Our Verdict

Samsung ME17R7021ES

Samsung Bespoke ME90H1780R

The Samsung ME17R7021ES and the Samsung Bespoke ME90H1780R are both quiet, over-the-range models with plenty of internal capacity for large dishes, but they have different benefits to offer. Go for the ME17R7021ES if you're looking for a simple microwave without many extra features. It’s more powerful, so it cooks food a bit faster, and it's less expensive. Choose the Bespoke ME90H1780R if you want a connected, multitasking microwave. Beyond microwaving, it can air fry, convection cook, and steam, though we haven't tested these functions. This model also syncs to ranges equipped with Samsung's smart home ecosystem, SmartThings, so the hood fan and lights turn on automatically when you use your range.
