Excessive power consumption

I recently installed the 30 inch Samsung induction cooktop. After about a month, I noticed that my electric bill went up about 50.00 and also for the next month. I called the electric company and another electrician and they both came to my house to check it out. They put a consumption meter on my electrical panel and went through every circuit to determine which circuit was causing the excess current draw on my system. The final conclusion was the Samsung induction cooktop was using 700 amps of electricity when everything was off. When they turned the breaker off for the cooktop everything went back to normal and when they turned it back on, the 700 amp spike came back. 700 amps per hour multiplied by 24 hr is 16,800 amps per day. 16,800 amps per day multiplied by 30 days is 504,000 amps per month. Each kilowatt hour is equal to 1000 amps, so my consumption is 504 kilowatt hours per month just to keep the cooktop powered on with out using any of the burners. Each kilowatt hour cost .09 cents each and multiplied by 504 equals $45.36 per month just to keep power to the cooktop. I called Samsung to get their response and this is what they said: If everything on the stove works as it should, then it is not their problem and I will just have to live with the 45.36 per month or turn the breaker off and only turn it on when we want to use the cooktop.

This stovetop is great. We had the Samsung induction range at our last house and knew it was just a matter of time before we went back for the cooktop version. Very happy with the purchase.

Excellent Cook Top

I'm incredibly happy! This is a beautiful cook top that has made cooking fun again.
It has all of the benefits of induction (fast and consistent heating, energy efficiency, etc.) with an intuitive and easy to use interface. Part of that interface are the blue LEDs that simulate a flame under each "burner".
The flex zone works well with griddles and I've already cooked burgers, mushrooms, and pancakes with it with much greater success than on my old electric cooktop.
Induction has its pros and cons but I feel like it suits my lifestyle well.
If there were any minor nits to pick I'd say the included magnetic knob isn't as precise as I'd like it to be but it is a very minor issue and doesn't detract from the unit's usability at all.
I've read the other complaints about this model being sensitive to drips etc. but I haven't experienced this yet and I've actually tried to trigger it myself. Maybe Samsung fixed that problem?
Either way, I'm really happy with this cook top and I highly recommend it.

I don't normally write reviews but I have to voice out my frustration, disgust and complete lack of confidence from Samsung. I paid more than $2,000 for this supposedly amazing appliance but after 2 years only it stopped working. The repair service guy said that I have to pay about $1000 to fix it. 2 years lifespan for an expensive induction cooktop is a big scam. I will never buy a samsung appliance again...

Great cooktop and I can use my oblong bake pan on the double burner to cook large quantities like chicken cutlets, etc. Also the handles of my pans do not get hot!

I am a huge fan. Love the control. You get the heat control of gas (which is what all chefs prefer) with the cleanup and convenience of a radiant/electric. Win/win! One of the coolest things about this is the magnetic/removable control dial. (which is it's one ding, too) Once the dial is removed, you cannot control the temp, but can still turn it on. No issue with that, but the temp control with the magnetic dial is a little touchy and hit or miss. Might want to increase the temp from 6 to 7 and then it jumps to 12. Needs more work to get it right and more accurate. I wish I could give it 4.9 stars for the controller, but it is better than a 4, so a 5 it is.

After using this induction for several months, I finally realized that the induction cooktop had been broken from the time of the installation. I really like the flexibility of the cook zones, just wish that I could actually cook something on the cooktop.

I never thought I wanted an induction stove but now I wouldn’t trade it. It heats up and cools down so quick which reminds me of the benefits of cooking with gas but none of the downfalls.

Bought it, got it installed 2 days ago. Used it this morning for the first time and when I cleaned it as I would with our previous induction cooktop, it errored because it got wet, and now it won't stop beeping and telling me to use the power button that doesn't work. Only way to reset it is to turn the breaker off and on again. Exchanged.

Great stove top. Love the features, especially at the price point. One thing that is disappointing is the included knob is basically useless but luckily not necessary.

Heat settings were very eractic. When you did achieve the setting and think things were ok you could walk away thinking it was ok and when you would go back the cooktop had turned itself off. Samsaug sent someone three time to change parts but the problem was still present. So we decided to switch to a gas cooktop and it woks great. Best Buy made the situation much better. And the cooktop is beautiful.Thanks Best Buy for you great customer service.

Stylish. Very different from just using a glasstop electric. Heats up very quickly. Comes with a little magnet in the box to check if your cookware is compatible.

Do not purchase! We bought this stovetop, had it put it, and it would not work! They came back and replaced the control board and wiring and it still did not work. We got a bad stovetop. Instead of having them replace this one, we went with a different brand.

The unit works well. The controls will change heat settings or t;urn the unit off if grease spatters on them, which it will do.
We are trying to find a way around this difficulty now.
