Pros. It's fast to preheat, it looks smart, and it cooks pretty evenly. The telescopic arms are fab, but it's only on one set of rails. My fault entirely for making assumptions, but it seems a shame that you're limited.
Cons. The flipping musical tones that come on when you turn it on. I don't need 20 seconds of chiming to let me know the oven is on. It's utterly pointless, and very annoying. Ditto having bleeps for every button press. We've ended up silencing the whole thing.
The manuel is dire, and Samsung were close to zero help when asking simple questions. It took them a month to advise me that the lack of backlight on the display panel is intentional. This is by far my biggest irritation. To set the timer, temperature, turn on the oven light etc, you have to try and find the right icon, which has handily been done as mid grey on a black background. Seriously, whoever designed it this way should find another job. 9 months in I'm still annoyed *every *single *time I use the oven. £200 ovens have back lights, why did they look at this and think 'yeah, you have to bend to get the oven to eye level and study the panel to work out what's where every time you use it, I'd say our job is done'?!
Another little niggle is that the clock seems to lose time. We've had to change the time about every 6 weeks since getting it as it's dropped a minute or two. Very odd.
Lastly, there seems to be an odd feature where the racks slide in most of the way, but then you have to lift them over a lip for the last inch or so, they don't just slide straight in. I don't know how many times we've tried to shut the door and realised the rack is still slightly out, and has to be lifted up and over the lip. Not great when you have sloppy items in the oven.
Our last oven was an older, cheaper, version of the same type of oven, and honestly, aside from not having telescopic arms, I preferred it immensely.
