Get dinner on the table. The five-burner stovetop on this Samsung range gives you even more space to get your gourmet going. Dual oven temperatures and double doors let you vary up your menu and bake or roast at the same time. Plus, you can control it all remotely if you download the app to your smart device.

Not a TRUE double oven, but it works really good!
on January 9, 2017
Posted by: Etnadian
I have had this installed for a few weeks now and can give a few pros and cons....
Pros: Stove top heats quickly and cleans up nice.
Illuminated dials show when one is on with a glance, which is nice when you have a burner turned on but is not lit.
Wi Fi controls a bit cumbersome, but nice to adjust oven and timer from your phone.
Oven heats rapidly and convection cooks really quick without adjusting recipe temps.
-----------------------------------
Cons: Top oven has a tendency to crisp up the top of things being baked. DO NOT USE TOP OVEN FOR CAKES as it will burn the top before it even is done. Pizza, cookies, meats and such come out fine. Even cooked a frozen pie well in the top as long as the rack in the top portion is at it's lowest. sometimes a bit of foil covering will help keep the tops from scorching. Remember the heating comes out of the TOP burner which is also used to broil, so it's quite hot. We typically keep the rack in the top oven at it's LOWEST point.
The oven vents it's heat from top back of the unit which will melt things hanging on the back-splash. Keep in mind that the heat coming from these vents is quite intense and I advise a heat resistant back-splash wall like tile, stone or metal.
---------------------
Conclusion: Because I didn't expect it to run exactly like a typical dual oven, I'm not disappointed. I'm learning where to place things to get the best results. My mother-in-law absolutely loves it even with the top oven issue. Nothing that couldn't be adjusted. I have instructed her to use the lower oven for corn bread and cakes to help with the top burning issue. I'd give it 5 stars, but with the limitations from the top oven and WiFi features being so limited, I have given it 4.

Overall4 out of 5
4 out of 5Some issues you should be aware of
By dapipes2
I broke my cardinal rule: When you make a significant purchase, you should really download the manual first BEFORE you buy and read it. If I did this, I would have been aware of some limitations regarding the double-oven feature of this product.
This oven has some features that only work when in 'single-oven' mode.
Food warmer feature:
This only works in single-oven mode. So, if you think you can use one of the ovens to keep food warm and the other to bake, forget it. Not available.

Upper temperature limit:
I like to bake pizzas as hot as possible. The specs say this oven goes to 550 degrees, which I would normally set for pizza. But NOT in double-oven mode. Only up to 480 for each oven. Sorry!

Convection / standard bake features (convection uses the interior fans):
When using double-oven, convection feature is available in both ovens, but only one oven can use the non-convection bake mode (forgot which one).
Temperature differences when using double oven:
The allowable temperature difference between the top and bottom oven is about 125 degrees. So, you can bake at 425 in top oven and 300 in bottom oven. But if you wanted to bake at 425 in top and 250 in bottom, it's a no-go!
Pros:
Front right burner is really powerful!
Solid build quality
Nice front touch panel (although leaves fingerprints!) Wipe it often.
Nice center burner and heavy duty removable griddle
Two independent timers

Doesn't have the utility of a true double oven
Timer alarms not loud enough

So, if you're ok with the limitations listed, I would still recommend this product!

Nice and accurate review... (for those wondering, the bottom oven is the only one capable of non-convection when in dual oven mode - and with my experience, I wouldn't bake anything in the top oven unless you want it really crispy on top- never cakes). I personally do not find the oven temperature issues that much of a problem. My main reason for the dual oven was convenience and being able to heat a smaller space for energy savings yet with this model I don't lose the larger cavity for large items like turkeys and such.

Does this range have the quick boil function?
due to the nature of gas vs. electric, I don't feel this has the "quick boil" feature of electric ranges. It does, however, have a very large burner on the front that is a dual heating burner that will boil water quickly, but only for a pan whose bottom fits it.
