FX510 and FX710 BGS gas range

We've had this range almost two months and I felt the need to share some observations.
The Good: It looks great! I really enjoy cooking on it and even the cleanup is reasonably easy.
The not-so-good: The front/right power burner is pretty loud. I read this in advance, but didn't expect it to be quite as noisy as it is. Just sounds like a whistle. And the ring of flame is so wide, only my biggest pot/pan can be used at full blast. 14"+. With a 10" pot, the flames go up the sides. The center griddle burner is great, but underpowered. I need to run it on High for at least 10 minutes to heat my griddle, and then leave it on high for cooking. You couldn't burn a pancake if you tried, but it does work well. Anything below high is useless.
The Bad: After Thanksgiving and several batches of Christmas cookies, I decided to try the self-cleaning feature in the oven. It heated for about 23 minutes to get up to temp and cycled off for about 2 minutes. At 25 minutes it came back on and heated for another 2 minuted and POP! The inner oven glass exploded! That great big window which makes that oven so nice to look at seems to be its downfall, See pictures, attached
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive
Cons: oven door glass failure
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Good range
on February 26, 2012
Posted by: Carefulbuyer01
Overall, this range works well. 2 complaints: the bottom panel is made if very thin metal plate that is very easy to ding or dent. Another problem: the front glass panel can get stained INSIDE if you spill any liquid on the top edge of the door. It should not be a big deal to clean up a spill but you cannot access the inside of the double glass door. The spillage on the inside makes it look cheap.
Pros: Bright display
Cons: poor glass door design, thin bottom panel
I would recommend this to a friend!

So far, so good

Replaced a GE gas range that we've never been happy with.
We love the more compact size (i.e., the handle does not stick out into the kitchen doorway) and the general look. Cooking, so far, has been a dream. The oven heats to 350 in 6 minutes, the GE took 20 (even when new). The surface of the oven, while warm, does not feel over hot. Love the continuous surface on the top, as well as the keypad oven controls (don't have to cycle through all temperatures).

Pros: attractive, quick pre-heat
Cons: no surface light

Beautiful, Functional, and High-Quality

Great range. The only issue we had was minor. When we first used the oven, there was a strange smell. I thought it was gas leaking because the fire alarm went off. Turns out that the material (paint or coating) inside the oven burns the first couple of times the oven is used. Ever since then, no strange smells and no fire alarm sounding... works and looks great! :)
Pros: Durable, stylish, high-quality
I would recommend this to a friend!

Very versatile product

I love my new range. It's so much better than my old range. Water boils much faster. The oven temperature seems exactly right so far. It has so much more room in the than my old one (which was a different brand). The controls are somewhat self explanatory but the manual is easy to use.
I look forward to using it for many years.

Our cooking joy.

Expertise:Expert
We spend lots of time cooking meals, canning, baking bread, making cheeses. We're very busy on the stove. This stove has done all of these tasks with great efficiency and style. It is a joy to cook on it. The convection oven is a new feature for us, and we like it for biscuits. The full width cooktop grille is very nice--easy to slide pots from high burners to simmering burners. Stainless steel backboard, intelligent electronic display. Readily cleaned up. Good workmanship, good design in manufacturing--a quality stove.
Pros: subtle quality design
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great product except for one thing

This is overall a great product. The only disappointment was the gas range did not come with a broiler pan. Now I will need to purchase one. Should not have given my old broiler pan away with my few year old GE. It seems kind of odd to me that a stove equipped with an upper broiler burner would not have the broiler pan so you can use the upper burner. There is one other little quirk. The light from the blue digital display bounces off the range top and you need to check and see if a burner was left on. Only happens when the room is dark. Otherwise a great gas range.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great stove!

We replaced a GE gas range and are so pleased with the Samsung! The convection feature, delayed and time bake features are one of the main reasons we bought this stove. Since we had a gas range in our home when we built it, we missed the delay feature since only electric ovens had it. We also love the 5th oval burner. We have a cast iron griddle that fits over it and it's wonderful to cook on.
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive
