Samsung - 30 in. Wide 5 Elements 6.3 cu. ft. Smart Freestanding Electric Range with Flex Duo, No-Preheat Air Fry & Griddle - Black Stainless Steel

We've been using this range for several months now and it has performed flawlessly. The cooktop is a standard glass style that's very easy to use and manage. The best part is the divided oven and the ability to cook two things at once with a single oven, instead of having to have a larger double oven. The top one is my most used as it fits most quick dinners perfectly, especially pizza. It heats up quickly and cooks food way faster and better than any of our previous ovens. It can air fry and the convection bake also can take a little 20 minute meal down to 10-12, and do a better job at the same time, which makes dinner prep go much quicker. Aside from the practical features it has, there's also the fact that it's a sharp looking piece of equipment. I'd definitely recommend it, especially if you've already got other Samsung appliances. The fact that you can remotely turn everything off and know the state of everything and get alerts when it's done preheating on the phone also. All in all I'd absolutley by it again if given the chance to go back and decide again, so take it for what it's worth.

We’ve had this double range for 3 weeks now. Our first purchase of this range let to a return/exchange after installation we found that the range was unable to select between top oven and bottom do to a failed limit switch which is inside the oven for the divider. Without that limit working the oven can not distinguish sections of the oven. So onto the replacement and operation. After the replacement we were able to put the range to the test and it is definitely a solid performer for baking, convection, air fry and stove top cooking. It has baked evenly and the burners heat very well and are very good at cycling to maintain a low heat to high heat. Definitely a huge improvement from our previous Samsung Range that was replaced. Cleaning inside is not bad we had to wipe the oven out once do to an air fry session we forgot to place a catch pan under the screen and had a small mess of oil that cooked out. A little vinegar and baking soda and it wiped out well. Prior to use remember to place the range on 400 degrees for a 1/2 hr is the suggestion we did ours at 400 for 1/2 hr then 450 for another 1/2 hour and it seasoned the inside well. NOTE Make sure you can ventilate when you do this it will absolutely smell and smoke your home up. We put a fan exhausting out our kitchen window and placed a comforter to block the kitchen doorway into our living room and it kept the smell down. But you definitely need to condition the oven before use or you will have a nasty taste to any food that you cook in the oven prior to use. Once it’s done it is great. Final thoughts on the range. It baked holiday food great, cookies were evenly baked and pies. Our roast was done nicely as well as the ham and turkey. For the glass top operation does the job well and as said before the temperature control of the burners has definitely improved from our last Samsung. The Smart things app works great and love the control and notifications to the phones when cooking. WiFi set up was easy peezy as well. Best Buy comments they absolutely stood by their replacement of the product after we even contacted Samsung to virtual trouble shoot to just make sure we weren’t missing something prior to the exchange, which we knew we weren’t but just to make sure it wasn’t a easy fix. However when your range doesn’t work right out of the box I don’t believe you should need a service call within the first day of owning a new appliance. Extra topics: the soft close on the oven doors work great, treat your glass top with conditioner and protection prior to use as well. The stuff works, our older stove top looked like new and we actually were able to sell our replaced stove because of the condition it was in. The controls take a few minutes to explore but once you go through them it’s no problem to operate the features. If you’re looking to protect the glass top they make some great products that will protect your top when the stove is not in use as well. This Samsung Range is recommended from a family that likes to cook. Hope you found some of the information useful in our review and happy cooking!

We have been using the stove now for 2 weeks. So far pleased. Used the duo flex. To bake 2 different pans of brownies. Time -temp - cooked to perfection.. The cook top is beautiful and delicate…No matter what you will end up with a scracth or too. My 1st attempt was with large t-fal fry pan. I figuered i would try it and make sure i did not let the pan rock or move…..i thought i did pretty good. But after…clean up and examination….SURE enough 2 scrapes on the line…DEEP scratches…….Tossed pan out to make sure no other family member starts cooking with it. ****been using the stainless steel Emeril pans and have not had any issues to date…..try you best not move the pan while on the stove….Always “lift” if u need to maneuver….Ir is hard to remember especially if u got multiple things going on in the kitchen and trying to get the family fed. ******* I will advise any owner to buy a bottle of Cerama Bryte **** We coated it prior to use and have be keeping up with applying it……BElieve it or not after a few more applications after THE HUGE ERROR i made with that fry pan……IS GONEEEEE. Looks like brand neeeeeeeeeew……..just be diligent and keep up with coating and cleaning your top after uses…….thats the key. When you pull your baking sheet out of the oven. DO not slid it onthe cookstop…but have a towel or special mat to sit it on..sliding will scratch. AIR fryer works good…..french fries crispy. Chicken skin crispy….def can get more quanity cooked at once…rather than the counter top ones. *** do not cook sausage links in airfryer mode **** the grease is very messy…tasted great but nasty mess after. Have not used griddle yet……. Came with a quality air fry basket. *****the only disapointment is you have to use the entire oven “in air fry mode”. Was hoping that only the top was needed to do quick airfrt…*** no directions came…just 101 stuff. You have to download a 260 manual at the samsung site…no biggie then you can save it to your device for quick look up ….happy cooking!……..i did take 5year warranty.everything breaks these days reguardless of brand. Taking no chances. FYI- having just one handle with push button to open tops. Is an awesome feature…

I was in the market for a unit that has 2 ovens when I saw this unit at my local Best Buy. I read the reviews regarding the ease of scratches on the glass. I thought after all these reviews, they must have improved it. WRONG, first time I used it, I have scratches and it is barely 5 weeks in my home. I am debating whether to keep it or exchange it. Aside from the scratches, it is a really nice oven, it heats quick and bakes evenly and the air fryer is a nice feature. If the scratches do not bother you, it is a really good freestanding range.

Look great and it is easy to use. The dual oven saves a lot of time.
