Feb 22, 2020 04:55Just got. Unbelievable how fast water boils.
So far great product.

Oct 15, 2021 16:32Talk about state of the art technology...
This puppy does it all if paired with the pans that communicate with the cooktop.
Very impressed
Apr 23, 2021 18:19Nice cooktop, but the “stainless steel” designation is confusing since there’s no stainless steel visible anywhere when installed, and I don’t think the bottom is stainless.
Feb 07, 2020 22:30I like it so much it's the best cooktop I ever get it's what you deserve for your kitchen
May 28, 2021 16:24Fantansic alternative to traditional electric or gas cooktop. The precision of gas with the safety features that once you remove the cooking utensil it turns off quickly.
Jan 22, 2021 19:37Awesome item. Great service. Excited to use the cooktop
May 08, 2020 15:49We love the induction cooktop for its quick heating and precise temp control.
Oct 02, 2020 18:58Easy to use. Looks great in our newly remodeled kitchen.
Oct 21, 2020 17:17Viking RVEC345-6B - Ceramic cooktop - 5 hobs - Niche - width: 43.1 in - depth: 20 in - black - black/stainless steel
Love how it looks. Easy to cook. Gets hot quickly. Very easy to maintain.
Nov 06, 2020 20:30Major upgrade, This Viking looks amazing and works great. Lots of space and heats up quickly. Very pleased !
Nov 13, 2021 06:57Great cooktop. Order early...at least 3 months in advance to allow for delays in production/shipment to end customer
Apr 03, 2021 04:48Had a hard time finding a cook top to fit the existing counter cut out, this was a drop in and works great
Oct 12, 2018 15:53Quick in and out delivery. The delivery personnel were very polite and courteous.
Mar 25, 2021 08:12This cooktop replaces a 40 year old one - Glass top is easy to clean and very easy to operate - glad I purchased this model
Jun 23, 2018 05:29Just the best cooktop we have every had. The very large burner is nice.
Aug 26, 2020 08:00very happy with the viking cook top, works perfectly
Sep 18, 2020 16:02This induction cooktop offers precise temperature control and heats up more quickly. Energy transfers heat directly to cookware, turning it into the heat source, while the surface remains cool to the touch.

Works well. Heats up fast and is easy to clean with a flat surface.
Nov 02, 2021 19:46Really like this range, particularly the dual elements for large pots. Also like the control knobs being at the side.
Sep 18, 2020 16:08My wife loves a stove she can cook as many possible time she’s thinking about getting the oven to match it gorgeous gorgeous look about itself
Aug 21, 2019 22:25great look great service hopefully will last for years
Mar 23, 2019 13:20Cook meals easily with this Bosch Benchmark Series 30-inch induction cooktop. The flexible design lets you place cookware anywhere on the cooking zone for added convenience. This Bosch Benchmark Series 30-inch induction cooktop features PowerMove technology, so the power levels can be changed by simply moving the pot or pan.
I like this cooktop but there is a learning curve. I doubt I will even get around to using some of the features. The pluses with this cooktop are looks, safety, easy to clean, and less heat generated in the kitchen. The minuses are higher initial cost, high installation cost if a new 220 volt circuit is needed, appropriate cookware is needed, and potentially more complex to use along with unknown reliability and repair costs.
Nov 06, 2021 18:29Easy to use. Can fit all my pots and pans at the same time. Boils water in less than a minute. Has timers that are very convenient. The setup was easy.
Aug 13, 2021 16:38Really fast to heat, easy to use and beautiful design.
Apr 16, 2021 16:37Love the induction feature and love how sleek this looks.
Aug 04, 2020 15:06Bosch Electric Cooktop: Create delicious home-cooked meals with this cooktop, which features a 1200-2200W power range for variable cooking temperatures. Indicator lights let you know when an element is on.
This is an excellent cooktop. It heats up quickly, maintains a steady temperature and is easy to keep clean. Just be sure to wipe up any spills before you use the burner again. it is almost impossible to find a 24" cooktop. This is perfect and still gives you 4 burners.
Dec 14, 2016 15:41nice stovetop easy to clean and use works great! Love it!
Nov 16, 2020 05:12Great value for the quality. Well built and powerful
Oct 02, 2020 19:02This LG LCE3610SB 36" built-in electric cooktop features SmoothTouch controls to ensure simple operation. Triple- and double-size elements accommodate a variety of pan sizes for optimal heat distribution.
We bought the unit on 12/30/19 but finally got it installed by Best Buy this past Saturday on 1/18/20. We had an electrician install new 6/3 gauge wire and 50 amp breaker per installation guide to make sure there was no issues. Now after just a few days we could not turn off the unit. It became unresponsive while it was still on!!! I had to reset the unit by flipping the breaker off/on. The user guide has no troubleshooting for if the unit touch screen buttons do not respond. This is super disappointing after spending $2000 for the cooktop and electrician!! And off course now that it is installed it is showing in our BestBuy account that it is none returnable! Buyer beware! DO NOT BUY THIS PIECE OF JUNK!!!
Jan 21, 2020 05:16This is the second cooktop we have received… the first one was taken out by lightning in a storm in May 2021. This is an Excellent cooktop… this is why we got the same one. We love everything about this cooktop!
Oct 18, 2021 20:48We love the size of this cooktop and the ability to actually have 3 large pans on it at once. We could never put more than two large pans on the range cooktop and then could only use small pans for the other two burners. We were a little concerned with not having any actual controls knobs, but have grown to really love the touch control feature as well.
Dec 11, 2020 19:14Great cooktop. Also installers were great. Very friendsly
Aug 18, 2021 09:51Little confusing at first, but once I got the hang of it, I love it! Heats quickly and multiple burner sizes to pick from
Nov 30, 2020 11:55We have been cautiously learning all the do's and don'ts of a glass cooktop including cleaning procedures. We are happy but do not have any long experience to relate so far. Stay tuned.
Jul 27, 2019 07:33Love the color/how easy it is to use and clean up.
Sep 20, 2020 03:05Had to replace my kitchen aid and I love this LG. Delivery and Install was done very professionally
Oct 28, 2019 16:49Gourmet guided cooking with an appliance that looks, feels, and performs as if they were designed perfectly for you. The Monogram 36" Induction Cooktop has easy to use glide touch controls, four induction cooking elements, and precision cooking to allow you to acheive resturant quality results with the easy of home cooking.
The pan slides easily on the cooktop, so if you are using a spatula to flip if you aren’t also holding the pan handle you push the pan across the cooktop. (Like way more than a typical glass cook top)
May 28, 2021 17:49I am right in the middle of the Remodle so I don’t want to show it off. I do have to say I was prepared to take some drastic measures but Best Buy came through like a knight in shining armor.
Apr 09, 2021 22:16Purchased for our elderly mom. Works well and very safe
Apr 11, 2021 12:44The Frigidaire Gallery 30 in. Induction Cooktop offers you a whole new way to cook with four large, powerful induction elements. Get amazingly fast heat with Induction that boils water faster than a conventional electric cooktop. Whip up delicious meals with induction that delivers incredibly even heat across the surface of the pan so you get golden results every time. Don't stress over spills with induction's easy-to-clean surface that generates heat only to your pan, not your cooktop, meaning spills can't burn onto the surface.
I love this stove! I got it a sale price and I couldn’t be happier. I chose it begrudgingly as the one I really liked was not available until May (I got this in Feb), I’m glad I did! It functions really well and was priced way below other brands. I hope it lasts for a long time. It’s so easy to clean too.
