Dissapointed

published

Bought this today, and used once, but sending it back. Cannot see a thing through the glass door while cooking in progress. The light is so dim and the glass is so dark that you are unable to see anything inside while heating is in progress. A bit of a safety issue that you cannot see if something is about to overheat or explode.

Love this appliance

published

I've had my Samsung microwave for 8 months now and I have no complaints, apart from the darkness of the front door panel which makes it difficult to see through but that's a minor irritant. I defrost food in it, cook and also reheat. So far, I haven't ruined anything! It's definitely a lot quieter than the last microwave I had so I'm very pleased.

Cant see food

published

The microwave functions fine, though the tint on the door is WAY too dark and you are not able to see the food as it is cooking. When the door is open the interior light is functional, though once the door is closed it is useless.
When heating up a jug of milk for custard etc, you really need to be able to see as it comes to the boil. With this microwave that is not possible. I feel that in an attempt to make this microwave look "funky" from they have completely sacrificed usability. Not sure why they put a window on this model at all.

Good classic sttyle microwave

published

Really solid traditional type of microwave from Samsung with a beautiful style to it. It does look nice but the main thing is it cooks VERY well indeed and never acts up. It has clear simple menus and a really nice touchpad too. Its nice when things "just work". Delivers the goods every time.

Very happy wth this

published

We upgraded from a crappy old Aldi microwave to this and didn't look back. Its a pleasure to use in comparison and looks good in the kitchen to boot. Menus are very intuitive and I find the cooking times pretty much spot on. I really like the smart defrost that doesn't cook the food while defrosting - very good. Its fast on full power too. Overall very happy, literally no complaints.

Love it!

published

Love this microwave, looks stunning! often find myself gazing at it like “what a stud muffin” very easy to clean, food wipes right off, heats consistently, quiet and looks and works like brand new after 4 and a half years.

Only negative I would say is how you can’t properly see the contents inside when cooking as the door is too dark, have had my cup of milk overflow many times trying to see inside but would miss it due to the the darkness.

Recently gave it to my Mum to replace her old one, purely out of personal opinion to not have a microwave in my house due to radiation.

Reliable microwave

published

Pro:
Good, reliable microwave. I've used it for reheating leftovers and defrosting easily.
Attractive button design which is easy to clean.

Cons:
Would prefer a quick start +30s button.
Limited visibility during use which means telling how cooked something is is difficult. e.g. melting chocolate.

Overall: would recommend, excepting those two bugbears above.

Simple Microwave

published

Our last microwave died after three years of use. We have a Samsung TV at home and it works perfectly. So, we buy this Samsung microwave. This is also a model recommended by the sales person. it does the job. No problem with reheating or defrosting. I would recommend it.

Does the job effortlessly

published

Having recently spent time living with a no-name microwave that never cooked anything correctly, returning to my Samsung ME6124 has reminded how fantastically it performs. It's always relatively quiet, very sturdy and well built, and has plenty of settings to scrutinize and make use of. The defrost ability works much better than previous microwaves I have owned, although the confusing amount of settings makes it a bit obscuring to get the most out of it.

Expected better.

Bought this microwave as it was good value for the large size I wanted. I'm happy with the power and how well it works. What I don't like is how loud it is when I am using & I also don't like how dark the light is - I can never see what is inside the microwave while I'm heating it!

Great at first

published

Purchased this Samsung microwave in Mar, it was great at first. Six months later it broke down already and yet to get it serviced under warranty. At first it worked fine but the turntable did not turn that I had found it strange but was not bothered. Then after a few months, had a weird noise and stopped working and was hot at the back.

Does the job.

Use this every day cooking, heating up and defrosting.
Quite a big microwave!
Have had mine a couple of years and haven't had any issues with it!
One draw back of this microwave would be the darkness of the, makes visibility poor. Makes keeping an eye on cooking a bit hard at times.

Mediocre at best

published

I am not satisfied. It does not cook my food. The settings are a pain and the manual was non existent. The microwave is pretty quiet though, probably because it doesn't do anything. Its well built and sturdy, probably because its filled with concrete and not much else. Do not buy.

Super easy to clean and large capacity

published

I bought this 34L in July 2013 and it's been working fine since then!! The downside is that this microwave can be a bit noisy for some people, it's large capacity and ceramic internal are the highlights! 1000W also means that it cooks a lot quicker than other microwaves. It has a 345mm turntable diameter, so you can heat full dinner plates of food.

Great product.

published

Happy with the cooking results if this microwave. It is easy to use and understand. The microwave is very quiet sometimes I have to look to check it is on. When the food is cooked it dings but will ding again if the door isn't opened when the cooking time is finished which means you can't forget there is food in the oven. Overall very happy.

Good range of options in time settings right down to 1 second intervals, cool down function after cooking time completes cycle, no mute option for selection and time pads as a bit loud, heats better than older model.
Good styling and modern appearance and turntable is stable when operating.

ME6124W (White)

might seem stupid but I cannot get my auto defrost to operate it comes up the time and kg but nothing happens when I press start

I followed the directions in the instruction manual (page 20) and it worked fine. On pressing "power defrost" the number I is auto selected which is for meat, two presses of "power defrost" you're on 2 for poultry, 3 presses for fish and 4 for bread/cake. I was defrosting 500 grams of mince so I pressed 5 for .5kg and when I pressed START it showed 9 minutes 9 seconds on the read out as it started up.

is Samsung Me6124w microwave is convection microwave? how to set temperature in it

1 answer
Samsung
Samsung AUSamsung

Hi Sumiyya, the ME6124W is not a convection microwave and so you would be unable to set its temperature. The microwave however, allows you to set up to two different stages of cooking, each with its own time length and power level. The Power Level button lets you control the heating intensity from Warm to High.
