I had purchased a new Samsung gas range a few years ago and at the time, I thought it was pretty nice and a big upgrade. I received this Frigidaire Professional range a couple of weeks ago, though, and I have to admit that you get what you pay for! This was more expensive than the Samsung, but it's MUCH better.  It looks more luxurious and is much easier to clean.  The portion in the middle that can be switched out with a griddle cooks much more evenly, gets hotter, and has a better collection area so grease doesn't spill everywhere. This range generally feels very sturdy. Sometimes the knobs, doors, handles feel cheap on ranges and all the parts feel like they will last a very long time. I would not hesitate to recommend this product.
