Frequently Asked Questions

  • 1. Are Samsung slide-in ranges better than Samsung freestanding ranges?

    Neither type of range is better. It comes down to what fits in your kitchen and budget. Samsung slide-in ranges are ideal as they’re a more social way to cook. Guests can cozy up to your island range and chat while you’re preparing a meal. Freestanding ranges are the more affordable and versatile option.

  • Before you retrofit a slide-in range with a freestanding model, it’s best to have a measuring tape on hand. Slide-in ranges are designed to fit snugly within custom spaces, whereas freestanding ranges usually have a small gap on either side. Most freestanding ranges are wider because of their finished sides, so you will probably have some kitchen adjustments to make before inserting the freestanding range.

  • Samsung slide-in ranges appear to fit seamlessly between cabinets, but they require some space behind them to function properly. Keep this in mind when you measure everything out. It’s a good idea to put a little backsplash behind it to protect the wall from spills and excessive heat.

  • No. Samsung slide-in ranges are designed and built to fit snugly in between cabinets. They don’t come with finished sides. If your Samsung slide-in range will have one side exposed then a freestanding range might suit the space better. That or build a little wall on the exposed side.

  • A backsplash will stand out if your Samsung slide-in range faces an open area. But if it’s up against a wall, a backsplash is recommended to protect your wall from the heat and cooking splatter.

  • Our Samsung slide-in ranges come in a variety of different sizes based on the model number. A standard Samsung range is 30 inches wide, but it’s always best to look at the manufacturing specifications first and then measure the available space where you want to install it.
