Samsung Electronics today announced its new Slide-in Ranges¹ and Over-the-Range Microwave² with Air Fry Max, bringing together advanced cooking technologies, premium design and connected experiences to elevate everyday cooking. Available in both electric and gas options, the new Samsung Slide-in Ranges are designed to help consumers prepare healthier meals,³ achieve consistent cooking results and create a more refined kitchen environment.

“Consumers today are looking for kitchen appliances that both make cooking easier and complement the way they live and entertain at home,” said Hyoung Min Park, VP and Head of Customer Experience Team for the Digital Appliances (DA) Business at Samsung Electronics. “Whether preparing a quick weekday meal or cooking for family and guests, Samsung’s new Slide-in Ranges and Over-the-Range Microwave with Air Fry Max elevate cooking and make the entire process more seamless.”

Crispy, Healthier Cooking Achieved With Greater Ease

The new Slide-in Ranges make it easier to prepare crispy, delicious meals with less effort — thanks to Air Fry Max. Designed to deliver crisp, golden results in less time⁴ without preheating, Air Fry Max helps consumers prepare everyday meals with ease. High temperatures and powerful convection fans deliver the crunch and taste consumers love while also helping to reduce cooking time.

Additionally, the ranges feature True Convection for faster, more even baking and Air Sous Vide,⁵ which uses precise heat and airflow to help lock in flavor and moisture for gourmet cooking results at home.

To accommodate different cooking preferences, Samsung is introducing both electric and gas models of the Slide-in Range. The electric ranges feature a 3.6 kW Express Boil cooktop with dual-ring elements that help accommodate a variety of cookware sizes, while the gas models come with a powerful 23 K BTU Dual Power Burner that delivers fast, high-heat cooking for tasks such as sautéing, searing and boiling.

A More Cohesive Kitchen Aesthetic

The new Slide-in Ranges combine premium design details with intuitive usability. Featuring the same handle design found on Samsung’s 2026 refrigerator lineup, they help create a cohesive, unified aesthetic throughout the kitchen.

Additionally, Illuminated Precision Knobs for Slide-in Ranges provide clear visual feedback by lighting up when the cooktop is in use, helping consumers instantly see when the cooktop is on. The built-in display is designed to be intuitive and user-friendly, as well, making it easier to view and adjust cooking settings. This results in enhanced usability in the kitchen.

Samsung also brings a premium touch to everyday interactions through its Soft Close Door for Slide-in Ranges. This feature allows the door to close smoothly and quietly, offering a seamless and refined experience in the kitchen. Whether users push the door shut with a foot or close it firmly with one hand, the mechanism softly catches the door and guides it shut. The functionality provided by Soft Close Door is similar to soft-close features found in premium automobiles, bringing elegance and ease to users while they cook.

More Efficient Cooking With Appliances Designed To Work Together

Samsung’s new Over-the-Range Microwave with Air Fry Max is designed to complement the Slide-in Ranges both functionally and aesthetically.

With Air Fry Max available on both the microwave and the ranges, consumers can prepare larger meals or cook multiple air-fried dishes at once. The feature delivers crispy, healthier results up to 15% faster,⁶ while Convection Cooking circulates heat to maintain a consistent temperature throughout the cavity, which helps cook meals faster⁷ and more evenly.

The Slide-in Range and Over-the-Range Microwave also work together through Auto Connectivity,⁸ which wirelessly syncs the two appliances for an intuitive and convenient cooking experience. When the cooktop is turned on, for example, the Microwave automatically activates its light and ventilation hood. This helps improve visibility and airflow while reducing the need for manual adjustments.

Furthermore, the Over-the-Range Microwave features a slanted, ergonomic design that provides clear visibility to the cooktop while seamlessly blending in with the rest of the kitchen.

Staying Connected To Cooking With SmartThings

Both the Slide-in Ranges and Over-the-Range Microwave can be connected through SmartThings.⁹ This allows consumers to conveniently control, monitor and manage these appliances from their smartphone or with a voice assistant¹⁰ — while also helping them discover recipes¹¹ and plan meals more easily¹² using SmartThings Food.

New Slide-in Ranges with Intelligent Controls  

In just a few short years, Samsung has become a leader in cooking innovation in the U.S.² by pushing the boundaries of what’s possible, introducing innovative new technologies, and offering design and performance solutions that make the time people spend in the kitchen more efficient.

