Samsung - Flex Duo™ 5.8 Cu. Ft. Self-Cleaning Slide-In Gas Convection Range - Stainless steel

I am absolutely loving my new Samsung 5.8 Cu ft slide in Gas flex Duo Range with Dual door! It is a dream compared to my previous stove from the 60's. I never knew what I was missing until I got my new range. It fires up quite nicely without any hesitation. Each of the 5 burners work with as little or as much flame power as I need. It will easily adjust with the knobs on the front with little hesitation. They glow a pretty blue to let you know that you have the stove top burner on. The light can be seen from across the room. What I like is that you have to push the knobs in so that it will turn on the burner. This is a great safety feature to prevent the stove from turning on while cleaning. The middle burner is perfect for using the griddle that is included, (which is very heavy duty by the way...it's cast iron) I can also use it for oblong pots or pans.There is even a wok burner attachment! It burns so hot that I can get rid of my electric wok and use this instead! The simmer burner is perfect for making stews or chili. All of the other burners are great too! The flames can go very high, which I would not have to use them on full blast because my pots are not big enough! The range allows me to cook evenly so I don't have to keep moving my chicken pieces around the pot to make sure that it's evenly cooked. I just flip and it cooks nicely all around. The oven part of the range is awesome! I love the look of it and the way that it functions! The dual door is a great option for me so that I can cook multiple items at once. The door has a locking feature so that I can just open the top door my itself if I don't want to disturb what is cooking below. There are two lights inside, one for the top oven and the other for the bottom oven. I can turn them on independently or together. The oven comes with multiple racks that can be adjusted to various positions within the two ovens. The touch screen is a nice added feature as well as the wi-fi connectibility. (still learning about the wifi) The touch screen pad responds quickly and with ease. A touch of the button and this oven does what I need it to. There is even a Sabbath mode on this oven. (not a feature I would use, but I would imagine that some people would find this very useful) There is a lockout feature on this range as well. Hold the button down for 3 seconds and it will lock the touchpad from being utilized until you hold it down again for another 3 seconds. This feature will also lock the oven door shut. This is a very nice for someone who has a child. The range has a warming drawer on the bottom as well. One drawback is that it is not very deep, but I can live with that. It's a very heavy and durable range that can be enjoyed for years to come! Overall, this range is a beauty and has a lot of great features that other ranges do not. I am very pleased with it and look forward to using it for many dishes to come!

If you are looking for less than a commercial grade with all the new high tech features, but foremost safety of family, then look no further. What my family and i love most about this range is its smart and safety options. first of all samsung has intregated this range with its smart control options. what that allows the users to do is not only the convience of controlling the dual convections ovens, but also allows you to montior the cooktop. In the gas version, you cannot control the cooktop from the smartthings app, but atleast you can see if you left any of your cooktops on or even the oven. The ovens you can turn on and off from the app. Having two little kids in the house who love to get into things, this is an amazing option. Also, what samsung has done is that they have also built in led lights into the knobs sections of the cooktop, which may not seem like a big deal, but when you have two little kids running around the house and getting into thing, you can easily glance over you shoulder to see if they kids accidently turned on any of the cooktop or just pull out your phone and check. In my opinion, samsung has done an amazing job with this range. It has an amazing 22,000 btu burner, which just makes cooking anything an easy task. The over controls have been placed in the middle of the cooktop knobs in a very sleek and easy touch control screen. The dual flex, dual oven make cooking a large meal just a simple task. The dual ovens can be set to different temperatures and seperate cooking times. The upper oven also has a connection for a temperature probe which allows you to monitor the internal temperature of any item you are cooking, along with its multiple adjustable racks. This is an amazing safe and smart range.

