I've had my new Samsung duo flex electric range for about a month. Here are some of my first impressions after using it daily.
The delivery guys set everything up for me and left no mess behind. They even started heating up the oven for me and explained that I had to heat it up until the chemical smells are dissipated before cooking in it.
The range is very sleek, modern and expensive looking. The smart dial and touch screen panel is so beautiful and easy to navigate.
I really like that the knobs light up when the stovetop is in use. I had accidently left my electric stove on overnight because it was not easy to tell from a distance on my old range. The lights can help me avoid such accidents.
The first dish I made was French crepes, the burners are really good at holding a gentle even low heat. I was also finally able to make lacy gyoza without burning them.
I do not care for the location of the vents at the back of the stovetop. Food will inadvertently fall into it and can't be extracted. I can't block the vents so I'm still trying to figure out a way to prevent food from being trapped and molded inside. I also miss having a bridge over two eyes to use a griddle for making pancakes. My oven divider had a chip and dent in it, I was told it doesn't affect performance but I can't get a replacement for it.
The double oven is cavernous. That would be so helpful come holiday season when multiple things need to go into the oven at different temperatures.
I find myself using the upper oven like a toaster oven a lot. I like that it is more energy efficient than using the whole oven and won't heat the kitchen up as much on a hot day.
I love that I can control my oven with the app. It was very easy to set up although it took more time to figure the app out than the oven front panel. I really like that I can choose to have my oven turned off or keep the temp at the end of baking. I could not do any of that with my old range.
The steam clean function is life changing. I absolutely love how easy it is to clean by just wiping off some water. I've decided to do it at least once a month to keep it in tip-top condition.
