Samsung Dual Fuel Dual Oven - any opinion or owners?

8 years ago

Hi Everyone,

I am looking to streamline my new Kitchen design. It has been brilliantly suggested that I go to a dual oven range instead of a range with a single oven and then and full size (30'') oven mounted under the counter.

I have been doing some research and found this Samsung . It is a 5 burner gas cooktop (I want 5 burner) with dual electric ovens - actually you can use the "top" oven alone or the "bottom" oven alone or combine the oven to one big oven for a massive turkey (which is not something I do lol). It also has a warming drawer and is self cleaning.

I was wondering if anyone has experience with this unit or has an opinion.

Thank you!

Hi Winston,

I just bought this range - I wanted a slide-in double oven gas range and this was one of the few available. There is a GE Profile model, but I didn't like the look of that one, and a GE Cafe model, which is very attractive but had a lot of complaints about knobs melting when the top oven is in use. I ended up taking a bit of a leap of faith on this Samsung model, since it's new and there aren't too many reviews out there. I'll report back in mid-April once it's installed!

Here's a thread I posted asking the same question a few months ago.

Winston, I realize this is late but I purchased the duo flex dual fuel slide in Samsung range in April. I'm a sucker for a gimmick. The top oven uses the broiler element to heat the cavity and only has convection bake. Never the less things still burn on top unless covered. Our bottom oven temperature is way off and isn't even off a consistent amount. We're having it serviced. Also, even though the advertising says the unused oven remains cool if using the oven with the divider in, this is not true. Using the lower oven at 400 degrees eventually heated the upper oven close to 300. The divider just doesn't insulate that well. The gas cooktop works well. The 5th burner is for a griddle that comes with the range. It takes a very long time to heat the cast iron griddle. We have not yet tried cooking two dishes simultaneously in the oven. Love the gas cooktop, the ovens not so much. Should have saved money and just gotten a single oven range. I will say it's a very good looking range and one of the reasons I got is for the kitchen remodel.

Dual Fuel or all gas range? Opinions please...

I think there are differences in brands even among electric convection ovens as well as gas convection ovens. They all are a little different in the way they roast/bake so unless you can try them out it is hard to compare. They will also vary according to the way the individual uses them. I really like my electric convection ovens and would get them again. They are two different brands and are each a little different. If you broil a lot then I would get all gas but if you bake large amounts and fill up the oven, the third convection element is supposed to keep the oven temp more even. I like the various modes and being able to direct the heat from top or bottom. I have baked in all kinds of ovens over a long time and you can make any of them work but it just depends on what you bake/roast/broil and what will make that easier.

Wolf Dual Fuel range owner...

YouÂve probably read my posts before but here it goes. >>>Wolf Dual Fuel Range owner... How do you like your range? What do you like about it or vice versa? Repairs? Service issues? IÂm donÂt own a duel fuel because I could never justify the extra cost for what I consider to be a marketing gimmick. The range burners are very good, no repairs or service needed on two different stoves over 15 years. >>>I like the griddle but I heard great things about the infrared grill too. Is it hard to clean? To clean the grill: 1) Turn it on high let it run for 10 minutes 2) Brush it off with a grill bush Mine is a high use one, I clean wipe out below the grates every 2 weeks, that takes about 2 minutes with a wet cloth and then do a through cleaning twice a year. NOTE: The griddle is harder to keep clean than the grill. Grill or Griddle???????? That depends upon YOU and what you cook. Write down a list of what you would cook over a month and then see which one you will use more. If itÂs not a huge difference than get the grill and buy a griddle that sits upon your burners and have the best of both worlds. The wolf infrared Char-broiler is one of the main reasons I brought this unit, it is a top of the line unit that is not comparable to any others except American ranges. >>>From another GardenWeb thread, Miele oven seems to be superior over the Wolf; do you have problems with your oven below the stove? (i.e. some had mentioned the blue oven interior fading/flaking) Could be, any electric oven that is self-cleaning undergoes high heat for several hours, that puts extra strain on the coatings and the parts themselves, personally it is another gimmick I donÂt see a need for. I have American Range double wall ovens (gas), if I went electric I would seriously consider the GE Profile series. >>>I am also considering a wolf rangetop (open burner) and a separate wall oven ( partly because I find it easier to operate the oven while standing upright than bending down; however, my husband prefers the grand look of a 48" or 60" freestanding range. ThatÂs a personal choice, if I went the cooktop route and no grill I would probably get a Bluestar and one of the ovens I mentioned above. If I wanted a great grill I would get the wolf.

