Samsung microwave works great, but cheaply made.

Samsung SMH7185STG —

The Samsung over-the-range microwave oven works great for all your daily needs such as reheating food and cooking frozen vegetables. The Samsung microwave also has many functional options, such as a popcorn and baked potato keypad. However, the durability of the Samsung construction is where this microwave desparately falls short. We purchased this microwave just over one year ago and recently the handle broke off. You may think, "What!" There was no rough use of the microwave. I just simply tried to open the microwave one day and the handle completely broke off into my hand. Upon further inspection I identified the main problem. The handle was attached only by plastic pieces. Obviously any product that has to endure constant tugging in order to use it should be supported by metal, not plastic. We have yet to replace the handle, since Samsung's website only carries one of a different finish color. So, we are forced to open the microwave by inching our fingers underneath where the door and oven meet and then tugging with all of our might. Needless to say, not to friendly on the fingertips and nails. In all, due to the poor construction, I would not recommend purchase of this product!
