Samsung 36" Smart Induction Cooktop in Stainless Steel

This cooktop came with the house I bought. I bought new induction pots and pans to go with it. The first thing I noticed was that it boils water in record time. However I found a few issues that can't really be fixed because it just the nature of the cooktop. One thing is that if you get even a little bit of water or oil on the controls, the controls get a mind of their own and either change the temp on its own or it will just shut off. So if you are boiling water make sure to have towel handy to keep the cook top clean. The second thing is the controls themselves are hard to work. As I drag my finger to increase the temperature, it is hard to get it in the exact number you want. When you let go it will go up or down one notch and you have to try to get it back to the temp you want which is sometimes difficult. If you are someone who likes to make candy, stay far away from this cooktop. I make toffee around the holidays and this is the only cooktop ive used where it separates at higher temperatures. I think the induction causes the temperature to heat up too fast. Never had this problem with electric or gas stoves. The last thing I noticed is if the pan is slightly off from the magnetic circles, the cooktop will just shut off. I really hope this cooktop breaks soon so I can get an electric one.

induction cooking is great. cooktop doesn't get hot except for heat transferred back from the pan. heating is quick. however, samsung controls are awful! magnet knob is useless, touch controls will not respond to wife's finger touch, water drops from lifting a lid can either shut it off or change temp setting to high. title says it all!

Great looking stove, super quick when boiling water. Very easy to clean vs a gas stove. Controls are a little finicky but you get used to them. Automation when linked with the exhaust fan its neat.

this cooktop broke after 2 years. they sent out 2 companies as a “1 time acommodation” both were terrible and had no clue what they were doing. after 3+ months and them approving an exhchage 4x, i still do not have a cooktop. its a contiounous circle of horrible customer service. ive been told the exchange is coming for months now and everytime i check up they say they cant do it and try to give me some ridiculous prorated refund. my kitch was designed around this samsung package and ive had issues with 3 out of 4 of my appliances in the first i would never recommend any of these products to anyome and pray that no one will ever have to go through this process that i have. dont ever buy this product or any of these appliances! i promise you will be dissappointed. 10k package of junk!

induction great; buttons = extremely poor design and very difficult to use, making the experience using this stove not plesant at all. if your fingers arent completely dry or a little liquid splashes on tbe dials- the stove can change the temperature on its own or just short circuit and reset in the middle of cooking. had for 6 months - wanted to see if maybe it just took some adjustment on the way we cook, but it regularly continues to be a problem.
