Samsung MS20A3010AL solo microwave - 20L

The Samsung MS20A3010AL solo microwave reheats, defrosts and cooks in a 20 litre cavity, with 700 watts spread across 5 power levels. Its compact footprint sits on a worktop without taking it over, measuring 44 cm wide, 25,9 cm high and 33,75 cm deep. The black finish suits a fitted kitchen as readily as a studio flat or an office kitchenette.

Operation is deliberately simple: two mechanical dials are all it takes to set the power and start the timer, which runs up to 35 minutes. There is no menu to navigate and no display to decipher, which makes the appliance immediately usable by everyone in the household. The 25,5 cm turntable spreads heat evenly and takes a standard dinner plate.

The cavity has an epoxy lining, a smooth surface that wipes clean and stands up to everyday splashes. The side-opening door clears access without blocking the way, which helps when the appliance sits in a corner of the worktop. Samsung states that spare parts remain available for 10 years, a figure worth checking on an appliance meant to last. The 3,80 € WEEE eco-contribution is included in the displayed price.
