Samsung Ceramic Glass Cooktop replaced a 35 yr old JennAir coil unit. The new cooktop is beautiful and pretty easy to clean with cooktop polish. I really like the digital controls but they don't always respond on first touch. However the magnet dial is not very useful (as others have said the temp setting jumps around strangely when using the magnetic knob). I don't understand why each burner goes from 1 to 15. So if you want the burner at 60% power, you have to do some mental math to know that's level 9. Using a 1-10 or 1-20 scale would be much easier. The flat glass cooktop is slow to heat up. I know this is likely true with all glass cooktops, but it takes some getting used to vs. the older coil burners. So I have tended to turn up the temp too high while waiting, and then end up burning the food easily. You have to adjust and be patient for the surface to heat the pan. I am still adjusting after 1.5 months. It will come. The timer is so quiet, you can barely hear it when standing right at the cooktop. So it's pretty much useless, but that's a minor flaw. The digital controls work well, but not always on the first touch. It takes some getting used to as well, and a setting scale of 1-15 is just plain odd. The wifi feature is truly useless on this cooktop. You can set the timer and view if each burner is on or off, but that's it there is no way to control the cooktop burners. Even if you are really concerned you left on the cooktop burner, and you've left the house, you can't do anything about it remotely. I see no purpose in the wifi feature, and seems to have been included as a gimic to make it seem more modern and cool. Truely useless.

Purchased this to replace an Electrolux Hybrid Cooktop that crapped out on me. The burners heat up quick and is very easy to operate. I however thought that with the WiFi Smart Connect that I would be able to control some features on the cooktop. It seems you can only view on your phone or tablet, not change the timer or adjust the temperature. Still looking into the app to see if its operator error. Overall good product for the money.
