Samsung MS23T5018AG/EU review and specifications
23L, 800W, Slate Grey
Editorial review Reviewed 4 October 2026 How we assess products
The Samsung MS23T5018AG/EU is our solo choice for regular reheating, with useful soup and ready-meal results and straightforward controls. Its 23L cavity, 800W output and 28.8cm turntable give ordinary dinner plates more room than smaller budget models. Meat defrosting is useful, and the ceramic-enamel interior is convenient to wipe after spills. It still needs stirring, centre checks and standing time where directed. The control lock prevents setting changes rather than guaranteeing the door stays shut. Allow space for its 48.9 × 36.3 × 27.5cm body and ventilation gaps. The Panasonic costs less for everyday meals; Sage offers a soft-close door and mute button at a similar price.