Apr 05, 2021 16:53Frigidaire induction stove top was on sale when I bought it. It was nearly half off. So far the stovetop works like my old one which broke, hence the purchase of this one. The only thing really that annoy me is that you have to ouch the power button before any operations. Even the timer. I guess this is a safety thing.
Oct 26, 2020 18:25Clean looking unit, easy to use controls. Best Buy install team was pretty much useless on this, couldn't complete install due to it being the "wrong size", which involved adding a 1/2" wood strip on my part. Good product, hapless install team.
Nov 03, 2021 13:07Great product. This is exactly what I was looking for with induction cooking
Jun 25, 2021 15:54I’m in love with this stove! It cooks so fast! I just wish it was a little bigger.
Jul 15, 2020 17:29I received the the cook top via Best Buy delivery and it came packed very well. The Frigidaire - Gallery Series 30" Electric Induction Cooktop was very easy to install which I did myself. All the electrical connections were attached to the cook top and all I had to do was connect the wiring to the outlet---simple. I did have to purchase a new electrical junction box because the newer cable was larger than the older one on my previous cook top. Once connected the cook top performed great. Heating up any item was quick and the heat produce did not spread to the rest of the surrounding glass. There is a very low hum when the cook top is powered on, but it is not noticeable unless you are really looking for it. I would highly recommend this cooktop.
Aug 28, 2020 16:49Works well just know that you have to have a certain type of magnetic pots and pans in order to cool on this top. Love the knobless controls!
Feb 21, 2020 15:49We looked for an induction cooktop for weeks. We were surprised at how expensive they were. Then we found the Frigidaire Gallery. The price was half of most other brands. We did our research and found that the only missing feature of any consequence was the lack of a bridge which allows you to use 2 burners for a grill. This was a feature that I did not want our need. All of the reviews of the Frigidaire Gallery were 5 stars. Also, I think it is one of the most attractive cooktop with a design that hides smudges. Installation was quick and easy. I replaced a GE Profile in a granite countertop and it fit perfectly.
Cooking had been a pleasure. Water boils in under a minute and the cooktop does not get hot. The controls are intuitive and easy to operate.
Jan 01, 2019 17:30The Samsung Electric Cooktop offers fine tuned power to address a wide range of cooking needs. The Rapid Boil burner has precise control to make quick adjustments between boiling and a low even simmer. There's a burner for all of your needs, whether you're boiling water, melting chocolate or simmering sauce. Distinctive Blue LED Illuminated knobs let you know if your cooktop is on, even from a distance.
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.
Feb 23, 2020 07:31I've only just begun to use it. Had my GE Profile for 20 years so adjusting to a new way of doing things. So far, no complaints. Wish the under electrical box was smaller so I didn't have to remake my drawer.
Oct 13, 2021 14:42The wifi doesnt pair and im disappointed about that. Besides that, the stove top is excellent. Get hot immediately and is very easy to clean
Jul 09, 2021 20:26This cooktop looks great and works great! I’m happy with my choice.
Jul 16, 2021 17:01Cooktop fit perfectly into our previous opening and is a pleasure to use. It heats up very quickly and has numerous burner size and temperature settings.
Apr 05, 2021 09:45Works great and super pretty. Had cut drawers shorter underneath. This baby is awesome, we love it!
Apr 10, 2021 20:51There are instructions included. Need to operate the WiFi options from the phone but there were no instructions included.
Sep 26, 2020 15:24Bought this for one of our renovation projects had limited space on the island Good choice
Aug 28, 2020 19:58Achieve quick cooking times with this 30-inch Bosch induction cooktop. Each cooking zone has 17 power levels so food cooks evenly, and separate countdown timers let you monitor every pot and pan individually by setting different notifications. This Bosch induction cooktop delivers up to 1700W of power for maximum efficiency.
Sleek finish, easy to keep clean. Super quick response to temp changes. The boost feature to get a pot of water to a boil even faster is a great feature. I do wish the two small 'burners' were spaced further away from the top two - so that I could better use multiple pots at the same time - especially on the left side.
Oct 29, 2021 19:16Love it so far. Looks good and works well. Easy to clean!
Nov 05, 2021 17:57Great cooktop! Enjoy quick cook time! Making meals easier from start to finish!!
Jul 30, 2021 16:35This is the 3rd Bosch product I've purchased. I am a true convert. There is a bit of a learning curve and I needed to purchase all new cookware but it is worth it!
Dec 25, 2020 16:31The touch pad controls are difficult to use, to turn off you must scroll from nine to zero. The timer starts at ten minutes or thirty minutes, you must scroll to other numbers. And some brands of “induction capable” pots still don’t work on this cooktop
Dec 04, 2018 19:42The first induction unit arrived cracked and had to send it back, delaying our renovation project.
Feb 19, 2021 15:37Happy with the product available and prompt delivery
Jan 29, 2021 15:43We did not keep this cooktop. We returned the induction
and got LG cooktop and are very happy with it.
Oct 12, 2019 11:53GE Profile Series electric cooktop: With 5 elements providing 1200-3100W of heating power, you can cook delicious home-cooked meals for your family. A timer helps you coordinate various dishes with ease, and indicator lights warn you when the surface is hot for safety.
Beautiful cooktop. Very elegant looking in my island. Love all the features. Very happy with my purchase. Easy to install.
Aug 31, 2018 16:42We installed this yesterday and used it right away. Learning to use it was very easy. I gave it 4 out of 5 stars for one reason: the burners take a loooooong time cool down. The "hot" indicator shuts off too early. 15 minutes after the indicator turned off I put my hand above the burners we used--they were still hot. Had I set down something plastic it would have melted. Other than that--I already love this appliance!!!
Jan 23, 2021 09:11I am happy with the cooktop, it looks great on my new kitchen, my cons is that it dies not stay very very close to the countertop. I bought online so I can't tell how the store display shows it . Also my contractor use a base cabinet for the wall oven/cooktop combination it did not work he had to make the bottom a little lower to make it fit.
Jul 08, 2021 12:29Great functionality, rapid heating, with optional sizes of burner. Hard to keep glass surface looking like new though.
Oct 23, 2021 14:20Overall very satisfied. Only downfall was the fact that this was the only 30” cooktop that fit our existing cutout. Would have liked to have able picked a different unit on sale. Overall installation was done very professionally.
Nov 13, 2020 17:05GE - Profile Series 30" Built-In Electric Cooktop - Black on Black
And the GE - Universal 30" Telescopic Downdraft System - Stainless steel are awesome. I love the look and the functionality of both. I recommend the combination of cooktop and down draft system. Perfect !
Nov 19, 2018 16:21Purchased for the touch "knobs". Have only had it for about a month, but so far very happy with it.
Jun 23, 2017 18:53Product was missing the griddle and User Manual.
Cooks good.

Lightweight and easy to install. Nice features including a burner lock and a super boil function that heats the burner to max temp in seconds. Love it!
Jul 02, 2021 18:26This new stovetop replaced a 48 year old stovetop. So far, it has been great. The power boil option on 2 eyes is wonderful and I like the lock feature to keep little hands from being able to turn on the stove. This really updated the look of my kitchen and is exactly what I wanted.
Aug 06, 2021 19:29I love my new cooktop. The installer was wonderful. He was very knowledgeable and professional.
Apr 30, 2021 16:01Got this to update my dad's kitchen and I didn't want the best and I think I got a very good cook top. My daughter uses it and said's that it cooks her food and heats up very well. Glad I got this model.
May 09, 2020 08:33Really like the product itself. The size was actually smaller than what it said it was. That made installation a little hectic. We made it work though.
