Samsung - 5.8 Cu. Ft. Freestanding Gas Convection Range with Self-High Heat Cleaning - Stainless Steel

I had spent many days in googling and researching to replace my old cooktop with a standalone gas oven range with a microwave oven hood set. Bought this Samsung Freestanding Gas Convection Range and a Samsung Over-the-Range Microwave separately. They look very nice together and I'm very happy. Moreover, I found that So Cal Gas company had a $100 rebate program on selected natural gas ovens ( I figured it out while I was trying to find a rebate program for my smart thermostat ), as well. There were two Samsung gas range models listed and I checked the model numbers; one of the two models was this one. I was so glad I applied right away for a $100 rebate and wanted to share this experience with others who had bought this item after--I remember it was--October, 2020 and not applied for the rebate. So, if you have not, check socalgas.com and search for rebate.

I'm really enjoying this convection oven. I've cooked 3 pounds of bacon in 3 weeks. Bacon cooked at 400 degrees for 12 minutes comes out perfect. Today will be my first batch of cookies. I've also cooked a pork tenderloin that came out perfect. The only complaint I have is that I had to find out the hard way that you need to manually turn off the timer or no controls will work the next time you use the oven. I could not find that anywhere in the instructions.

The oven is so well insulated that it only takes 7 minutes to preheat the oven to 425 deg F. And since the oven beeps when it reaches temp, I set the timer to include the preheat time, pop in my pizza when the preheat beeper goes off. Then when the timer beeps at the end of the timed baking session, the oven shuts off. I push end. beeper stops. Pizza ready. Bakes casserole nicely also. I am not used to the range top. I miss the older style top my 1980's range had, it was easier to clean and did not allow spillage from boil over to fill in the gas orifice, which can plug up the tiny gas orifice hole. Luckily I have gas welding tip cleaning wires and was able to unplug the orifice. Boil over spills happen a lot in a house full of teenagers, so I just keep the welding tip cleaner hanging by the stove.

This stove rocks! Rapid boil using top burners. The griddle is an added bonus for Sunday morning breakfast. The convection is great for quicker cooking time.

I’ve only had this installed for ten days. But I love it. I never realized how bad the other stove was until I got this one. I would highly recommend it as of now. If anything changes... I’ll update. But as of now... a big thumbs up

I am SO happy with my experience and with the stove I purchased from Best Buy. My old oven was totaled, and I was told by multiple other stores that either of the 2 stove options I wanted wouldn’t be delivered to me until March or April (this was end of Jan). I suddenly thought to check with Best Buy and I am so glad I did! The oven I wanted originally was the NON convection version of this one (bc $) - $889. But I saw that Best Buy had the upgraded convection version for $899 AND could be delivered within a week. MC and Angel at the Maple Grove store were amazing help, and I was and continue to be over the moon about the whole experience. When my refrigerator finally kicks the bucket I know where I’m going!

We finally got to switch from electric to gas. So glad we did. I got the Samsung refrigerator and my husband got the gas Samsung stove. I guess we both got the under counter microwave. Lol This is what we got each other for Christmas. Love them all.

Beautiful looking range! Completes our stainless steel appliance set. Love the center grill, it's a first of its kind for us! Docked it one star for not having a broiler pan and because the underneath drawer is very shallow and does not hold much.
