Samsung Induction Cooktop - Absolutely Marvelous

Best induction cooktop I have ever owned. It took a couple months for it to arrive. Installation was simple, replacing a 8 year old GE Profile electric cooktop. No issues with the fit and 50a breaker is sufficient. Boils water in seconds!!! I like the simmer and melt functions as well.

This is my 2nd induction cooktop. 1st one was a GE was fine till I broke the top. This new one has all the bells and whistles and works really well. I like the WIFI feature. Definitely an upgrade with the new technology.

Cook top way to sensitive. Any water on it gives it a mind of its own. It does heat up quickly. Always dirty.

Over all very happy. The heat setting when trying to adjust is very slow to change. It’s like it thinking about it before it dose it.

Had to replace 30 yr old elec cooktop. Very happy. Clean surface and spill don't "cook" on it either, Short learning curve and away we go...

Seriously regret going with an electric cooktop. The dial is so unresponsive, 50 percent of the time it goes up by itself two notches after you've stopped at a desired temperature, sometimes down three so it takes 3 times as long to set the temperature you want. During Thanksgiving we had a ton of food we kept in tray and we wanted to keep, well dont forget this cooktop will NOT turn on unless it detects a pan/pot its compatible with. For looks was nice but im seriously thinking about installing a gas cooktop. I read the reviews and i still fell for it.

Be aware that while says on site in questions and answers can install with 40 amp circuit and 8 gauge wire in reality needs 50 amp circuit and 6 gauge wire. Had to hire electrician FOR $$$ to run new line and install 50 amp circuit breaker. Best Buy was not helpful at all and said what was on their site regarding the amps and wire gauge was not their responsibility although no disclaimer regarding this on the site. I was stuck as took out old cook top before this one was delivered. Cook top works great now that have proper wiring.