Aug 24, 2019 08:24I purchased this as it was only one that fit in my space
Aug 16, 2020 10:46product was simple to use and exactly what we needed
Nov 01, 2019 16:19I had a previous version of this same cooktop which had to be replaced because the ceramic cracked. Delighted to find some nice updates to the product.
Mar 10, 2017 21:25Cooking performance meets modern design in this LG radiant cooktop. Steady Heat cooking elements deliver constant heat at any temperature for more precise heat control, and provide a quick response to every temperature adjustment. SmoothTouch™ controls allow you to adjust the settings with the touch of a finger.
It's a GREAT product - but make sure you keep the surface clean and it get scratches easily. Use a good cleaner to maintain the surface!
Oct 30, 2020 16:55Great cook top .. love that it’s oversized with stainless rim!
Mar 15, 2020 05:03My wife did extensive research into this item and based on her findings we decided this was the best product for us since we did not want to buy new cookware.
Jan 17, 2020 16:32I can’t wait to have the stove connected in our new home it is being delivered in a few weeks super excited this item was highly recommended by a friend of mine that has the same unit
Dec 19, 2018 17:39Its everything i wished on a cooktop and it was on sale!
Mar 15, 2019 19:00I bought this product and it broke after less than two weeks of usage. Very disappointing.
May 01, 2020 15:57Cooktop was easy to install. Turning on the cooktop did take me a minute to learn but that is why there are directions. After reading them the cooktop is easy to use and looks great!
Oct 18, 2016 12:27Great! Easy to clean, cooks fast, beautiful. Love it!
Aug 12, 2021 22:54Ensure meals are cooked evenly with this Bosch 800 Series 36-inch induction cooktop. The flat surface makes cleaning up after preparing meals fast and easy, while the large size lets you work on several dishes at once. This Bosch 800 Series 36-inch induction cooktop cooks faster than traditional gas or electric stoves.
I decided to upgrade to this cooktop from a slide-in range that I had originally purchased. This offers speedy indication functionality, safety, WiFi connectivity, ease of cleaning, all incorporated into a sleek, modern and minimalistic design. It’s not the cheapest, but also not the most expensive cooktop, but worth the money for what it is.
Nov 12, 2021 16:55I’ve had my Bosch Induction NIT8669UC installed and in use for 6 months now, and wanted to wait this long before posting a review to avoid any “honeymoon” phase bias. This cooktop replaced a 25 year old gas range. My wife and I both agree that this induction range is extremely safer than gas. We no longer worry about the kids turning on an active flame, severely burning themselves, or bumping the knob and leaking gas into the house with concerning complications. We also don’t need to worry about our clothing or other utensils accidentally melting or catching fire because they were in the wrong place for a brief moment. The cooktop can turn itself off automatically when cooking is finished, which gives peace of mind.
We are very satisfied with our purchase and moving to induction. We didn’t realize how much we would benefit from having so much safe cooking power available. Boiling water for anything and quickly heating up frying pans is a great feature. We also like how the cooktop cools down so quickly, which is a great safety feature of induction. We frequently use the cook timer feature to turn off a burner at a given time.
Cooking rice is especially easier when you know when you want the cooktop to stop cooking. The Wi-Fi and app feature is also nice to be able to confirm the cooktop is off.
There are just a few drawbacks. Most of our pans were induction compatible, but it’s definitely worth it to do the magnet test on your pots and pans to find out what you’re not going to be able to use on induction. We also have found that the controls are a little hard to use when cooking on 2 or more burners at the same time. This is because the control panel is setup to first select the burner and then change things like power and timers. We frequently make the mistake of changing the power before realizing we changed the power of a different burner in use because we forgot to first select it. It’s not a dealbreaker but sometimes leads to confusion when cooking on multiple spaces at the same time.
We highly recommend this cooktop, especially when switching from gas. In the end, we have found that we cook meals faster on induction and enjoy the tech and safety features.
Oct 04, 2021 00:18This cooktop is the best induction cooktop I’ve owned. My last 2 stoves were induction, and that’s all I ever cook with. It’s fast and so easy to clean. Bosch always makes quality products, and this one meets that expectation.
Aug 23, 2020 08:58excellant product, everything we hope it would be
outstanding personnel at the store
we were in a bind we had our kitchen completely demolished for the last 3 months and was coming to end of the project when LOWES called and stated " your cooktop will be backordered for at least another month or more!!!!) after already waiting 90 days for it
best buy had 3 in stock and they priced matched
GREAT thanks again
May 08, 2021 08:36Very happy with the cooktop. Had to change some pots to work with induction but worth it.
Jul 24, 2021 13:39With induction cooktop it is very easy to keep the surface clean. Had radiant cooktop earlier which got thankfully got recalled, it was a pain to keep glass surface clean. With Bosch induction cooktop, cleaning is a breeze. The features provided are great. It will take a while to learn them as there are too many. The WiFi Homeconnect is good to monitor if cooktop settings remotely. You can send cooking instructions remotely to cooktop, but it has to be confirmed by the person on the cooktop physically. The speedboost option is great, it heats up stuff in seconds. Overall very satisfied with the purchase.
Oct 25, 2019 16:19We really love this cooktop! It’s very powerful. The controls take a bit to get used to, but now that we’ve had it for a while, we like them. Easy to control the heat settings. Easy to clean off. When not in use, it virtually disappears since all the controls are on the glass too. The biggest challenge was to find induction cookware...
Apr 10, 2020 20:36Took over eight months canceling multiple times but finally we had to cancel ourselves.
Apr 15, 2021 11:17Manage mealtime prep with this GE electric cooktop. It has four cooking elements and a warming zone to keep food hot, and the indicator lights let you know when burners are still warm for added safety. Front knob controls on this GE electric cooktop let you easily adjust temperatures and control all of the elements.
This cooktop is exactly what we were looking for in our new kitchen! Our builder was shocked that we could still fit a drawer below the cooktop because it is such a slim design.
We love the arrangement of the burners and the size options they provide. We are able to cook multiple items at a time. We link it so much, we are ordering another for the new house we're building next year.
Jul 27, 2021 19:17This cook top is sleek and adds elegance to a kitchen. Tons of compliments on it. Very satisfied with its cooking ability. Boiling is slow, but once you get the hang of transferring from electric coil or gas flame to using a ceramic cook top, cooking is a breeze. I rate it strong in these areas.
What I don't like: this one is very difficult to clean. It is not as responsive to cook top cleaners as one would hope. And getting rid of cook top cleaner polish smears takes forever and a day. It is not as easy to buff clean as the instructions imply. That said, it is still easier than cleaning oven pans on a gas or electric coil stove. You will need a scratch pad made for glass cook tops and you will need the scraper made for cook tops. Never let old spills and smears stay on too long. And wipe off as many spills with damp paper towel and dry BEFORE applying polish cleaner. Knobs are very hard to get back shiny.
Also, cook top will scratch easily---small annoying marks that are not seen until bright light illuminates, but still.
I enjoy it and would not go back to electric coil. I would go to gas, so if you can get one in gas, that is what I would recommend. This one so far, is as good as any electric on the market today. I have only had it in use about 8 months, so bear that in mind. I can not yet comment on durability. If you were to purchase this one, I recommend getting the stainless steel trim. Would be even more beautiful. Mine is black in an all-white kitchen and blends nicely. Just the right size---5 burners is really all you need.
Aug 25, 2020 15:00My wife loves it therefore I love it. It looks nice and was a good value. Seems to cook well and I like the warmer but I read others don't. We are happy with it.