Samsung is making further progress in time efficiency with a new lineup of slide-in ranges that make cooking more convenient. The new ranges offer a reimagined user experience that simplifies your cooking and brings out your full potential as a home chef. Certain models of the slide-in ranges can be controlled with popular voice assistants, which you can instruct to preheat the oven while you’re mixing ingredients for a meal.³ The ranges also learn your preferences and cooking habits—the more you use it, the better it understands your needs. So, if you frequently set your oven to a certain temperature to bake your family’s favorite cookies, it will suggest that temperature first when you preheat your oven.

The slide-in ranges’ simple, clean lines and elegant design lends a built-in look to your kitchen, and its easy installation means you don’t have to go through a full remodeling project. In order to ensure it blends harmoniously with the rest of your kitchen décor, you can choose from black stainless, stainless, or the new Tuscan stainless models. And, with a redesigned control panel and minimal buttons, the slide-in ranges’ simple, intuitive interface presents only the information you need while cooking. Its fingerprint-resistant exterior is easy to keep clean, and its ergonomically designed knob gives you better grip and control.

The slide-in ranges offer you a healthier way to cook, with air frying capabilities, and the precision cooking that home chefs need. With up to 23K BTU Dual Power burners—the highest in the category—you have the versatility to quickly boil water or precisely melt chocolate at the desired temperature.

The slide-in ranges bring you the peace of mind that you would expect at home. Because they’re connected, you can remotely monitor and adjust cooking times or temperatures from your smartphone, even when you’re in the family room instead of the kitchen. The ranges also give you the ability to search for recipes through the SmartThings app and send your selected recipe’s cooking mode directly to your oven to streamline meal prep.

The slide-in range lineup offers an option for every family’s needs. The lineup includes gas, electric, induction, and dual fuel models, including Samsung’s FlexDuo feature, which allows you to choose between having one oven or two.

A Family Hub for Everyone

Samsung is leading the U.S. market as the #1 brand in refrigeration,⁴ and the Family Hub, which reimagined the form and function of the refrigerator, is the primary reason why. With every new generation of Family Hub, Samsung has introduced new innovations—and new models—that bring families closer together, simplify their meal planning, and give them more control over their smart homes.

Now, there is truly a Family Hub for everyone with the new stylish side-by-side refrigerator. Its modern form and premium built-in look—as well as its elegant flat doors, minimal dispenser, and recessed handles—blend seamlessly with your existing kitchen appliances and cabinetry. Whether you choose a black stainless or stainless model, it will come with a fingerprint-resistant finish that’s easy to keep clean.

Each model has a redesigned interior, with large capacity designed to fit more groceries. And those groceries will stay fresher for longer, because, with All-Around cooling technology, multiple vents throughout the interior keep food evenly cooled and fresh. And you’ll be able to see everything clearly, with bright LED lights that beautifully illuminate the interior of your refrigerator. Its high-capacity icemaker saves shelf space for your frozen items because of its minimal in-door design.

Family Hub brings families closer together and streamlines communication. It helps you create your own culture of sharing through the Family Board—a digital bulletin board where everyone can easily stick notes, photos, or videos they want to share on display. With View Inside, you can view what’s inside your fridge anywhere, anytime. Family Hub also offers enhanced Smart View, providing a more seamless screen mirroring experience from Galaxy phones and TVs, making it a source of endless entertainment in the kitchen. And with the SmartThings app, Family Hub becomes the remote control for your smart home—letting you instantly connect, monitor, and control all of your smart appliances and Works with SmartThings smart items, including multiple cameras at a single glance.

A New Standard of Personal Care with AirDresser

Samsung is setting new standards for personal care at home with an easy, convenient, all-in-one solution that helps you care for some of your most valuable investments—your clothing—and transforms a mundane chore into something you no longer have to worry about.

AirDresser uses steam technology to smooth out wrinkles, remove odors, and sanitize your clothes, so that they look and feel fresh—and are ready to wear—in just under 48 minutes. AirDresser can even send you alerts when your clothes are ready via the SmartThings app, and you can even remotely monitor, control, and download additional clothing care options through the app.

And because it doesn’t require a water line, AirDresser can fit into the spot that is most convenient for you, whether that’s your closet, your bedroom, or any other part of your home.

In the first half of the year, Samsung’s new side-by-side refrigerator—available in multiple models, including Family Hub—will be available at major retailers nationwide and online in the U.S, and AirDresser will be available on www.samsung.com. The new slide-in ranges will be available in the second half of the year.
