A Great Range With All…

If you are looking for the best possible electric range, this has to be high on your list of choices. It isn't cheap, but there is basically no feature it is missing: Double oven (and both have convection which isn't that common in doubles), air fryer, dehydrator, SmartThings integration, etc. If you need a feature, it probably has it, and it looks really good as well. I was very concerned that it wouldn't fit, but Samsung's dimensions are on the safe side. If you have around 29 7/8", it should fit.
The stove-top can get a skillet to 375 degrees in less than 90 seconds based on my temp gun. That's crazy fast. The knobs are somewhat confusing at first since different burners go different ways, but you get used to it. I thought the air fryer would be a gimmick, but foods definitely come out crunchier and crisper than the oven alone. Heat seems even within the oven with quick preheat, and the temperature probe that can be inserted into a roast is a nice touch. Also, I like it can switch to "Keep Warm" after the cook time is done.
Of course, there are some downsides, but they are fairly minor: The biggest one is probably that the knobs are not disabled when the child lock feature is engaged, and this seems like a silly oversight. The knobs glow this pretty blue when turned on, so they are eye-catching to our toddler who likes to turn them. If you have a curious child, be very careful or you could start a fire if you leave something on top of a burner. I wish the feature disabled the knobs as well as locking the oven door. This will matter significantly more to those who have small children than those who do not.
Additionally, it's really frustrating that the Smart Control feature disables every time you open the oven door or after a scheduled timeout. I understand why Samsung did this--it is a huge liability if someone turns on the oven from their phone without checking on it--but it makes it so you have to plan your meals ahead of time. You can't just say "Oh, let me preheat the oven from my phone before I leave work." You need to enable the feature before you leave for work in the morning. Still, if you plan ahead, it is nice. Finally, a lot of the modes do not work if you have the Smart Divider in the oven. I expected this, but it would be nice if I could air fry in one while baking in another.
Still, the downsides are minor, and if you are looking for an electric range that checks all the boxes, this will do nicely. Recommended.