Sep 09, 2021 21:50The GE 36" Electric Cooktop works great. It heats up quickly and works well. The installation was easy since we the original cooktop was another GE 36 inches. Just make sure that the dimensions are the same for ease of installation.
Oct 31, 2020 09:01We have had GE electric stove top for 15 years, we upgraded to this one because the surface on the older one started showing signs of wear, but it worked just fine.
Aug 01, 2020 09:36So far we're loving the cooktop. The power boil is fantastic and the stainless steel set It off. I installed it myself, super easy.
Aug 28, 2020 19:41Shipping was slow and impossible to track. Need to remedy.
Dec 11, 2020 16:20unfortunately it is on bak order.. but christina was very nice nd helpful when she came to my home
Sep 05, 2020 09:33This 36” electric cooktop features Downdraft, an integrated ventilation system that doesn’t require a separate hood. A 10-inch Even-Heat™ Ultra element provides versatility for both high-and low-temperature cooking, and has multiple simmer settings. And with a 3-speed fan with 300 CFM exhaust rating, the venting can keep up withyour culinary feats.
One burner (on the lower left hand side didn't work).
The technician came to fit it. Currently, it works very well.
Thanks so much for the excellent service!
Best wishes in the holidays season.
Nov 13, 2021 10:37This was the only stovetop we could find with an exhaust fan and it's a huge improvement over our old one. Very pleased with the cooktop.
Jul 03, 2021 18:54Bought thus unit to replace old stove top in house we bought. First the unit looks great. Second it heats quickly. Third the additional 5th large burn is a great feature.
Dec 13, 2019 15:45This cook top is the best! My wife went from having 2 burners and a grill to having 5 burners.Multiple pots on the cook top at once now! Love it!
Feb 26, 2021 18:31Great cook top would've given 5 star but scratches fairly easily,
Jul 13, 2018 15:43I returned this product due to lack of stock. Never picked this up . Returned.
Sep 26, 2020 05:07I love this cooktop. It cooks fast and cools off fast.
Feb 25, 2019 16:36Didn’t face any problem. Product was on time. Very Happy
Mar 20, 2019 18:35Get food ready quickly with this 30-inch Frigidaire cooktop. The SpaceWise elements expand to suit your culinary needs while offering plenty of room to multitask, and the front controls ensure safe temperature adjustments. This Frigidaire cooktop has a ceramic glass surface and a versatile fit for a sleek, contemporary look.
GE electric cooktop: Enjoy a homemade meal with your family when you use this electric cooktop, which features 5 elements with keep-warm settings to ensure side dishes stay hot and a Power Boil burner to get water boiling quickly.
The cooktop works fine, but the stainless steel accents on the front and back of the cooktop are easily scratched with normal use. The day we had the cooktop installed we used it to cook our dinner. We immediately noticed that our pans caused scratches on the stainless steel. The scratches have gotten more numerous the more we use the cooktop. I would definitely not buy this cooktop with the stainless steel accents again!
Nov 30, 2018 18:16good price, works great, easy to clean, saves space
Nov 13, 2021 14:06The cook top fit perfect and works great.The instant boil is very fast and I have used the warmer daily
Apr 20, 2021 07:36They seem happy with it. We do notice the top is very touch sensitive. If you say lay a loaf of bread on top of it , it beeps and thinks you want to set the temperature!
Jan 11, 2021 12:35We had a Kitchen. It was time to replace. I chose this one because it had 5 burner's. I also liked the flat touch for the controls opposed to knobs. We are all still getting use to the touched. Not so sure I really like it. I do like it frees up the space and is flat. We are still getting use to the temperature control yet. We have burned a few things. You need to cook at a low temp. The controls are not easy to see . They need to be darker.
Aug 28, 2020 19:45I had a GE Profile before. From the description, it looked like I didn't need those few extra features, so I picked the standard GE. No store carried this model for me to actually see, so I bought it online, sight unseen. The printing/lettering is so faint and hard to read, I always have to use the overhead light to use the cooktop. Very annoying. There are a few things I liked on the Profile that aren't on the standard cooktop.
Jun 12, 2018 15:16Working fine. Good cooktop. Works perfectly. Very useful.
Apr 15, 2021 09:58This is my second 36 inch GE smooth cooktop the first one I had lasted me 14 years can’t complain about that. I hope I have as good luck with this one as I did with the first.
Aug 17, 2020 12:24Whether you need an extra range to prepare a full meal or just a cooktop in your dorm or RV, the Insignia single-zone induction cooktop lets you safely and efficiently prepare food for friends and family. Its induction technology provides uniform heat distribution to evenly heat food, and the glass surface makes cleanup a breeze. Automatic shut-off and child lock functions offer added safety so you can enjoy both food and family.
We ordered this single-element unit so that we could try an induction cooktop without committing to spending a ton of money on a high-end built in unit that we may not like.
Conclusion: we're completely sold.
This little induction unit does a great job, with plenty of power and enough precision to rival (or beat) gas. It feels solid, but it's not too heavy. It's fairly intuitive to use, and there's a manual to get you introduced. The box even came with a magnet for you to use to check if your pans will work with induction. Almost every pan we have works perfectly, including our cast iron, carbon steel, and stainless steel sets.
It makes quite a bit of noise, which we expected. A lot of it is the induction element, but the cooling fans are quite loud as well. It's the price you pay for an inexpensive, powerful countertop unit I suppose. It would be nice if the element was square and used up the entire surface, but such a unit wouldn't be as good of a price.
Apr 08, 2021 00:28Brand new, out of the box and it doesn't work. I get an incompleted 4 ( see photos below). I bought two of these and the same thing happens to the other unit. Get this..I returned those two, and two more were sent to me. The same thing happens. I'm thinking it must be something in my house, so I took them to work and plugged it into an outlet in our breakout room. Nothing. It lights up, but does NOT WORK! How could this happen. Twice??
Oct 08, 2021 13:01with my $10 reward , i got this for $25 ,, i now have 3,, but this one is more powerful to heat ,,, and has a temperature setting where my other 2 insigna only do power level setting ..
i travel with these to use in hotel to perk morning coffee and cook soup, or whatever in a pot .. lot easier than other methods ..
i like these with timer to shut off ,, after a while of use ,you learn what value to set and just let it go and not worry about burning or over cooking ..
my 2 original purchase a few years ago was primarily for summer cooking that it does not heat up the kitchen , ,and now with 3 of these i can cook more item at same time ...
these single units are also better than a dual cooker unit ,, where i seen reviews of them that you can't set both dual cooker to max at the same time ... but with separate one you can ,, your limit then becomes the circuit breakers of your house wiring ..
very happy with all three of my insigna brand units , especially summer cooking and outside deck ,,, and traveling ..
Jul 17, 2020 16:31It is light weight, and small enough to bring on trips for a "home-cooked" meal. There is a carrying handle on the box, which is convenient for travelling, although by design, the plastic handle is loose and easily falls off. Why they design it this way puzzles me, but it's easy to fix - some packing tape secures the handle to the cardboard box easily.
It is easy to use. There are two ways of adjusting the power: power or temperature. Particularly I like the temperature control very much. This is very useful when doing deep frying. Something to keep in mind: Switching between these two adjustment modes will cause the device to "forget" the setting in the other mode, and always goes to the highest power/temperature upon switching. This knowledge is useful when boiling soup or noodles to prevent boiling over and create mess.
Overall I am satisfied with this portable cooker, and glad I made the purchase.
