Love everything about this unit. It looks awesome. The induction cooktop works superbly. It heats up quickly and evenly with immediate temperature control. I does not create burnt messes so it is easy to clean and keep clean. The oven is bright and cooks evenly so dishes do not have to be rotated. Perhaps a little slow on the warm up, but maybe it just seems slow in comparison to cooktop. I have not used it in dual mode yet. The warming tray works excellently as well. The manual states that it is for keeping already cooked or heated item warm. However, I placed a foil wrapped loaf of sourdough bread in the tray, turned it on, and in 20 minutes is was warm all the way through. My only issue is that I do not use it enough.

This is the best oven I've ever owned. The induction cooktop boils water is under 2 minutes. It's amazing! And the double ovens are terrific. Be careful though. The convection oven cooks really fast. It will burn if you aren't paying attention.

The induction cooktop works great. I love cooking on gas, but it's not available in our condo. The induction stove works just as good, if not better than gas. I'm thrilled.

I've had this range for about a month now. I knew going into this I would have to get new pots and pans since my previous set was not magnetic. In short this range is everything I expected and more. The range is very responsive and seems to bring water to a boil much quicker than the previous range. It is extremely easy to keep clean. The touch screen is not confusing and is very intuitive. The split oven with option to convert to one large one has made for some efficient baking. I haven't had to use the warming drawer yet but that feature is just icing on the cake. Finally, just from a looks standpoint, it is definitely an eye catcher but you can tell that without me telling you. Would definitely make the purchase again given the choice.

fantastic performing range. Induction is super cool, wicked fast heating. Cool blue lights around the burners to let you know which are heating. Preheating the oven to 350 was about half as long as my old range. Dual oven should be convenient. Warming drawer too. Very well made, and great looks too.

This is the best stove I have ever owned. I love that the oven can be used as one big oven or can be used as a double oven. I also love the induction cook top. Things cook so much faster and evenly than it did on my gas stove. It is also easy to clean (unlike my last stove). I would definitely recommend this stove.

Superb range in need of some minor improvements

I researched this product for several months and have owned it for about two months. Induction appealed to me most because of its similarity to gas (some people claim induction is superior) since I love to cook and had a basic and ineffective electric range in my small condo kitchen. So far I have used the induction cook top and the oven almost daily with great success. I have made amazing traditional breads in clay cloches, roast meats, perfectly seared duck breast, vegetable gratins. This range cooks like a dream- I feel like I am cooking on gas again. I love the power boost feature to heat water for coffee, as I use a french press each morning. It heats water in half the time it used to take, which is especially welcome on groggy mornings. The triple oven racks and the heavy duty rack are wonderful. I have had flimsy racks in other ovens fall, spilling an entire meal all over the oven floor. No threat of that happening with this well-built oven. The controls are easy to use. You do have to turn the oven light on each time you open the door- my guess is that this is an energy saving feature.
A few critiques: I really wished this range had come in white at first, and had considered a Viking induction, but that was far too expensive. In the end I choose to mix this stainless oven with my smooth white appliances, which also have stainless accents, and I think it works nicely. I probably would have gotten white, however, given the choice. I like the low profile, which highlights my white marble back splash.
I find the placement of the induction cook areas somewhat awkward. Part of this is due to the fact that the controls are in the front, which pushes them back a few inches- a sacrifice for style. I wish the large circle was on the left- in my kitchen the right side of the oven is against a wall- and that the two medium circles were farther apart. Cooking multiple dishes at the same time is a bit awkward. If Samsung fixed this design issue they would have an A+ product. I'd give it an A- as it is designed currently.
Overall, I am extremely pleased with the product and am glad that I decided to splurge on this appliance.

Amazing Range - Induction for the win

This oven is absolutely amazing.
The induction burners quickly bring up the temperature of the cookware while leaving the area around the cookware cool. It shaves enough time off preparing meals that we're enjoying cooking again.
Being able to selectively size the oven is a great feature. We've been baking cookies from our kid's school's fund raiser using just the top oven. It gets up to temperature much faster than the oven we replaced and the convection provides better all around cooking.

The induction range does have a bit of a learning curve because everything cooks faster. However, once you become accustomed to it, you will love how easy it is to control the cooking temperature and how quickly things cook. The units are still a bit warm once the pan is removed, but it's because the pan was warm, not the unit and it cools quickly. The convection oven reduces cookie baking time and the roasting feature is terrific.

