I purchased the 5.9 cu. ft. Freestanding Electric Range with Flex Duo™ model NE59M6850SS. This is an Electric Cook Top stove with a Flex Duo™ oven with dual door. It has a removable divider that converts one oven into two. It also has a Wi-Fi Connectivity feature that can be used with other appliances in the home or with the SmartThings app by Samsung.
This is a glass top stove has 4 burners and a warmer. The two front burns have dual sized heating areas to use depending on the size of the pan. The back two burners are smaller size. The warming section is in the middle for ease of use. The controls knobs are clearly marked on what burner each operates. The clock is easy to set. The oven has a soft close door feature. It has a standard handle that will open to the full oven. Inside is the divider to make two ovens. The handle has a lever and when engaged, it will only open the top half of the oven. Very neat.
In observing the oven/range, I noticed that the top oven is only convection bake where the bottom oven has the option to use conviction or bake. The full oven can be used as either. Having the ability to use two ovens is great when cooking a large meal that needs different temperature settings. It is also great for every day use when your french fries need to be baked at a different temperature than your nuggets.
After using my oven for a few weeks, I have found the best way to bake pizza is to use the full oven. When I used the top or the bottom, it seemed that the back would get more done than the front so I would have to turn it. Full oven, works great, even baking!
When exploring the oven and testing to try the dehydrate setting. I pressed the button and it begin to blank indicating that the top and the bottom oven is still two separate ovens, I opened the door and took the middle section out and noted that there are sensors that tell when the divider is in place. The screen then showed one full oven. It now told me that I was able to use this function to dehydrate food. Full oven =dehydrater. I dehydrated some apples and it worked amazing! I could hear the oven run but it was not so bothersome as a stand alone dehydrater. I was very impressed with how this work. I think this is my favorite feature that will be used a lot in our home.
Another feature of the oven which is nice but I have not had a chance to use is the extra-large burner on the right front. Most skillet will fit in the large inter-burner. The outer larger burner would be great for stock pot cooking.
The wi-fi connectivity took me by surprise. I am not currently using the Smart things ap however, I do have a smart Samsung TV. One day, while I was heating the oven, I was watching TV. When the oven got to temperature, I had a notification box show up in the upper right corner of my TV telling me the oven was preheated. While my house is on one level, I can see how this would be of benefit to those that have multiple floor homes.
There are many other features to the oven that I have yet to explore. One other worth noting is that this Samsung Flex Duo range has a steam clean feature for the oven. You add a cup of water in the bottom, hit the button, and let it do its thing. Once it is done, you wipe it out! Super easy cleaning.
Overall, I am glad I made this purchase. It is a convection oven that can do two things at once, is easy to use, has great features, and looks very sharp in my kitchen.