Oct 28, 2021 23:43You learn a lot of new things once you buy it. I bought it to experience cooking on induction before completely replacing my electric stove to induction. I learnt that You need to have pans and pota those are compatible with induction technology. Personally i feel like there are so many limitations in this type of cooking. This unit it self is good to try. Energy wise it is very efficient.
Oct 29, 2021 16:44I was larger than I thought and found out you couldn't use it on a wood slab countertop. It was the same size as my Keurig metal storage case so it made a perfect spot for it. I filled the stainless steel pan I bought for the induction cooker with water. It took about three minutes for the water to boil on medium. It is a nice addition to my basement bar, we are planning to live in it when we have the rest of the house remodeled.
Oct 29, 2021 16:25I’m very pleased with this cooker. Great deal at $30. There’s a learning curve, but manageable when paying attention. The few things that I’ve made have come out well.
I’m a blind individual, and layout of buttons is fantastic. I also appreciate the layout in user manual actually matched cooker layout. Great job Insignia and Best Buy.
I have a starter induction pot and pan set from BB&B, and there’s been no issues with connection. I have a few Insignia products, and have had no issues. A 3.4 qt Air Fryer going on 3 years, and a 5 qt going on 2 years. Hopefully this cooker does as well.
Jul 20, 2021 00:19Seems to be dependable. This is my second one. First one is 3 to 4 years old and still working. I prefer induction over my glass electric range cooktop. I turned that off at breaker and use the 2 inductions on top of the range.
Jun 23, 2021 13:33Cook all your family's favorites with an easy-to-clean cooktop designed to make the most of your mealtime routine. Get added flexibility when installing with 30 & 40 amp compatibility, or while cooking with the FlexHeat™ dual radiant element. When dinner's done, a ceramic glass cooktop makes it easy to wipe away messes.
Salesman was excellent.
I created the first problem in not doing the measurement. I previously had a 30” cooktop that apparently was 30.2 “ and first one I ordered was 29.75” and was too small for the cutout. The Whirlpool which is over 30” fit perfectly.
The second problem occurred after the installation and the Best Buy installer left and II couldn’t close the drawers below the cooktop. If he hadn’t left So quickly the problem could have been resolved.
Apparently he put the connection cord over the slide surface for the drawer. They would not come back to fix it and I had someone else do for another $100.
Third problem, Best Buy installer didn’t use the foam tape.
Fourth problem. Best Buy installer didn’t use securing brackets.
I would recommend buyers not to pay $130 to Best Buy for their installation.
Jun 26, 2020 16:47I have been looking to upgrade my cooktop for some time now. I wanted to update the look in our kitchen to be a bit more modern. My wife wasn't interested in anything too fancy and she didn't want something that had touch controls because she thought that it would be too easy to accidentally turn on. This Whirlpool cooktop was exactly what we wanted and we took advantage of a great sale price. So far it is working exactly as expected and it looks great!
Jul 17, 2019 08:34Looks great and easy to install. Bought it as open box and it works perfectly.
May 22, 2021 11:24The cook-top arrived in good condition, installed with ease, and cooks like a charm BUT, the all black knobs have a poorly delineated groove indicating the position. It is all but impossible to see. The settings for the burners are border line invisible, (see the attached photo)
I enhanced the knobs on mine by filling grooves with white correction fluid. (see attached photo)
Sep 28, 2019 10:43The stovetop was too large for the opening so we had to cut a larger opening. The stovetop looks nice and works well.
Jan 01, 2021 17:44We picked it up at the store and they brought it right out. It was perfect for our countertop. The only problem was, the installer never showed. We waited one hour on a telephone and they ended up sending us a $50 gift card. We hired outside of Best Buy, and actually even paid a little less. Best Buy customer service needs improvement.
Jul 24, 2020 16:57This is a very good cooktop. It may require a larger hole than the cooktop you are replacing which raises the installation costs considerably (plus $160 in our case). Just check your dimensions carefully that this will fit in the space of the one you are replacing. Once it was in the hole, hooked up with no problems and works very well.
Mar 27, 2021 13:41Install team was helpful and efficient. Model works great. Great replacement for cracked older model.
Nov 05, 2021 17:08This 30" electric cooktop has performance that more than backs up its timeless style. It features a 10" Even-Heat™ Ultra Power™ element with a simmer setting, a 6" Even-Heat™ element with a melt setting, and a 10"/6" Ultra Power™ double-ring round element designed to accommodate both large stock pots and 6" sauté pans with ease and handle rapid boiling, searing and wok cooking.
Product looks and works great, people involved in scheduling and coordinating delivery was terrible.
Mar 27, 2021 10:05Install process wasn’t fun. Had to have the opening cut larger in the granite counter top. Made a huge mess. No issues with the product itself though. Haven’t been using it long so I can’t yet speak to its durability. Works great though. Heats up fast (unlike the Kitchenaid oven we purchased). I like that the larger burners have the option to only turn on a smaller inner area if you need more small burners or maybe you just don’t want to put a small pot on a back burner and have to reach for it.
Jan 31, 2020 18:34Excellent cooktop! Simple to install and works great and looks amazing in our entire KitchenAid kitchen! Very happy with our purchase!
Mar 05, 2021 17:56I love this beautiful electric stove, it looks so elegant
Dec 04, 2021 22:01Best cooktop I have owned replaced a 20 year old magic chef cooktop I like the dual ring burns
Oct 08, 2021 20:58I thought my old cooktop was OK, just bought to match all appliances. .....BUT water boils faster and skillets cook evenly now!!!
Mar 06, 2021 09:42I finally got this Kitchenaid installed on Christmas eve. It has been a pleasure cooking, but a pain keeping it clean.
Jan 15, 2021 18:01This item looks very nice and it is preforming very well. Love it.
Jul 09, 2021 16:04GE electric cooktop: Whip up a delicious dinner for you and your family on this electric cooktop, which features 2 Power Boil elements to heat items quickly. A control lock, along with hot surface and power-on indicator lights, helps prevent accidents.
Ordered a brand new unit but received an old unit from bestbuy. Received the unit 2 weeks ago but didn’t open it until today, when the installer came and opened the box, we were shocked to see an old and used unit. Had to send the installer home, wasted money and time.... So disappointed with Best Buy’s quality control... contacting bestbuy now
Apr 07, 2021 13:19Purchase June 12, 2021. The first time I use my Cuisinart cast-iron skillet, to fry green tomatoes, it’s scarred the cooktop. I am requesting a replacement. I hope it doesn’t happen again. For that reason I’m giving it one star.
Jul 20, 2021 11:00This broke after a few months. Terrible
Also, this cooktop is stained and scratched. So disappointed.
May 17, 2021 18:59Beautiful and efficient and easy to clean...............................................................................
Feb 13, 2021 10:35We needed a cooktop that would fit in our granite countertop, which had been cut to fit the precious cooktop. We worked with Scott at the Paducah KY store. We wanted one recomended by Consumer Report. We brought the magazine with us. & he checked several to be certain the base would fit in the opening and still be large enough so as to completely cover the surface. We really appreciated his patience and help. We had previously purchased 1 from Best Buy with the measurements listed as 30 inches, but it was really 29 1/2 and was going to fall through. The man who installed the cooktop had to come back a second time as the first did not fit. I believe his name was Harold and he came from Cape Gireadea, MO. He even called to find out if we were able to find another cooktop. We really appreciated his concern and help as well.
Jan 30, 2021 09:32I love my new GE cooktop ! Not only does it change the whole appearance of my kitchen for the better, but it also great to cook on! Also, the flat surface allows me to place items like dinner plates on it to warm.
