Beautiful High Tech Oven
Submitted by hatchna -
This oven is a dream. It works so well, and has so many useful features. I love that it has a bread proofing setting, which we used with great success. The steam function is essential for getting the perfect crust on homemade French bread. It's beautiful, the display is nice and informative. There's very little to not like about this oven.
Pros
-Beautiful black stainless steel finish
-Large touchscreen shows a lot of information, and looks really good.
-Easy to set up, thanks to the screen and menu system.
-Oven lights are fantastic. With the 2 halogen down shining lights, and the LED door lights, you get a lot of illumination when needed.
-Nice big viewing windows.
-Oven preheats much more quickly than the oven it replaced.
-Flex Duo is quite innovative and allows you to cook 3 dishes at 3 different temperatures with the top oven split, and the using the lower oven separately.
-Lots of baking settings. Love having the dual convection in both ovens.
-The main gliding oven rack is game changing. So nice to have that. Makes taking things out of the oven so much simpler than a standard rack.
-I love the blue LED's on the knobs, and how there's a light that shines on what oven setting you're on, so you can easily tell what setting the oven is set to.
-Samsung listened to owners, and recently updated the firmware, adding an "Always-on" option for the display clock. This is a wonderfully welcome addition, and in my opinion adds an additional touch of class to the already classy oven.
-Even when not set to Smart Cook, the Smartthings app allows you to turn the oven off, which is nice in the event that the oven is left on by mistake.
-Soft close oven doors are fantastic and keep the doors from being slammed closed by accident.
Cons
-Smartthings was a pain to set up. This actually wasn't a fault of the oven, but the version of the Samsung Smarthings Android app. No matter what, the app would not connect to the oven to set it up for app control. After hours of troubleshooting and trying multiple devices to connect it, I installed an older version of the Smartthings app, and it connected immediately.
-Even at full volume, the oven alarms are rather quiet. It can make hearing the preheat complete alert, or kitchen timers difficult. It would be nice if they were a tad bit louder.
-On rare occasion, the display interface has become a bit sluggish, changing between upper and lower oven, changing cooking modes, or opening settings. Most of the time it's fine though.
