Check out reviews of Samsung kitchen appliances to make good purchasing decisions

Make sure you're getting a reliable Samsung home appliance by reading up on consumer complaints or reviews; they'll let you know which problem areas to watch out for with specific appliances, and which products are the best bet.

I recommend: Consumeraffairs.com posts consumer complaints about Samsung appliances such as refrigerators and washers. Epinions.com lets you read consumer reviews of specific Samsung microwave models. The site also provides reviewers' ratings of items based on factors like durability and ease of use, both of which are crucial in determining which Samsung microwave will hold up in your company's break room.

Buy Samsung appliances that fit your floor plan

You can cram a surprising amount of equipment into a small break room if you use appropriately petite appliances like under-cabinet mounting microwaves from Samsung (to save on counter space) and small refrigerators. Measure the break room and then compare the appliance dimensions listed on the sales slip or website before you buy to make sure you're getting the best fit possible.

I recommend: Samsung USA details its entire line of products; review product specs before making a small appliance purchase. Best Buy offers a full line of one of Samsung's best space-saving options, the under range microwave. Mounting this beauty beneath cabinets will free up much-needed counterspace.

Go green with an energy efficient Samsung Electronics home appliance

According to the Energy Star website, using an Energy Star certified dishwasher can save you up to $90 in hot water heating over the life of the appliance, and up to $30 a year on other utilities costs. Energy Star certified refrigerators save from 20 to 40% or more on energy costs over conventional models, and freezer models save 10% or more on energy costs. As energy costs continue to rise these margins of savings will, too.

I recommend: Take Care of Texas recommends shopping for energy-efficient break room appliances like Energy Star certified Samsung dishwashers, available from Samsung appliance dealers like AMRoyal.
