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

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.

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.

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.

Produces solid heat. Make sure that it lights with the pilot on “lite” and then adjust the heat level. Nice looking as well with the main brass burner. Not difficult to clean although somewhat confusing to reassemble after cleaning. Big issue is that we can barely fit two good sized pots on either side where there are double burners. The designers could have built this cooktop with more surface area for pots. Also, the middle, main burner is very large for boiling big pots, front right burner is medium sized, the other 3 burners are small. It could use another medium sized burner.

Very happy with this purchase. Center burner so strong and it boils up a large pot of water very quick. Simmer burner in the far back works nicely for small sauce pan and it keeps foods evenly warm. Haven't used the pancake grill yet so I need more time to experience. Two burners on the left side are great for everyday uses. This is my very first time buying the Samsung as most my home appliances are LG Bosch KitchenAid and Whirlpool but so far it works great and I am looking forward to investing more time to learn and enjoy the cooktop. I am looking at a gas washer/dryer set from Samsung for the near future.
