Induction range advice; Dacor or Samsung?

11 years ago

Old stove broke drown, need to do a replacement range.

Looking at the Samsung induction Chef 30 inch slide in. Like the look, seems to have some bells n whistles others don't have. Worried about reliability and more focus on flash than substance.


The other is a clearance Dacor induction slide in. like the idea of a better warranty, yet not a fan of the burner set up or less usable space than the Samsung. Tried to find decent reviews, but only seeing mixed reviews of the Dacor brand.

Would love the Miele induction, but it's going to be over $10,000 here which is a bit ridiculous.


Any advice by people who have used either would be great. Looking for reliability and day to day function and useability foremost

    Concern with all of those three choices: they only have ten settings for burner heat. That really limits usability for many, particularly for the lower range of heat settings. Ten settings is common with the less expensive portable induction cooktops and a source of much adverse commentary.

    I'm trying to recall if I've seen any posts about owning the Samsung slide-in but I'm drawing a blanck. IIRC, nobody here has posted about the Dacor models, either. So, no help suggesting any past threads. Sorry.

    We'll just have to wait to see if somebody new has anything to say.

    I too am looking very closely at the Samsung Induction Slide-in Range (w/Flex-Duo Oven). We would be guinea pigs as reviews for it are scarce. It isn't available to touch at any appliance stores in the Philly area. Induction slide-in's with two ovens are a tough find.

    I looked at the Samsung and decided to go with the Bosch induction. It is being delivered tomorrow.

    Not what you asked but I have an Electrolux induction slide in, had it about 3 years. Love it.

    Went for the Bosch slide in as well Cfillyaw. To many bad reports of Samsung as a whole, even though we have a low end refrigerator by them that does the job. Looking forward to trying it out. Hope goes well for you

    Bosch range was delivered today. Looks great, but only tested to see if a pan heated up.

    Recently got to see a Bosch in person, as it were, and found it to be a pretty interesting range.

    There were a couple of things that kind-of, sort-of left me with questions because the stove wasn't hooked up. One of them is a kind of COFS thing (that's chronic old fart syndrome). I hadn't thought of this until I actually saw the range in person. Being a COF, I remember back in the 80s when my aunt first got her early induction range, that there were problems if you spilled anything near the the stovetop touchpad and potentially big issues if you took something out of the oven and set it on the stovetop. It prejudiced me against stove-top touch-pad burner controls. There's that COFS again :>)

    Anyway, after you've used the stove for a while, I'm sure others would be interested in getting your views on how vulnerable (or invulnerable) that Bosch's stove-top burner touch-pad is. (Maybe Dancingqueen will chime in on this as she's had her Bosch since last summer.)

    First cook with the bosch was sausage and eggs for breakfast on a cast iron skillet. What was amazing is the sausage starting sizzling immediately. The touch screen for the stove top is a little bit slower than just twisting a knob to a desired setting.
