Samsung - 30" Electric Cooktop with WiFi - Stainless Steel

To be honest, I purchased this last year so this is the 1 week after 1 year review... Functionality, overall very good, the rear mid burner is STRONG. great for quick boil and large pans. The wireless is of zero use, does not control anything on the stove at all. Big gripe... the knobs. A pain to clean around, too close together, should be something magnetic or easily removable AND most important, be made of metal, not just look as if they are. DO NOT PLACE A WARM POT ON TOP OF THESE KNOBS to get away from heat or make space. they MELT and they cost close to $100. each from Samsung. that's $500 for a set of 5 on a $1000. stove. Mine was out of warranty by 3 days and they would not even discuss it. So really, the biggest grip is Samsung themselves, they are not the easiest company to deal with though their products are overall quite good. Their support is severely lacking and their opportunistic extortion is unforgivable. Might not seem like an issue... stove knobs. Who knew! I'm sick about it and deciding whether to buy anything Samsung ever again. (which is a fair bit)

I installed this cooktop 3 years ago and everything works great but the knobs are very poor quality. Currently 3 of them are broken because the base of the screws are made of plastic. That's not the worst, there is no generic part on the market to replace this and each original Samsung part costs $150. It's crazy to pay almost the same price of the product for the knobs.

This cooktop is everything i expected it to be. It's beautiful and just the right size for all the cooking I do for my family of 5. I'm thankful that I was able to purchase it at a great price. Thank you Best Buy for the best prices and excellent quality of appliance!!

Heats up quick and cooks very evenly. Definitely a step up from what was installed when we moved in. Wifey said that it’s a little tough to clean around the knobs, but they are removable. Don’t bother trying to connect to the WiFi feature…not worth the trouble IMO.

Quality of cooktop is fantastic. Heats pans up quickly, maintains consistent heat throughout. A much needed upgrade from previous cooktop. 4 stars due to one little nit - I wish the two lower cook stations were spaced down lower on the unit. On the left, I can fit two pots, but cannot fit two medium sized frying pans. Not an enormous problem and doesn't impact me 98% of the time.
