Samsung - Flex Duo™ 5.8 cu. ft. Self-Cleaning Freestanding Gas Convection Range - Stainless steel

Unpacked the stove, put everything together then saw that the top was stainless. Sending it back as it would be a nightmare to keep clean. Had to wait till Monday so I used it till then as I had no other. After dinner I used a damp sponge to wipe the top off and a dish towel to dry it. Dinner never happened. You would need a forensic investigator, ( before I get educated on the definition of forensic, please be advised that some of my culinary innovations have been referred to as "crimes against humanity".),to determine if it had been used. It also had a power burner that was WAY to hot. When I learned how it worked, it became my go to flame. Hot hot to low low and every temp in between This is not a cheep date but as I was researching stoves, this fortunately went on sale. Note that I have the slide in version, not freestanding as pictured in the ad,

Wow! This is such a great stove and oven. I love the flexibility to use it as either 1 or 2 ovens with 2 different temperature settings. The color is great and so sleek looking.

Best range I have ever used, works perfect and can control from my phone.

Must have gas oven. Bottom heats up fast. Trying to get used to convection. Sharp!

Very disappointed. Purchased this in black stainless steel thinking it was premium product (paid more) only to have black finish to start peeling in less then 2 years. I have only used approved cleaner recommended by BB sales team when I purchased this stove, refrigerator and microwave. When wiping down with cleaner and terry cloth towel the finish started peeling. I also bought extended warranty and BB will not cover fixing. I can understand if this was caused by damage due to misuse or accident but this is happening due to standard cleaning. When I called out service tech he stated this is not uncommon for Samsung. Needless to say I’ll be buying all LG from now on.

I purchase this item after visiting the store. Looks great and the t caught my eyes immediately. Love the smart features. Very easy to use and even though I have not used the ovens as yet I anticipate no problem as it seems easy enough with the settings very clear. I have used most of the burners on the stove top and I am truly pleased. It’s easy to clean as well.

Our range was delivered 6 months ago. I have refrained from reviewing it until now in order to give it a fair test. I am disappointed. First, the advertising implies the Duo Flex is the equivalent of a double oven, each with full convection. As explained to us by a repair person (called out because a burner required more adjustment than we could make) the only true convection is when you use it as a single oven. The range seems to be very poorly insulated. When you use both ovens or run the self-cleaning feature, even open doors and windows cannot keep the heat in the kitchen down to bearable levels. Because it is a 30" range, the five burners are necessarily crowded. As a result, it often is difficult to use more than two pans at one time, particularly if one is a wok or a 12" cast iron frying pan. The surface of the range is very hard to keep clean, both because it shows off every smidgeon of grease that escapes a pan and because the burner assemblies are so light that I choose to remove them rather than risk bumping them out of place and breaking the igniter. Too, the deeply depressed surface makes it difficult to get bits of food out of it. (I may invest $50 in a custom-fit mat for the range top. If I do, I'll update this to tell you how that works.) It is very light. I have not been able to use the anti-tip device to hold it in place due to the construction of our kitchen. It can take a while to learn how to open the oven door without pulling the range away from the wall, especially when opening just the upper half of the door. I ran the self-cleaning routine last night, as I went to bed. The kitchen was a dry sauna in the first hour, even with the door and windows open and the ceiling fan on. (My wife says we can simply leave the oven on and the furnace off this winter.) When my wife checked it his morning, she found that the porcelain on the bottom of the range was burned off in three areas. It should be a simple replacement but it merely confirms my belief we made a mistake buying this.

Love this stove! It looks great. I use the top oven a lot to roast, bake, or broil. I love the versatility of being able to use the top oven, the two 2 ovens, or one full oven. Conserving space and energy are important to me. I still have a drawer at the bottom, and do not have to lift items out of the oven at near floor level. The range fires up instantly and evenly. The black surface hides dirt and cleans easily. The 3-piece iron grid accommodates multiple cookware of different sizes. The light bulb in the top did go out within a month. (This seems to be common.) And I wish there were two rows of flames instead of just one so broiling could be more even for bigger items.