Okay, while not installed I did get the electrics wired up so the oven was available. We decided to do a test with a frozen degarno pizza in the upper oven. Quickly found a weakness at least in my opinion. The upper oven uses what would be broiler elements in a full oven for heat. This rapidly over cooked the pizza top while leaving the crust near raw. We put it back in covered with foil to cook the crust. Crispy pepperoni,. Yuuummmmm. I've no idea if normal double oven ranges cook the same way. The rack was on the lower of the two available positions with the divider installed. Maybe if we had put the pizza on the divider itself it would have not been as bad. I don't know. Something to try next time. For now it seems that upper oven dishes will have to be covered. This was on convection bake a few degrees below where we typically set our old oven. Perhaps it should have been lower still. The old oven was not convection so not much experience there. My overall impression as to appearance, fit and finish remain good. The oven vents out the back left of the range top surface. It is fan driven and the noise is very noticeable. The sudden blower noise may just have been a surprise since our old electric oven vent didn't use a fan. The burner grids are nice and heavy though not as heavy as some of the other mid price ranges I saw. They do provide a continuous surface for sliding pots around. I like the big top burner control knobs and the up front control panel that doesn't stick way out as on some slide in models. Looking forward to getting the gas hooked up. Love the looks of the big front right duel heat 22000 BTU burner.

Just moved into a home with a Verona oven. Have the owners manual but not answering specific questions... maybe someone here can? I purchased an internal oven thermometer since the Verona doesn’t have a digital temp readout. So that has helped... can anyone tell me which setting they use for baking? bake, conv bake, fan oven,? and which rack do you bake on? I’m doing ok with cooking...it’s just the baking (which is more precise) any helpful hints/tips are much appreciated! Thank you!

Mike- we just got the flex duo (electric glass top so not exactly the same) and are concerned with how hot the top of the door gets (behind handle). It vents there - this is my first convection and I'm wondering if it is normal for the exterior to get that hot. Samsung has been useless, all they do is quote from the manual. HD thinks our door isn't insulated and has offered to replace it but I suspect it is this split door. I've closely inspected them in other showrooms and ours looks and feels like all the others. Are you able to touch the top of the door frame when the oven(s) are over 400?

btdrl, I turned both ovens on to 420 and let it run for 45 minutes. There was no where that was hot on the doors. Slightly warm on the sides but very cool elsewhere. My slide in has the vent on the rear of the stove. When you mentioned yours vented out the front I looked closely at mine. There are vent slots across the top and. bottom of the upper door but those just allow the rear powered vent to pull air up through those openings keeping the outside of the doors cool. Do you have a powered vent on your model? I don't think my doors are insulated but depend on the powered vent to keep things cool. Mine is quite loud and pulls a lot of air.

An update - Home Depot replaced it for us certain there was an insulation problem but the new one has the exact same problem. The top frame behind the handle of the upper door and edge of glass cooktop get VERY hot when the ovens are over 400 (only with upper or both on). The gas top must be designed differently or the knobs would be too hot to touch when the ovens are on. I've never had an oven like this and it is strange that Samsung doesn't acknowledge it. We like the features and can live with problem but I am afraid the split door design is causing this and hopefully will not give us other problems. I'm trying to find a surface thermometer to get a reading of the exterior.

I am considering this double oven range to elimate the little oven I keep on my counter. Any further updates on this? This range gets good reviews online but the responses here on GW have me second-guessing this.

I can only say that after 6 months the upper oven is only useful if your going to broil. Better to get a real double oven range if you need two.
