Best Buy 1-star review by Allen (title: "Defective Microwave, Terrible Service"). Defective from first use: unit routinely turns on when you simply close the door. Warranty service required removing installed unit and was hard to schedule.

Retailer reviewIndexed Aug 20, 2026Source-linkedVerify source — Best Buy review

Best Buy 1-star review by Lizz (title: "Extremely unsafe and poor support!"). Within weeks the over-the-range microwave tripped GFCI, keypad went unresponsive, and sometimes kept running after 00:00. Intermittent faults frustrated three Samsung tech visits; home wiring checked OK by electrician.
