The Samsung ME6104ST1/XSA is a 28-litre solo microwave with a turntable, 1,000 W output and humidity-sensor cooking. It is not a grill or convection model. Samsung’s published specifications make it possible to assess its size and feature set, but the public CHOICE listing does not disclose the test scores needed to judge how well it cooks in independent testing.
What the ME6104ST1/XSA is—and what it is not
Samsung identifies the ME6104ST1/XSA as a freestanding, stainless-steel solo microwave. “Solo” means the listed model provides microwave cooking rather than grill or convection cooking. It has a rotating turntable and a stated 28 L capacity. These are manufacturer specifications, not independently verified measurements or performance results. Samsung’s New Zealand product page lists the XSA variant.

The regional suffix matters: the specification page is for the Australian/New Zealand market model ME6104ST1/XSA. Check the complete code on an appliance listing or rating label before relying on these details for another regional version.

What the sensor and auto-cook features do
Humidity sensor
Samsung says the humidity sensor detects moisture in the oven’s interior air to determine when cooking stages are complete. That describes the intended function, not a demonstrated guarantee against over- or under-cooking: the available public material does not provide independent results for sensor consistency across foods, portions, or containers.
Auto programs and defrost
The XSA specification lists nine auto-programmed recipes and Power Defrost. Those features offer preset operation, but the public sources do not detail every program’s menu or independently assess its results. The oven also has 11 power levels, a kitchen timer and 30-second Plus.
Rank #2
- Microwave output power 1000 watts, input power 1600 watts. External dimensions 20.6 x 14.6 x 11.8 inches (WxDxH); includes 12.4-inch glass turntable.
- Smart Sensor Technology for Optimal Cooking: Automatically adjusts cooking time and power based on food humidity, ensuring perfectly cooked meals every time. Say goodbye to overcooked or undercooked dishes.
- 6 Preset Menus: This countertop microwave features 6 preset menu options for popular foods like pizza, veggle, sensor reheat and more.
- 10 Unique Power Levels with clock and kitchen timer: Tailor your cooking power levels for greater culinary flexibility, making it an essential kitchen tool. Perfect for everything from deodorization to boiling liquids.
- Easy Defrost & One touch start: Defrost your frozen food by weight or by time. Quick access to start the microwave from 1 to 6 minutes cooking at full power.
Soften/Melt and ECO mode
Samsung lists Soften/Melt functions for foods that benefit from gentler heating, along with ECO mode. The published specification does not establish energy savings under particular use conditions, nor does it provide comparative test results for the modes.
Will it fit your counter and dishes?
Allow for the full external footprint of 517 mm wide, 297 mm high and 385 mm deep, and follow the clearances in the manual for the exact appliance. The cavity is listed as 357 × 255 × 357 mm, and the turntable is 318 mm across. Measure the dish’s base and widest point, not just its capacity: a dish can be narrower than the turntable yet still be too large to rotate freely.

CHOICE’s public listing rounds the exterior dimensions to 30 × 52 × 39 cm in height × width × depth order and gives a 30 cm turntable. Those rounded figures are consistent with Samsung’s more precise millimetre measurements; the different order and rounding do not indicate a demonstrated specification conflict. CHOICE’s ME6104ST1 listing also shows 1,000 W output and 11 power levels.
Cleaning, controls and safety features
The ceramic enamel interior is a listed surface feature, not evidence by itself of a particular durability, hygiene, or health benefit. Samsung also lists a child safety lock. The model has no turntable-off feature, so dishes that require a stationary cooking surface may not suit it.

The product page lists the functions, but the public information available here does not establish how intuitive the controls are in everyday use. Consult the manual for operating instructions and the required installation clearances. Samsung Australia’s support listing identifies a manual file dated December 23, 2019; the manual itself covers both ME6104W1 and ME6104ST1 and bears an August 18, 2014 imprint. Samsung notes that specifications and instructions may change, so use the manual appropriate to your market and appliance revision: Samsung ME6104ST1/XSA support and Samsung user manual.
What independent testing establishes
CHOICE has a public review listing for the exact model and labels it discontinued. The listing displays A$209, but that is page data rather than a current offer or confirmed market price. CHOICE’s Expert Rating and detailed results—including cooking performance, ease of use, vegetables, defrosting, reheating and melting—are member-only on the public page. The listing therefore does not support a performance verdict or recommendation. See CHOICE’s public listing.

Should you buy the Samsung ME6104ST1?
It may suit someone seeking a straightforward 28 L microwave with sensor and preset functions, provided the solo-only design, turntable and measured footprint fit their needs. The available public evidence is not enough to establish cooking quality, sensor reliability, ease of use, current stock, or a fair current price. Since CHOICE marks the model discontinued, verify that a seller has the exact ME6104ST1/XSA, check the appliance’s condition and warranty, and compare its price with currently available models before deciding. Do not treat another ME6104 variant or capacity as interchangeable without confirming its specifications.