Feb 12, 2021 20:05My purchase of GE cooktop was good. Product performs as stated on website. I am satisfied with the product, but disappointed that I was not told when I ordered it, that someone could come to my house and take proper measurements. Due to that lack of information, I had to order a filler kit and wait 2 more weeks for my installation. Then to top it off, the wrong color of the filler kit was sent to me. This still has not been resolved.
Mar 09, 2021 17:17This electric cooktop is easy to use and regulate heat. It has 4 burners, 2 with optional power boil settings and 2 smaller burners, one with a, “keep warm” setting. Burner temperature is even across all 4 burners on similar settings, and a red light appears even after all burners are off, warning that the glass cooktop surface is still warm.
The glass surface is beautiful and easy to clean, but I do wish I would have opted for the touch screen version. The knobs are hard to clean around.
Highly recommend! Would buy again!
May 14, 2021 00:40The Samsung Electric Cooktop offers flexible cooking technology. Fine tuned control makes quick adjustments between rapid boil and a low, even, simmer. Enjoy the comfort of Analog-Knobs combined with the advanced technology of digital touch display. Dual burner sync control allows easy heating for long pots or griddles.
Excellent cook top. Love safety lock and being able to torn off, or adjust from phone.
Aug 22, 2020 17:05Awesome cooktop, very ease to operate
Happy we got it
Oct 04, 2020 17:16I own the whole line of this Samsung black stainless steel products and I love them!

Dec 18, 2020 17:37Do easy to operate and so easy to clean. Glad I purchased it!
Sep 25, 2020 18:13Nice cooktop with accurate temp adjustments. Easy to keep things at a simmer. However, it is easy to accidentally turn off burns with a splash of liquid or by brushing over the buttons.
Nov 16, 2021 16:54Great. Great. Great

After months of research and "due-diligence" looking for the ideal electric cooktop to replace a 40 year old Whirlpool electric cooktop, I selected this white glass cooktop from GE.
As you can see in the attached photo, the glass surface requires cleaning after use. The stain in this photo is the result from cooking 1 breakfast sandwich. All of my skillets, pot and pans have been scoured with steelwool to insure that old debris isn't transferred when in use (I learned this the hard way), but even with clean pans this is the result after only 10 minutes of cooking time.
There is a special glass cooktop cleaner that is used to remove these stains but you have to do this after every use if you want to keep a clean looking kitchen.
A black glass cooktop will not show the stains as much but they are still there.
Whatever the "pros" glass cooktops offer this "con" out-weighs them!
After 10 months of use, I'm now going to replace this stove with gas.

After 10 months of use, I'm now going to replace this stove with gas.
Nov 23, 2021 15:17Ordered a brand new unit but received an old unit from bestbuy. Received the unit 2 weeks ago but didn’t open it until today, when the installer came and opened the box, we were shocked to see an old and used unit. Had to send the installer home, wasted money and time.... So disappointed with Best Buy’s quality control... contacting bestbuy now
Apr 07, 2021 13:19Purchase June 12, 2021. The first time I use my Cuisinart cast-iron skillet, to fry green tomatoes, it’s scarred the cooktop. I am requesting a replacement. I hope it doesn’t happen again. For that reason I’m giving it one star.
Jul 20, 2021 11:00This broke after a few months. Terrible
Also, this cooktop is stained and scratched. So disappointed.
May 17, 2021 18:59Beautiful and efficient and easy to clean...............................................................................
Feb 13, 2021 10:35We needed a cooktop that would fit in our granite countertop, which had been cut to fit the precious cooktop. We worked with Scott at the Paducah KY store. We wanted one recomended by Consumer Report. We brought the magazine with us. & he checked several to be certain the base would fit in the opening and still be large enough so as to completely cover the surface. We really appreciated his patience and help. We had previously purchased 1 from Best Buy with the measurements listed as 30 inches, but it was really 29 1/2 and was going to fall through. The man who installed the cooktop had to come back a second time as the first did not fit. I believe his name was Harold and he came from Cape Gireadea, MO. He even called to find out if we were able to find another cooktop. We really appreciated his concern and help as well.
Jan 30, 2021 09:32I love my new GE cooktop ! Not only does it change the whole appearance of my kitchen for the better, but it also great to cook on! Also, the flat surface allows me to place items like dinner plates on it to warm.
Feb 12, 2021 20:05My purchase of GE cooktop was good. Product performs as stated on website. I am satisfied with the product, but disappointed that I was not told when I ordered it, that someone could come to my house and take proper measurements. Due to that lack of information, I had to order a filler kit and wait 2 more weeks for my installation. Then to top it off, the wrong color of the filler kit was sent to me. This still has not been resolved.
Mar 09, 2021 17:17Cook all your family's favorites with an easy-to-clean cooktop designed to make the most of your mealtime routine. Get added flexibility when installing with 30 & 40 amp compatibility, or while cooking with the FlexHeat™ dual radiant element. When dinner's done, a ceramic glass cooktop makes it easy to wipe away messes.
Salesman was excellent.
I created the first problem in not doing the measurement. I previously had a 30” cooktop that apparently was 30.2 “ and first one I ordered was 29.75” and was too small for the cutout. The Whirlpool which is over 30” fit perfectly.
The second problem occurred after the installation and the Best Buy installer left and II couldn’t close the drawers below the cooktop. If he hadn’t left So quickly the problem could have been resolved.
Apparently he put the connection cord over the slide surface for the drawer. They would not come back to fix it and I had someone else do for another $100.
Third problem, Best Buy installer didn’t use the foam tape.
Fourth problem. Best Buy installer didn’t use securing brackets.
I would recommend buyers not to pay $130 to Best Buy for their installation.
Jun 26, 2020 16:47I have been looking to upgrade my cooktop for some time now. I wanted to update the look in our kitchen to be a bit more modern. My wife wasn't interested in anything too fancy and she didn't want something that had touch controls because she thought that it would be too easy to accidentally turn on. This Whirlpool cooktop was exactly what we wanted and we took advantage of a great sale price. So far it is working exactly as expected and it looks great!
Jul 17, 2019 08:34Looks great and easy to install. Bought it as open box and it works perfectly.
May 22, 2021 11:24The cook-top arrived in good condition, installed with ease, and cooks like a charm BUT, the all black knobs have a poorly delineated groove indicating the position. It is all but impossible to see. The settings for the burners are border line invisible, (see the attached photo)
I enhanced the knobs on mine by filling grooves with white correction fluid. (see attached photo)
Sep 28, 2019 10:43The stovetop was too large for the opening so we had to cut a larger opening. The stovetop looks nice and works well.
Jan 01, 2021 17:44We picked it up at the store and they brought it right out. It was perfect for our countertop. The only problem was, the installer never showed. We waited one hour on a telephone and they ended up sending us a $50 gift card. We hired outside of Best Buy, and actually even paid a little less. Best Buy customer service needs improvement.
Jul 24, 2020 16:57This is a very good cooktop. It may require a larger hole than the cooktop you are replacing which raises the installation costs considerably (plus $160 in our case). Just check your dimensions carefully that this will fit in the space of the one you are replacing. Once it was in the hole, hooked up with no problems and works very well.
Mar 27, 2021 13:41Install team was helpful and efficient. Model works great. Great replacement for cracked older model.
Nov 05, 2021 17:08Cook your signature dish on this KitchenAid electric downdraft cooktop. Its integrated ventilation system uses a three-speed fan to remove odors, steam, grease and smoke, and two Even-Heat cooking elements let you control high and low heat. This 30-inch KitchenAid electric downdraft cooktop has stainless steel knobs for lasting use.
