Which has the bigger oven?

The Samsung's lower oven is 5.1 cu. ft. versus 4.8 cu. ft. on the Thor. Both microwaves are 1.9 cu. ft.

Which is better for air frying?

The Thor. It has a built-in air fry basket and true convection, while the Samsung lists a microwave grill element but no air fry mode.

Do they need different wiring?

Yes. The Thor requires a 40A dedicated circuit; the Samsung runs on 30A. Check your breaker before buying, since the Thor may need new wiring.

Is the Samsung worth the extra?

At $2,129.00 at Plesser's Appliances as of November 4, 2026, it buys a larger oven and Wi-Fi. Compare it to the Thor's current store prices, since no Thor price was given here.

Which is easier to install?

The Samsung's cutout is slightly shallower (23 1/2 in. vs 24 in.) and it needs less amperage. Thor owners report installation trouble with screws near the backsplash.

Which has better owner feedback?

The Thor rates 4.8 from 401 ratings; the Samsung rates 4.0 from 40. The Thor's sample is much larger, so its score is more reliable.
