Big oven heat well, great enclosed bottom element

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The oven is large enough for multiple casseroles for large family gatherings. The enclosed bottom element does a great job making cleanup easier. The different tone at the end of timed bake makes it easy to understand when cooking is finished compared to when heating to temperature as occurred. The smooth surface for control and setup buttons is easy to clean.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great temperature control for browning cooking and the convection oven or air frying capabilities are a great touch. Such a versatile tool in the kitchen.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I LOVE the new stove. Much more room inside the oven, more levels to put the food in. The burners are so nice at every level and I love cooking in and on it. The technology is too much for my 70 years, but I don’t have to use all the features and I do look forward to trying convection and air fry. The time cook is Soooo convenient. If you are not yet using it I would say you should definitely try it.
Front right burner (largest) is great for canning, making broth & stews. However, the infinite controller (the switch the knob connects to inside the control panel) has issues and immediately ramps up to high regardless of the setting it is set to (low for example). The large and small burner both come on even if you only select the small burner (inner burner) on the front right burner. Things cannot be left unattended on the front right burner without constant "babysitting" which is difficult making broth or stews where the contents are supposed to boil or simmer for a set amount of time. Based on my youtube search this isn't an uncommon issue for Samsung ranges. It was iffy during the warranty period and outright failed after the warranty period expired. All the other burners seem to work fine (so far). The oven itself seems decent enough. 6.3 cu. ft. interior of the oven will definitely hold a large/very large turkey. Though an inch or two of depth is sacrificed in the back of the oven for the air fry/convection component so it really isn't as deep as it looks. The air fry setting is fairly gimmicky. If you want to air fry, get an air fryer. AND...you need an air fry basket/sheet to use the air fry setting correctly. An air fry basket/sheet has holes cut into the bottom to allow the heated air to pass through. So although it says it is air fry ready - you need additional hardware to capitalize on it. Like I said, get an air fryer - no special hardware needed. Using the air fry option without the air fry basket/sheet is just using the bake setting with a fan - food will take just as long to bake with using the air fry setting without the specific hardware as it does to bake something on the bake setting. The oven itself has a VERY hard time with lower temperature holding - say 250 degrees to ~300 degrees. So cooking fish or dehydrating things is difficult because the oven cannot hold that low of a temperature - it either turns off or the heat bobbles up and down trying to find the right temperature (thermostat issue?). Also a full day of cooking cookies (a double or triple batch) will cause the oven temperature to spike up towards the end and burn the last couple sheets of cookies. So heating internally is consistently inconsistent. Trying to cook cookies with the convection setting just straight up burns the cookies, so meh? The stainless steel look is very nice and hides fingerprints well. We are slowly switching over all our appliances to the stainless steel design as the older appliances fail. The dishwasher is the last holdout, ha!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Greetings!
We appreciate you sharing your detailed experience with the front right burner, oven performance, and Air Fry feature, as well as how the stainless steel finish fits into your kitchen. Your feedback helps us understand how our products are used and where improvements can make a meaningful difference. Let us provide help.
To help with the cooktop burner, please see the Samsung troubleshooting link below, which includes resources and options to set an appointment:
Samsung electric and induction cooktop temperature issues: https://www.samsung.com/us/support/troubleshoot/TSG10002324/
Regarding the Air Fry feature: it requires the air fry tray since the technology works by circulating hot air around the food (Maillard reaction). Here’s a comparison between countertop and oven air fryers:
• Countertop air fryer: Delivers quick, extra-crispy results for smaller batches, thanks to its highly efficient airflow.
• Oven air fry: Offers the convenience of cooking larger quantities at once, perfect for family meals, while still achieving a nicely crisped finish.
This range also includes a dehydrating feature, with the lowest temperature set at 100 °F. For baking, please note that convection mode is not recommended for cookies; conventional baking is still preferred. For oven temperature troubleshooting, please see:
