means of touch or mechanical buttons. It happens that the manufacturer uses levers in inexpensive solo models. According to this criterion, the entire product range can be divided into three groups.
