Product review (5 stars): I love my new range/oven!
I shopped around and read reviews on many sites before settling on this Samsung slide-in range for a second kitchen.  I wanted a flat, glass-top range that didn't have controls at the back for a sleeker look that maximized the view of a new backsplash.  And a convection oven was a must since I adore that feature on my main GE Profile oven.  This Samsung is perfect.

I couldn't believe how quickly the oven heated up -- a full 400 degrees in about ten minutes.  I also like that it has two fans for the convection setting.  Heat distribution is even.  The oven has a steam-clean feature in addition to the tradition self-clean cycle.  Obviously, you must put a pan of water inside for the steam-clean since the oven is not hooked up to plumbing.

The glass range top is gorgeous and smooth, and the thick, sturdy control knobs feel and look expensive.  Like many upscale electric ranges, this one has two burners with two concentric rings to concentrate the heat better.  There's also a warming center in the back middle -- not something I use, although I can see why some people would like it.  The electronic controls and their interface for both range and oven are intuitive.  The lights on the controls are turned off except when activated by touch.

I couldn't have made a better choice for my range.  The only issue to consider for potential buyers is the cut-out needed for a slide-in range.  As I discovered, there is no universal measurement, and you want to make sure that, especially if you're replacing an old one, the opening is the right size.
