Introduction

For an MSRP of $1,599 (or a sale price of $1,300), the Samsung FX710BGS is a standard-looking stainless steel freestanding range. This oven is a speed machine. With some of the finest boiling results we've seen on a gas rangtop as well as a stunningly quick six minute preheat to 350°F, this oven is great for people in a hurry. Unfortunately, there is a tradeoff, as the rest of our tests--oven temperature variance, broiler performance, and more--weren't that impressive.
