I'm glad you're pleased with your Samsung. One must be careful these days buying appliances or any other items having potential environmental impacts based on ratings from Consumer Reports. Consumer Reports has become very politically correct and will often rate inferior products very highly simply because they have minimal environmental impact. It's often more advisable to rely on the consumer reviews of the products rather than the CR reviews.
True.
also double checked those.
But it’s a really well-designed item. Each of the four burners is different, with the front right being just as powerful as the old Viking, and the rear right being able to go very very low. Convection, and a bread proofing cycle which I use a LOT.
The old Viking was kick-ass in its day, but cost a lot to get fixed when it broke, more than the Samsung did new lastly!