The cooktop works great. Heats up very fast looks sleek and profesional.
May 15, 2021 16:14This is a very nice cooktop. I like the downdraft feature. Keeps strong cooking odors to a minimum. Heats evenly. Cleans up easily with cooktop cleaner. So far, so good. I'm happy.
Mar 26, 2019 11:40This KitchenAid Cooktop replaces our old JennAir, and we were looking specifically for a cooktop that had a downdraft (DD) exhaust build into it. We loved the DD in our old JennAir and wanted to make sure a new one had it. Installation was easy as we were replacing the countertops in our kitchen and did not have to have a unit of the same size as our old one. Just had to realign the exhaust hole in the wall (cut a new one).
The KitchenAid heats quickly, offers a variety of sizes with four burners and the multi-speed exhaust allows adjustment for the amount of exhaust needed.
Cleaning is fairly easy but I would not recommend the use of an abrasives on the glass surface. Boil-overs or spills can be "scraped" off using a razor blade tool, like one for removing paint from windows, then soap and water.
The build quality is very good and performance to date had been great.
Mar 23, 2021 07:53Replaced older Jenn-Air electric downdraft cooktop. Review written 1 month after installation. Thus far we are very satisfied with this cooktop.
KitchenAid Highs: Huge improvement in water boiling time when using the ultra heat setting. The 2 even heat burners have excellent low temperature range. Strong downdraft system. Chrome knobs. Grease filter sits in accessible tray very close to the cooktop surface and looks like it will catch most of what always ended up dripping or falling to bottom of Jenn Air blower unit that required elbow deep cleaning.
KitchenAid Lows: Stranded wire used for connection to home power supply. Funky offset connector is included from the square blower exhaust to a 6" round connector-note 6". If you are replacing a Jenn Air unit the blower exhaust is not the same size or position and requires a size step down and 90 degree multi adjustable connector twisted around to realign the approximate 2" offset.
Neutral: You are always chasing surface cleaning and scratches but it is black ceramic glass. Knob orientation to burner position is not as intuitive as Jenn Air. Surface vent footprint is smaller than Jenn Air with equal to or better air flow. 3 speed fan is not infinitely adjustable like Jenn Air but seems fine and slightly noisy like Jenn Air. Plastic grease filter.
Aug 01, 2020 11:27The cook top works just fine. I do find it harder to clean than my last cooktop. It scratches much easier and even with the cleaner for a glass top cooktop it doesn't come clean easily. Other than that it work fine.
Nov 06, 2021 09:02It looks good. It works, And it fit on the first try.
Mar 12, 2021 18:55I appreciate how it heats up quickly! I'm not a big fan of glass cooktops due to the challenges of cleaning it and keeping it from scratching but so far we like this one,
Sep 27, 2021 10:53The only downdraft cooktop available. Looks good, operates well. Still not quite the cooktop I wanted.
Oct 15, 2021 19:30This 30” electric cooktop features Downdraft, an integrated ventilation system that doesn’t require a separate hood. A 10-inch Even-Heat™ Ultra element provides versatility for both high- and low-temperature cooking, and has multiple simmer settings. And with a 3-speed fan with 300 CFM exhaust rating, the venting can keep up with your culinary feats.
The cooktop works great. Heats up very fast looks sleek and profesional.

Dec 03, 2021 15:47GE Profile Series electric cooktop: Enjoy a flavorful meal with your family when you cook on this electric cooktop, which features glide touch controls for easy adjustments and 2 expandable elements for efficient cooking. Timers for each element and a kitchen timer help you coordinate multiple dishes.
The unit has performed as advertised.
Looks good. Cooks without discernible issues.
Controls not very well lit or easy to locate in dark situations.
Smears, requiring effort to clean.
Sep 12, 2020 14:44works great. better than the previous model that we had
Mar 26, 2021 20:13Have always had GE cooktops, and this is just another good one!
Only thing is the buttons are sometimes too sensitive...must remember to lock them before cleaning!!!
Mar 20, 2020 16:35Very pleased with ease of opperation. No issues after several months of use. Easy to clean surface.
Jun 07, 2019 20:51Ordered the cooktop and microwave. Bestbuy setup 2 delivery dates already to delivery the Microwave and both times called to tell me it’s not available. What is going on? Still waiting on my microwave from a purchase on 9/6/20
Oct 12, 2020 09:31It's new, but so far works as expected! A great purchase!
Jul 16, 2018 18:43I love the multi burners and adjustable ring sizes. You can also sync the 2 left burners if you have a large griddle. Great for cooking pancakes. This cooktop is all digital, and will take some getting used to at first. There is a lockout just in case you have cats that like to jump up on the appliances so they can't accidentally turn on a burner. However, we have lost power a couple of times, and upon reset, the lockout is not engaged. a slight flaw in the design.
Mar 18, 2020 20:36Have wanted one of these for years but had to wait until I had 220V circuit available in the kitchen.
So happy with the new purchase.
May 24, 2020 19:22GE electric cooktop: Control multiple elements simultaneously with SyncBurners to evenly heat large pots and pans on this electric cooktop. A 6"/9" Power Boil dual element enables versatile and efficient cooking to suit you and your family.
Great replacement for older GE monogram cooktop which lost a burner. A replacement burner was out of stock for months so I had this replace it. This one has 5 heating pads and 2 of them can be linked for cooking larger items. The look is very good and the controls much better than the one it replaced. I had it installed and it took just a few minutes.
Dec 03, 2021 16:25I couldn't find a cooktop in PR because of hurracane Maria. I thought of Best Buy because of your excellent appliances. I placed the order by internet, my son received it in FL even before the date it was supposed to arrived. He sent it to me, it was very easy. Love my cooktop!
May 16, 2018 18:19This stovetop works great. It boils water super fast. I was oringally concerned about it being touch screen and littles accidentally turning it on, but it has a lock feature and it's not been a problem yet.
Side note: Best Buy north Lakeland has the best manager around. He corrected an error that occurred when I originally ordered a different model the week after thanksgiving and for unknown reasons it was never delivered. I had received an email and phone call the day before confirming delivery, but the day of delivery my stove top never arrived. After multiple calls I was finally told it was all of a sudden "backordered". We checked prior to ordering and it was not back ordered. I was told I wouldn't have the stovetop till after the new year. The manager found this one and got it to my house a week later and I had one before Christmas. I called the Best Buy 800 number and there solution was oh well, there is nothing we can do and you'll have to wait. I went back to the store and the manager found this one (one of the few not back ordered). I was concerned about the touch screen feature but he did research and told me about the functions and lock feature. Thank you Brandon for fixing a problem that even corporate refused to correct when it was their fault.
Jan 16, 2017 15:15I like the cooktop. I love that I can lock it. However I have a hard time getting it to turn on if there’s any moisture on the stove. It also will turn off easily and your not aware it turned off and dinner is now 30 minutes longer to cook. I would definitely go back to a cooktop with knobs over digital
Jun 17, 2020 18:44Works well just wish there was a way to turn off the annoying sound it makes when turning on and when adjusting temperature.
Sep 08, 2020 16:17I love this cooktop. Great quality and easy to use. Good price.
Oct 13, 2021 13:13BestBuy decided to ship an open box, had finger smudges on the surface but it didn't appear to have been installed previously.
Decided to keep it after checking full functionality. This unit is replacing an old GE Profile series cooktop, and fits precisely into the existing cutout. Works as good as the old one. The only complain is that the legend on the controls are hard to read.
