Samsung - 36" Built-In Gas Cooktop with WiFi and Dual Power Brass Burner - Black Stainless Steel

I recently installed the Samsung 36" Built-In Gas Cooktop in my kitchen, and overall, it’s been a great addition. The cooktop has a sleek, modern design, and the black stainless steel finish complements other appliances beautifully. The dual power brass burner offers excellent power, making it easy to quickly heat large pots or delicately simmer sauces. WiFi connectivity is a surprising feature for a cooktop, but it allows for remote monitoring, adding peace of mind when multitasking around the kitchen. Performance-wise, the burners are responsive, and the continuous grates provide stable support for pots and pans. The controls are intuitive, and the overall experience has been satisfying. However, I have encountered some issues. Within the first six months, I noticed the color on the control panel began to fade, detracting from its visual appeal. Despite purchasing 5 year extended warranty, Samsung and Geeks squad customer service advised that cosmetic damages like fading are not covered. This limitation in warranty coverage, especially for a product in this price range, makes it a bit of a questionable purchase. If you value style and powerful functionality, the cooktop will likely meet your expectations, but keep warranty limitations in mind, especially concerning cosmetic durability.

This cooktop has great power. The large center burner has the capacity of 22,000 BTU. Other burners also have decent cooking power. It cooks food fast and tasty. It also comes with a wok crate which is extremely useful for Chinese food cooking with a wok. I connected it to the Internet and can tell which burner is in use. It is a useful feature in case I forget whether the burner has been turned off or not. I have not tried the blue tooth function with this cooktop yet as I do not have a matching Samsung range hood to work with the cook top. I took one start off because the stainless steel is easily get scratched even I use paper towels. Otherwise, it will be a perfect cooktop.

We recently remodeled our kitchen and selected this model due to high ratings from Consumer Reports and Best Buy.com. It has met and exceeded all our expectations. Sleek look (blue LED very cool), flawless ignition, power burner delivers high heat, simmer burners are true simmer, overall nice selection of heats from very low to super hot, super easy to clean up. Couldn’t ask for more.