We have the range at home for 2 months now and use it regularly. I have read most of the reviews that were posted and thought I can add a little more. First, let me say that most of the cooking we do at home is performed at the range top - and of the five burners we have not yet used the center one. But the four that we use are truly outstanding! This area is clearly a HUGE strength of this appliance and it is versatile and easy to use. The 22k burner is extremely powerful - probably as powerful as it gets without going to very high end line. With it we reached searing and oil heating temperature that we have never thought possible on a stove top yet it can be lowered to near-simmer levels. The second strongest (15K) is excellent as well, and the smallest one is a true simmer burner. I really like the design that leaves enough space in the back so that larger skillets or pots can be placed there without overlapping the front burners area. As for the stove, we mostly use the two compartments configuration with the divider in (only once we cooked with the divider out). We do not bake cookies or cakes so I do not have much to say there, but we do cook meat, chicken, fish, and vegetables. Having two compartments is so nice especially when you have a dinner with several courses to bake or roast. Things just move so much faster altogether and of course you can use the compartment to keep things warm before serving. We do not find it a problem that "broil" is only at the top and "bake-no convection" only at the bottom, since you can choose where you place things based on what you need. We have used the oven about a dozen times so far and without exception the results were excellent! Love the touch controls - very easy to follow and responsive. Finally - heat vent - mainly at the back, through very active fans, no problem at all. During extended cooking in the oven, all the external surfaces are only slightly warm and there is no issue of escaping heat, hot knobs, etc. Altogether - for what we need - a great buy!

I broke my cardinal rule: When you make a significant purchase, you should really download the manual first BEFORE you buy and read it. If I did this, I would have been aware of some limitations regarding the double-oven feature of this product. This oven has some features that only work when in 'single-oven' mode. Food warmer feature: This only works in single-oven mode. So, if you think you can use one of the ovens to keep food warm and the other to bake, forget it. Not available. Upper temperature limit: I like to bake pizzas as hot as possible. The specs say this oven goes to 550 degrees, which I would normally set for pizza. But NOT in double-oven mode. Only up to 480 for each oven. Sorry! Convection / standard bake features (convection uses the interior fans): When using double-oven, convection feature is available in both ovens, but only one oven can use the non-convection bake mode (forgot which one). Temperature differences when using double oven: The allowable temperature difference between the top and bottom oven is about 125 degrees. So, you can bake at 425 in top oven and 300 in bottom oven. But if you wanted to bake at 425 in top and 250 in bottom, it's a no-go! Pros: Front right burner is really powerful! Solid build quality Nice front touch panel (although leaves fingerprints!) Wipe it often. Nice center burner and heavy duty removable griddle Two independent timers Cons: The double-oven limitations described above Doesn't have the utility of a true double oven Timer alarms not loud enough So, if you're ok with the limitations listed, I would still recommend this product!

We love the black stainless and slide in look. It is really easy to keep clean even with all our kids cooking on it. The gas top works well. We have had this unit 3 months and have not been able to get good results in the oven cavity with or without the divider. With the divider in: The top smaller portion of the oven is where the broiler heating unit is. The result is the heating element is just inches from your food. Even with reduced temperatures we have burned pizzas and taco shells in the time it took to preheat the upper portion of the oven. The technician measured the temperature of the upper unit and measured it as normal. The bottom portion also reads slightly lower than expected with the divider in. I have good results cooking smaller items in the lower portion with the divider in. With the divider removed: With the oven preheated to 400 F the technician gets a temperature reading of around 400 at the top of the oven and 250 at the bottom (this is with convection running.) This cannot be fixed and was told this is normal because as soon as the divider is removed it turns off the bottom heat sensor. The geek squad tech said he has never seen such a large temperature difference within a cavity of an oven. Be advised that it is hard to cook more than one food item at a time with the divider out. If you need everything cooked at the same temperature, or if you are cooking a large item, make sure the bottom of it is cooked and the top isn't overcooked. I have cooked in lots of ovens here and overseas over the years we were in the military, this one is the hardest to get good results. I have been actively cooking and baking for over 40 years.

