Questions and answers
- Which has the bigger oven?
- The Samsung lists 5.1 cu. ft. total against the Thor's 4.8 cu. ft. lower oven plus 1.9 cu. ft. microwave. The Samsung's Flex Duo divider lets you run two temperatures at once.
- Which is better for air frying?
- The Thor. It has built-in air fry with true convection and ships with an air fry basket. Samsung does not list air fry on this model.
- Which is more reliable by owner ratings?
- The Thor, at 4.8 from 401 ratings versus 3.9 from 78 for the Samsung. Ratings are not a guarantee, but the gap is wide.
- Do I need a special circuit?
- The Thor needs a dedicated 40A circuit at 208/240V. The Samsung lists 240V. Plan the electrical work before delivery for either.
- Is the Samsung worth it over the Thor?
- Only if smart controls and the Flex Duo split oven matter more to you than air fry and the higher rating. Check live prices at each store before deciding.