I love my new stove. I cook every day and bake several times a week so I've really had a chance to form some opinions.
The cooktop is easy to use and cleans up easily. The power boost quickly boils water. Because it is induction, I can use the cooktop as an extended counter for non-metal items.The oven is roomy but can also be split to create two smaller ovens. Unlike other double ovens I looked at, the lower oven is at a comfortable height to use. I've used most of the options (chef bake, convection bake, roast, warming drawer, bread proof...) and they've all worked well. There are 3 different types of racks for different uses. The slide-out rack is great for getting heavy pots in and out of the bottom oven. The window is smaller than it appears from the picture and it is difficult to see in the top oven (the only thing I've been disappointed about).
Some things I've discovered that may help:
The back has a protusion that keeps it from being flat against the wall. If you are getting new countertops you'll want to allow for this.
You'll need to buy a plug. depending on your wiring, you'll need a 3 or 4 prong plug. I had new wiring installed and needed a 4 prong plug. You'll also want to buy some ceramic top cleaner as the top needs cleaning before it can be used.
You have to run the oven for an hour before you use it the first time. I didn't find the smell to be too bad but I opened the kitchen windows just in case. I used the shut-off timer which worked perfectly.
The cooktop goes up or down in 1-10 increments. The change in heat is instantaneous. This took a little getting used to. I can have something at a full boil, turn off the burner, and the boil stops. When I'm bringing a soup from a boil to a simmer it works better to reduce from 7 to 5 and then to 3.
I find it easier to leave the oven locked so I don't accidently turn on the warming drawer or have the oven beep. It takes 3 seconds to unlock and a couple more to be able to open the door. It can be locked as soon as you turn off the oven.
You can stand at the stove while the oven is on and it doesn't get too hot. It must be well insulated.
The oven beeps when it is pre-heated to the right temperature. But I find that it actually needs a little more time to realy get to temp.
There are instructions in the manual to change the settings so the stove automatically adjust the temperature by 25 degrees when you use convection. It is easy to do.
When you use the divider you lose bottom heat in the top oven and top heat in the bottom oven. If I'm baking in the bottom oven, I use convection to get a nicely browned top. I could also use the broiler. Baked goods in the top oven don't brown as well on the bottom and quickly brown on the top. However, the top oven on roast is great for roasted vegetables.
The bread proofer is great. I feel like I'm on The Great British Baking Show!
The oven is big enough to cook a full batch of cookies or cupcakes at once.
The oven divider stows easily just above the warming drawer.
Download the manual to a searchable pdf reader makes it really easy to look up how to use the different features.
I really have no complaints.

The induction cooktop saves tons of time and has very even and consistent temp control. The oven really shines by allowing two separate cooking zones. Cook at different temps in each zone. It also compensates for cooking instructions meant for regular ovens when cooking in convection mode. I know it is very expensive. But if you want the best quality and the best features.....this one is worth every dollar.

At first the price is a bit off-putting goodness is a stove really that important? But we took in to consideration the number of meals we cook, the amount of entertaining we do and the holiday turkeys we roast and said what the hey. absolutely love the dual oven plus warming tray. Still getting used to the induction and convection ways but that is just a timing thing that I need to figure out. We love this product.

Best electric stove ever!

We've had a glass-top electric stove for a long time (10 years or so). That looked good, with no heating elements,etc. But.. it was very slow to react to heating adustments. This caused a lot of burned dishes. On the other hand, this stove is perfect. It reacts to changes quickly, allowing heat control that's close to a gas range. The fact that there's four different sized areas for different sized cookware also helps. About the only complaint I have is that the oven seems fairly slow to come to temperature. Once it's there, the temp stays right as set. We haven't used the two-zone oven, but that's just a matter of time. Great features, good usability, and a great Best Buy installer team. Highly recommended!

Great stove!!!!- an electric that acts like a gas stove - very economical induction - boils water in the kettle in one minute. when you turn off the water, its off immediately, not like a normal electric stove. Need magnetic pots though, but we like a lot. Oven is quick - have to watch you don't burn stuff!!!

The induction cooktop on this range is spectacular. It boils water faster than my old gas cooktop and offers precise temp control.The ability to convert the oven into a double is very handy for complicated meals and the temperature seems pretty accurate in both zones. Plus the warming drawer in the bottom keeps food perfectly warmed when needed.

We really enjoyed this product. It looks really nice in our kitchen. The induction is working great, the dual oven works as advertised. If you love cooking and you enjoy new technology, this is the one for you. Tips: Get a good induction capable cookware and the humming noise is very minimal. Clean up is easy.

I have wanted to go induction ever since the technology came out years back. We recently moved to New Hampshire and our house had an awful electric stove. We purchased this unit and I could not be more pleased with the look and its cooking ability so far. The unit mounds in well with a flush look on the counter. (make sure you do not have tiled floor up in front of the unit, but not all the way under it, or else it will not install flush with the counters) The one downside is the need for new pots and pans, but it gave me an excuse to increase my All Clad collection. Calphalon doesn't work at all, so think about your needs and budget for new pots before you buy this unit.

This range is incredible. The induction cooktop is everything promised. Fast, easy to clean and very flexible. The convection oven took a little getting used to. Cooks more quickly and definitely more evenly. Found the option that converts regular oven times and temps to convection and everything bakes as it should!

The stove met all of our expectations; better than a gas range, very attractive addition to the kitchen too. The price was great and the delivery and installation crew was right on time,courteous and very professional. The stove is full featured making cooking delightful. The pull out oven rack and two zone oven are very useful features. We couldn't be more pleased.
