I have a 15 Anthem with the Samsung I've used it quite a lot. I've never had a problem. I like it - both convection and microwave are fine.

Well they certainly have good reviews. ✍

We had to replace the Samsung convection microwave in our 2016 because the convection part quit heating. New one seems to be working great.

Ok Gene thanks. We discussed this last night and think we will give it a chance anyway.

The biggest issues we have with the Samsung has mostly to do with the design and convection cooking.

1) Everything has to be round 13" or square 11" to cook properly. Can't use a 13 X 9 cake pan or a standard cookie sheet for example, they won't turn. If they don't turn they won't cook evenly. We can use a 13" pizza pan for a cookie sheet but cannot find anything that size with higher sides.

2)The max temp is 425 and it never achieves it. It will pre-heat until it errors out. (E23 code)

3)The heating element is on the side in the Samsung and in the GE it is in the rear where it can heat more evenly. The window on ours has baked on grease on the left side because of the side heating.

4)The GE also has two full width racks, you don't have to play with turning the turn table off if you don't want your food to turn. The racks also give you food more support.

5) With the Samsung the maximum cook time is 60 minutes. If you are baking or roasting over that time you have to tend it constantly. On the GE you can set hours. (at least you used to)

This Samsung was replaced once with a newer model. Our regret is we should have went with the GE then and saved us some money. Oh well.

Robert, the GE Advantium also has broil, it will toast bread as well as a toaster. Yes you can still set hours. DW really likes the Advantium and it is her belief since you only have one cooking appliance it should be a good one, but like motor homes and floor plans everyone has their own idea. Noel

Noel, which model did you get?

Model psa9120sfss for 120 volt. There is also a 240 volt, but I doubt you want to rewire the Mh. Noel

DoggieDaddy · 01-07-2016, 04:21 PM

Thanks, that's the model I was looking at.

We have a 2016 Anthem with the Samsung oven. We have used the convection as well as the microwave with no problems. I have not verified the temp after heating, so I can't comment on that accurately, but the food seems to have cooked on time. It is not my favorite oven of all time, but as long as it works, I will continue to use it. That being said, I do have an Advantium (120v) at home and don't really like it. The main problem is that I am short (5'2"), and the oven door opens by pulling down, not side to side like the Samsung (and others). It is impossible for me to reach the back of the oven with the door open/down, and I have to stand on something or get someone to help me. The oven in the Anthem is at the same height as the one at home, so I would have the same problem if the Advantium were in the coach. Just a thought.

The Advantium convection oven for over the range for the Mh opens just like the Samsung, side to side. Noel

The GE (CSA1201) we have has the heating element on the side. CSA is the trim style (Cafe). PSA1201 Profile models will be the same.

DoggieDaddy · 01-08-2016, 10:01 AM

I stand corrected. Thanks. I must have looked at a different model's picture. Hard to remember the GE Profile we had in our S&B. Seems so long ago.

X2 on the Samsung...we also have a 2015 Anthem and the microwave as well as the convection oven work very well. My DW hasn't had any problems the Samsung!
