Our take
Samsung's sheet identifies MS11K3000AS as a 1.1-cu.-ft. countertop microwave with 1,000-W output, Sensor Cook, ten power levels and Silver Sand finish. It lists 1,600-W / 14.5-A consumption separately and specifies 120 V / 60 Hz. The ceramic-enamel interior and dial controls are documented, but the sheet does not state a turntable diameter or optional trim-kit compatibility. The old ASIN did not confirm an exact offer, so the link searches the full model code.
Choose Samsung MS11K3000AS for documented sensor cooking, 1,000-W output and Silver Sand in a 1.1-cu.-ft. cavity. Compared with Kenmore 73779's 0.9-cu.-ft./900-W profile, Samsung adds nominal space and sensor support; choose Kenmore if its documented 10.63-in. tray and black finish matter more..
Look elsewhere if you need a larger stated cavity, a known turntable diameter, documented built-in trim compatibility, or a verified direct Amazon ASIN. Check cookware fit rather than relying only on nominal capacity.
Pros & cons
What could work for you, and what to consider before buying.
What works in its favor
- The exact sheet states 1.1 cu. ft., 1,000-W output, 120 V / 60 Hz, and separate 1,600-W / 14.5-A consumption.
- Sensor Cook and a dial that adjusts time before or during cooking are documented.
- Samsung names the Silver Sand finish, ceramic-enamel interior, ten power levels, and turntable.
What to weigh up
- The source does not give the turntable's diameter or a matching trim-kit route.
- The 1.1-cu.-ft. cavity is smaller by nominal capacity than the 1.5- and 1.6-cu.-ft. alternatives in this batch.
- The historical ASIN page did not verify this model; compare the exact code on a search result.

What the features mean for you
A modest cavity with a published exterior size
Samsung lists 1.1 cubic feet and gives outside dimensions of 20⅜ inches wide, 11⅝ inches high and 16⅞ inches deep. That is useful for a counter check and for sorting this model against larger cavities, but cubic feet do not tell you whether a particular rectangular dish will clear the walls or turn. The specification sheet gives cavity dimensions of 14⅛ by 10 by 14⅛ inches. Compare those measurements and the rotating tray arrangement with the dishes you use instead of assuming the capacity figure guarantees a fit.
Keep output separate from electrical consumption
The sheet lists 1,000 watts as power output and 1,600 watts / 14.5 amps as power consumption, with a 120-volt, 60-hertz source. These ratings answer different questions: output is the microwave cooking figure, while consumption and current matter when planning the electrical connection. Use the exact appliance rating and instructions when checking the circuit. The confirmed voltage and frequency make the model eligible for the standard U.S. supply filter, but they do not establish that any outlet or extension cord is suitable for the installation.
Sensor cooking changes the control choice
Samsung lists Sensor Cook and explains that it senses vapor level and temperature to adjust cooking time. The sheet also describes dial control, cooking presets, and ten power levels. A dial can be turned to change cooking time before or during a cycle, while the sensor feature offers an automatic path for supported foods. These are documented control choices, not a promise that every dish will finish exactly as intended. If you prefer to set time and power yourself, the ten levels remain available; if sensor operation is essential, the exact model sheet supports that filter.
The ceramic-enamel interior is a maintenance detail
Samsung describes a ceramic-enamel interior as scratch resistant and easy to clean. That may matter when selecting a surface for routine wipe-downs, but it is a manufacturer description rather than a durability test. The source gives a porcelain-like coating and says the color is Silver Sand; it also cautions that actual color may vary. Keep the interior finish separate from the exterior finish in the listing. This exact model is named MS11K3000AS, and similar Samsung capacities or cooking controls do not prove that a different suffix has the same interior or color.
Countertop use is clear; built-in compatibility is not
Samsung describes the appliance as a countertop microwave and gives a full outside size, so a counter placement can be checked against the 20⅜-inch width and 16⅞-inch depth. The reviewed sheet does not list an approved cabinet trim kit or built-in opening. Do not infer that a cabinet installation is permitted because the body fits an opening. The turntable is documented, but its diameter is not, so check the actual plate size against the exact manual or unit before ordering. This keeps both trim-kit and tray-size fields open where the exact sheet is silent.
Use the full code in an Amazon search
The historical B01D5UC036 page failed to load in the saved exact-model check. The tagged destination therefore searches for Samsung MS11K3000AS Silver Sand countertop microwave rather than using that ASIN as a direct link. Confirm the full code, finish, included turntable, and condition on the offer you consider. The data here makes no claim about current price, seller inventory, sales rank, or buyer-review experience. It also does not classify the unit for foodservice use; a commercial-duty requirement should be matched to a model whose maker explicitly documents that class.
What else to compare
For a larger cavity or measured tray diameter, compare models whose exact specification sheet lists those dimensions. For a commercial kitchen, require explicit maker documentation of commercial duty.
Before you buy
How much capacity does MS11K3000AS have?
Samsung lists 1.1 cu. ft. and provides cavity and outside dimensions for a separate fit check.
Is the cooking rating 1,000 W or 1,600 W?
The sheet lists 1,000 W output and 1,600 W / 14.5 A power consumption; they are separate ratings.
Does it have sensor cooking?
Yes. Samsung documents Sensor Cook and says it adjusts time based on sensed vapor and temperature.
What finish is listed?
Samsung names Silver Sand; the sheet cautions that actual color may vary.

The decision
MS11K3000AS is a 1.1-cu.-ft. Silver Sand countertop model with sensor cooking, 1,000-W output, dial control, ten power levels and a ceramic-enamel interior. Samsung's sheet confirms 120 V / 60 Hz and separates output from 1,600-W / 14.5-A consumption. Tray diameter, trim-kit fit and the historical ASIN mapping remain unconfirmed.
