With its FTQ386LSWUX freestanding electric range, Samsung has ingeniously simplified the cleaning of a lightly soiled oven through the use of steam; to freshen up the oven, you simply add 10 ounces of tap water and wait 20 minutes, and voila -- you have a spotless interior. This is perfect for those who like to have everything pristine but hate waiting for an oven-cleaning cycle of 2 hours or more.

What's even more unusual is the fact that the FTQ386LSWUX is available at a relatively modest price, especially when you consider that most ranges with special features hover around the $2000 price range.

In addition to its novel cleaning system, you'll find that the FTQ386LSWUX includes excellent features such as a third-element convection oven and a warming drawer. On its surface, this unit includes both triple and dual elements and a 100-watt warming zone.

Special presets allow you to perform tasks -- like proofing bread -- without looking up the proper temperature. For those who often repeat the same cooking tasks, a custom setting allows you to program your most common temperature settings.

One-touch electronic controls make it easy to program the oven, while simple, accurate knobs are used to control the surface elements.

Offered in stainless and black, Samsung's FTQ386LWUX is unique, feature-rich and affordable enough to encourage innovation in practically every home.


Pros: Innovative steam cleaning feature, excellent price, third-element convection, warming zone, warming drawer, triple element, dual element
