If you want to remodel your kitchen, a new electric range is a great way to unify the room. Modern ranges like the Samsung NE59J7630 series have a sleek look and tons of features. This range is a feature-rich, heavy electric range with both steam and heated self-cleaning modes, dual and triple expandable burners, and two convenience settings for frozen foods. Its capacity is only slightly above average size and has limited depth when compared with other ovens in our lineup. If you're remodeling, this electric range comes in four colors to match the rest of your appliances and kitchen, including fingerprint-resistant black, stainless steel, black and white.

Stovetop Features

This Samsung model’s cooktop is made of a sleek ceramic glass. There are two expandable elements on this electric stovetop. The left front burner is a dual element that expands from 6 to 9 inches while a triple element on the right expands between 6, 9 and 12 inches. The dual element has slightly more power – 3,300 watts – and the triple element maxes out at 3,000. The other three elements include two 6-inch, 12,000-watt burners and a 7-inch, 100-watt warm zone burner

Oven Features

The electric oven in this model measures 5.9 cubic feet. It has enough room to fit large pots and casserole pans. However, this oven isn't as deep as many models of comparable capacity. It’s only 25 31/32 inches deep. In contrast, the LG LRE3193 has a depth of 29 1/4 inches and the largest overall capacity of 6.3 cubic feet. To help manage this space, it has two oven racks that can be arranged in five different positions within the oven.

The narrower depth of the Samsung may have advantages when it comes to convection cooking, however. Its convection functionality is one of its best features. Convection fans circulate hot air throughout the oven chamber to cook food more evenly than ovens without this feature. This approach to baking isn't just for bread or cookies. You can cook just about anything faster and more thoroughly using this method. In the case of this Samsung model, the narrower depth intensifies the effect of the convection fan.

Conveniences

This Samsung has all the user conveniences common in the best electric ranges. It has the standard features like a digital clock, timer, heat indicator lights, knobs and touch controls. For all the standard features, this Samsung model has a couple useful surprises available.

On the control panel, there are two convenience settings. Similar to a popcorn button on a microwave, this model has controls that set the oven to the optimum temperature for pizza and chicken nuggets. Simply press the button to set the oven to preheat to 400 degrees Fahrenheit for pizza. The temperature and time are adjustable to fit the oven settings to what you need.

One of the best features found in this electric oven is its dual cleaning capability. It can tackle light and heavy soils inside the oven chamber with a steam and heat clean cycle. We recommend regularly running the steam clean cycle for lighter regular soils and the heat clean only occasionally when needed.

Warranty & Support

The electric range is the centerpiece of most kitchens. The more you use any appliance, the more you need to maintain it. The Samsung NE59J7630 stays under warranty for a full year after purchase. If you have questions about this kitchen range, the Samsung website is the best place to start. On this model's description page, you can find links to downloadable copies of the user guide, warranty guide and product-specific FAQs. If you still need assistance, you can find contact information to reach Samsung via phone, email, live chat and even live video chat.

Summary

The stovetop is home to dual and triple expandable burners that extend from 6 to 12 inches and will facilitate pans of varying sizes, and the cooktop and oven pack serious cooking power. The broiler element produces up to 3,800 watts for fast heating. Although the oven chamber is shallow, it can hold 5.9 cubic feet of food inside, which is above average. To keep it clean, this Samsung model has multiple features that make cleaning easy. You can choose the short steam clean or the intense heat clean to rid your oven of tough baked-on messes. This Samsung model is one of the best electric ranges if you want a powerful, feature-rich kitchen range.
