    Good but subpar touch sensors

    It’s been 6 months since we got this cooktop to replace an old GE profile. On the good side: looks and design are great, it heats everything really fast, it’s very versatile with one very large burner and the square flex burner. On the not so good side: the beep alarm is not loud enough, the blue LED lights are not as fancy as the pics show, the flex burners are tricky to use and the timer is not easy to use. On the bad side: the touch sensors are not sensitive enough nor are they accurate enough and make it worse the magnetic knob is not any better. It’s a bit pricey compared to other induction cooktop.

    Induction Great, Touch Controls are Awful

    We have been this new house for 15 months and love the idea of Induction Cooking. The flexibility of this unit is commendable. The touch controls however are a constant problem. If something boils over, the controls go berserk. Burners may turn all the way up or turn off. Controls do not always respond, often my wife will have me come to adjust the temperature because it doesn't respond to her fingers. The magnetic knob is worthless. Also, if removing a lid and a drop us water lands near one of the controls, what was on simmer is suddenly at the highest heat setting. We did all Samsung, dbl oven, dishwasher, clothes washer & dryer. This cooktop is our only regret because the controls will not stay in control.

    Amazing cooktop

    Amazing induction cooktop. I was née to induction before this purchase but after some research I decided on the Samsung 36” and I am glad I did. Pros -Looks amazing -Blue lights are great to know which burners are on -heats pots/pans very quickly and evenly -many pot size options Cons - knob control can be sensitive but nothing that would stop me from recommending

    Modern gorgeous Samsung stovetop - 36” touchscreen

    Love this stovetop! It’s easy to use, and looks so good in our newly renovated kitchen. Heats up quickly and easy to clean. Be careful not to get too much water on it as it will turn off from it, clean only with stove top cleaners. Highly recommend! We almost got a smaller size and I’m so glad we stuck with the 36” as we have usually four items at least cooking at the same time. Great design!

    Surprisingly

    We are loving how quick it heats up water to boil. No joke around a minute for water to boil! Can’t get no faster. Very slick design and easy to use and pair with hood vent and to phone.
