Samsung - 36" Electric Cooktop with WiFi and Rapid Boil - Stainless Steel

This is an attractive cooktop with five burners. The stainless steel trim complements my stainless steel appliances. You will want to read the instructions for use and care, as there are specific limitations relative to type of pan, size of pan, and the cleaning process. As with any new cooktop, it takes time to perfect technique. The cream cleaner recommended is necessary for heavier residue, but its successful use is tedious. I recommend Weiman Cooktop Daily Cleaner for less intense cleaning.

For the price and time time to delivery this was an incredible purchase

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.

Nice design Very good price Excellent Easy for use

Great sleek design but inevitably filthy. Cleaning this is pretty tedious but it is doing what is intended for and that’s cooking!
