Samsung 30" Self-Cleaning Freestanding Electric Convection Range - Black/Stainless-Steel Review

Flawed

"This has been our third disappointment with our Samsung kitchen suite. Something spilled on the top, and because of the design of the stove door it actually got between the inner and outer glass of the door. Solution: Unscrew the inner part of the door.



Now, spilling on any stove does happen now and again, and the point to this type of range (glass top) is that it is supposed to be easy to clean and maintain. Not only is the surface itself harder to clean than any other glass top stove I've seen, but the leaking into the door is weird and should be easy to design around.



Apart from that, the controls are well laid out if not always intuitive (things like the cooking timer take some getting used to and are not intuitive.) The heating elements are well laid out, and the knobs have a satisfying smooth motion that gives the stove a quality feel. Heating happens quickly, which was important to us - we would have preferred a gas range, but that can't be hooked up in our condo.



Overall, the suite has been a big disappointment, with every item having problems. Samsung customer service has been awful, worst I've experienced. As much as it's pretty, I can't recommend buying this range."