I have had this installed for a few weeks now and can give a few pros and cons.... Pros: Stove top heats quickly and cleans up nice. Illuminated dials show when one is on with a glance, which is nice when you have a burner turned on but is not lit. Wi Fi controls a bit cumbersome, but nice to adjust oven and timer from your phone. Oven heats rapidly and convection cooks really quick without adjusting recipe temps. ----------------------------------- Cons: Top oven has a tendency to crisp up the top of things being baked. DO NOT USE TOP OVEN FOR CAKES as it will burn the top before it even is done. Pizza, cookies, meats and such come out fine. Even cooked a frozen pie well in the top as long as the rack in the top portion is at it's lowest. sometimes a bit of foil covering will help keep the tops from scorching. Remember the heating comes out of the TOP burner which is also used to broil, so it's quite hot. We typically keep the rack in the top oven at it's LOWEST point. The oven vents it's heat from top back of the unit which will melt things hanging on the back-splash. Keep in mind that the heat coming from these vents is quite intense and I advise a heat resistant back-splash wall like tile, stone or metal. --------------------- Conclusion: Because I didn't expect it to run exactly like a typical dual oven, I'm not disappointed. I'm learning where to place things to get the best results. My mother-in-law absolutely loves it even with the top oven issue. Nothing that couldn't be adjusted. I have instructed her to use the lower oven for corn bread and cakes to help with the top burning issue. I'd give it 5 stars, but with the limitations from the top oven and WiFi features being so limited, I have given it 4.

My recently rebuilt home (#RebuildforLindsay), needed a good quality range and I always wanted to own a gas range. After spending much time on Pintrest, I narrowed down my dream oven and came across this Samsung range at the store. I love all of the great features that it offers, I haven't used them all yet, like the Smart feature, but I'm getting there. My builder set it up so I am unsure of that part of the process. Everyday use is so much fun and I am never worried about any dangerous gas leaks. The flames on the stove burn even and each burner has a different burner size for different size pans. I am able to cook up to 5 different things at a time using different pans. The flame settings are easy to adjust from really high to really low and just in between. It's much better than electric because it heats things up much quicker. There is a heavy duty cast iron griddle that is included which is specifically designed for the middle burner. One side is flat and the other has slits in it, its great for making pancakes or grilling steaks. Its does get messy but clean-up is easy by removing the cast iron burners. The dual oven is awesome and I typically use the bottom one only for cooking. The top portion will burn food quick and it's better to be used for broiling. There is a middle shelf can be easily removed to cook something bigger, like a large casserole. The touchscreen for the stove is easy to use. The only thing that I don't like is that when I have the oven on and I need to lean to get to the back burner, I turn the oven off with my stomach. It's a little sensitive and I'm not sure if that can be adjusted. I am proud of purchase and this stove is the center piece of my new kitchen!

The range top is incredible--from a VERY hot sear, to a very gentle simmer, it lets you do it all. The middle burner, which comes with a griddle, I will probably use more for large pots as the griddle takes quite a bit of time to heat up and is kind of a pill to clean. I'd rather sear (steak, tuna, etc) in a pan on the highest burner, or make eggs etc in a fry pan. I really don't eat pancakes and sausage and bacon just splash grease all over when cooking on the griddle. And that would be the case for any center griddle on any range. BUT the spectrum of control that the gas range gives you really lets you make ANYTHING! It's absolutely wonderful. The best part though, I think, is the oven featuring the 2 different compartments that you can set at 2 different temperatures. Even though there's just the two of us, I have used this feature many times already. I primarily use just the smaller upper compartment but there are times when I need both OR I need the combined larger compartment, which I can easily do! I'm excited about cooking Thanksgiving dinner for 15 people in it! The convection oven works better than any other convection oven I have ever owned over the last 20 years! The temperature is very accurate and the results come out moist and evenly baked or roasted. LOVE this range; would buy it again in a heartbeat. Well worth the extra bucks due to it's versatility and quality!
