A joy to cook on

We've had our range for about a year now and are very happy with our purchase. Center burners are often low BTU burners that are good for warming only, but we routinely use ours for pancakes and it does a great job. The smaller top oven is great for homemade pizzas. We use a pizza stone and heat it to 500F, so having the smaller space to heat helps to reduce the heat in the kitchen. My only two complaints are the sliding rack which is a great feature, but not well executed. If you don't slide it in very straight, it sticks and you have to mess with it to get it to slide in. Not ideal with the oven hot and wearing an oven mitt. I also used the self-cleaning feature today after some chicken grease spilled in the oven and it did not do a very good job. Cleaning power (or time) is selectable from 1 (lowest) to 5 (highest) and I chose 3, so it may just be that I need to go full power, but the mess was not exceptional and two hours seemed like it would be sufficient. Other than these minor complaints, we love our KitchenAid and love cooking on it.

Replaced a smaller Samsung HDTV that was about 6 yrs old, but was really disappointed in this TV. The picture looked grainy. The viewing angle was really limited. If you sit dead center in front of the TV and lean to one side, the opposite side of the screen gets washed out, and glare from any lamps or lights seemed really bad.
On the plus side, the remote is very cool and there are a lot of options for adjusting the picture, and the 3D looks great.
We returned ours and exchanged it for the JS8500 and are much happier.

Do not buy SAMSUNG Televisions!!! After the one year warranty period SAMSUNG Television screens tend to show burn-in and ghosting with horizontal lines, along with very heavy distortion of picture on right side of screen. This problem is systemic in all their LCD's and LED's. Consumer's have complained all over the internet. There are even numerous Youtube postings with the exact same problems as in my DEFECTIVE SAMSUNG model, as well as the same DEFECT in other models. This defect occurs upon start-up, and lasts for the first 15 minutes of trying to view a program. Then the picture gets progressively worse over time and continuously declines.
I tried SAMSUNG's Executive Customer Relations Dept. and was told: "We will do nothing but refer you to a local Authorized Repair Shop." They were downright blunt and rude to boot! I feel robbed of $2,900.00
The repair will consist of a diagnosis visit, and then another visit to install a replacement "Panel" that costs $1,300.00 for the part plus $279.00 to install, plus taxes......all told, another $1,719.16....basically, buy another TV.
SAMSUNG customer service also told me that their Televisions depreciate at 20% per year, and they do not repair any of their products after 4 years! Their own repair people told me to just buy a new set!!!
If I save one family the heartache of losing they're hard-earned money, I'll be happy!
SAMSUNG CONS:
No Customer Support
Systemic Panel Defect
Ghosting of images
Burn-in on screen
Distorted picture
Very expensive to repair

I've had my Samsung for almost 6 years with none of the issues noted. What does your review have to do with this TV?
