Dacor
A California company now part of Samsung's luxury group, Dacor builds cooking and refrigeration around connected controls and a handleless, push-to-open look on its flush models.
What Dacor makes
Dacor spans cooking and cold in two design families, the lighter Contemporary and the darker Modernist. Its ranges come in dual-fuel and gas, joined by rangetops and cooktops for split installations. Wall ovens add steam-assist cooking and a flush, handleless face that opens at a touch. On the cold side, Dacor builds built-in column refrigerators and freezers, panel-ready or stainless, along with dedicated wine cellars that hold multiple temperature zones for a working collection. Ventilation hoods and dishwashers round out a suite that can be matched across a kitchen. Connectivity runs through the line by way of the brand's app, which handles preheat, monitoring, and recipe guidance. Since joining Samsung in 2016, Dacor has kept its own design identity while drawing on that group's engineering.

What the cooking adds
The feature Dacor leans on is Four-Part Pure Convection in its ovens. Where a standard convection oven uses one fan and element, this system adds multiple fans and heating paths so air moves through the cavity from more directions, which evens out temperature across several racks and supports full-oven baking. Steam-assist introduces moisture during cooking to keep roasts and bread from drying, and on the flush Modernist ovens a push-to-open door lets a handleless face still open with full hands. The wine cellars carry the same care on the cold side, with separate zones and vibration control to hold a collection steady. Connected controls tie it together, letting a cook start, watch, and adjust the oven remotely.