Aug 21, 2018 18:47Do not like that there is only one large burner. Also fo not like the placement of the burners, but the Best Buy team came out and talks you into going with the same brand for size and guaranteed fit. Only 2 choices .. not thrilled .. but it works ok.
Oct 12, 2019 07:30Complement your single wall oven with this 30-inch Frigidaire Gallery electric cooktop. The SpaceWise flexible elements expand to accommodate a variety of cookware, and the front knobs and hot surface indicators offer safe, effortless control. The Fits-More feature of this Frigidaire Gallery electric cooktop handles multiple dishes simultaneously, and the wide range of heat output provides culinary versatility.
Very easy to use. Heats up fast. Clean, neat lines. I am still learning how to adjust the temperature settings.
Oct 31, 2021 06:35It is working well. I recommend the good people at Best Buy in Smyrna. They spent a lot fo time with me to find what I needed.
Dec 16, 2020 06:30No problems since purchase
Would highly recommend to anyone.
Oct 30, 2020 19:56The one that was delivered to me had been opened and the item wasn't new/had been installed, so I returned it.
Dec 13, 2020 11:42Cook all your family's favorites and clean up quick with a 5-burner cooktop designed to make the most of your mealtime routine. The FlexHeat™ dual radiant element gives you flexibility, while the Warm Zone element keeps food warm while you finish cooking. When dinner's done, a ceramic glass cooktop makes it easy to wipe away messes.
Work great. Ive used it for 6 month with no problem
Nov 28, 2021 07:56Cooks just fine; surface marks on element is hard to remove.The stove operates easily.
Apr 10, 2021 03:36Love it! But took too long to get in stock, I purchased it in January and I actually received by the end of March thru a second purchase and cancelled the initial one.
Oct 22, 2020 09:18Absolutely love this cook top !! I love how it matches the rest of my appliances!! This smart appliance looks so classy and elegant in our kitchen. Definitely recommend. We get compliments all the time!
Oct 25, 2020 15:18The only problem is that the vendor did not supply enough foam tape to go around the entire stove top. I had to go to a hardware store and get weather stripping to make do.
Apr 10, 2020 16:07Too long of a wait, delay after delay and you keep selling the product that you don’t have.
Oct 29, 2021 18:10Absolutely Love the whirlpool products. I have a house full of them. Best Buy always comes through with a good price.
Thank you very much !!!
Nov 16, 2018 15:59I am very happy with my stove top it’s a large size especially for me because I am always cooking I highly recommend it
Jun 26, 2020 21:44Cook dinner quickly thanks to this induction cooktop that boils water fast and offers Quick Cleanup. Also, when using dedicated cookware, optional assisted cooking features allow you to use your time more efficiently prepping other dishes.
Picked this up to replace an old coil top. The install was easy enough and daily care is a breeze. With several meals created this was a huge upgrade and has been a huge hit at home.
Aug 13, 2021 15:10This is my first induction cooktop. I’m still learning all the features, so it’s a little hard to give a solid rating. I do like that your pans heat up faster.
Jul 09, 2021 15:39Whirlpool Electric Induction Cooktop 30" works wonderful.
Dec 07, 2021 16:55Great cooktop. Worth the money. Ease of use is not always there but great when you have kids.
Nov 23, 2021 09:11Like the product I purchased, a 30” Whirlpool Induction Rangetop, but customer service was lacking. Kept getting conflicting information every time I tried to confirm what I’d been told previously.
Oct 01, 2021 18:21I am very happy with my day induction stove top. Cooks great clean great
Nov 12, 2021 16:22like it far, works very well, battery life seems to be acceptable to far, need to get the pen for it though.... and a decent case
Jun 26, 2021 20:15The Samsung Electric Cooktop offers fine tuned power to address a wide range of cooking needs. The Rapid Boil burner has precise control to make quick adjustments between boiling and a low even simmer. There's a burner for all of your needs, whether you're boiling water, melting chocolate or simmering sauce. Distinctive Blue LED Illuminated Knobs let you know if your cooktop is on, even from a distance.
To be honest, I purchased this last year so this is the 1 week after 1 year review...
Functionality, overall very good, the rear mid burner is STRONG. great for quick boil and large pans. The wireless is of zero use, does not control anything on the stove at all.
Big gripe... the knobs. A pain to clean around, too close together, should be something magnetic or easily removable AND most important, be made of metal, not just look as if they are. DO NOT PLACE A WARM POT ON TOP OF THESE KNOBS to get away from heat or make space. they MELT and they cost close to $100. each from Samsung. that's $500 for a set of 5 on a $1000. stove. Mine was out of warranty by 3 days and they would not even discuss it.
So really, the biggest grip is Samsung themselves, they are not the easiest company to deal with though their products are overall quite good. Their support is severely lacking and their opportunistic extortion is unforgivable.
Might not seem like an issue... stove knobs. Who knew! I'm sick about it and deciding whether to buy anything Samsung ever again. (which is a fair bit)
Dec 31, 2020 17:27Great value! Easy to install and keep clean. Yo will love this cooktop.
Aug 22, 2019 07:33Overall a clean, sharp stovetop. I am starting to be not very impressed with their help center!!
Oct 29, 2021 15:27As always Samsung never misses I love their products
Nov 05, 2021 18:36I love this range! Completely satisfied with my purchase!
Oct 24, 2021 11:34Purchased this back in July, can not do something as simple as boil a pot of water. We have reached out to Samsung for help over a dozen times to try to trouble shoot the issue.
Had a service tech come out, says the elements are heating properly and told us it was our pans. We bought two different sets of pans trying to resolve the issue, with no luck. Tried both aluminum core pots and solid aluminum pots per the recommendation in the users manual still with no luck.
Reached back out to both Best Buy and Samsung to try and get a refund, Best Buy says we need a RE number from Samsung in order to get a refund. Samsung refuses to issue us the RE number saying it is a service based warranty and they need to have another service call. Service call was set up, we where told after 1:00 pm that they would be out between 6:00-7:00 that night. We asked to reschedule for the next day and a service call was cancelled.
Extremely unhappy with both Best Buys return policy and Samsung's customer service.
Oct 19, 2021 10:56Bought the samsung cooktop for our new home. So far I have really enjoyed it. It heats up very quickly. Fairly easy to keep clean. I do worry about scratching the surface so I am extra careful when cooking. Otherwise this is a great product.
Mar 17, 2021 12:51very good product I have not had problems it works perfectly it is fantastic for me
May 14, 2021 16:10The Samsung electric cooktop offers fine-tuned power to address a wide range of cooking needs. There's a cooking element for all of your needs, whether you're boiling water, melting chocolate, or simmering sauce. The smooth glass ceramic surface and dishwasher-safe knobs make cleaning easy.
This is a nice little cooktop. I have been using this on a daily basis for over a month now. Installation went ok - I had some contractors install it since they were doing the kitchen. It worked with existing wiring. The cooktop is made of very delicate glass so the top is prone to scratches and damange if you are not careful. So far we are doing fine but we are being very careful. We have not tested any cooktop cleaners but plan to do that soon. Hoping that some of the shine will come back and the stains will be minimized. We have had no issues with the burners and knobs. They are all working very well.
The hotness indicator could be more efficient. The light is barely visible and it goes off inspite of the top being still hot to the touch.
Overall at this price point, the cooktop is a good value as long as you maintain it.
Jul 25, 2021 01:17best cooktop ever, heats up fast and cleans way easier than any of the other brand i had before, great value for your dollar.
Mar 14, 2021 14:15I picked this model so that my large pans would fit. Range heats quickly The only problem is keeping the look clean and shiny.
an extra chore
Jul 05, 2020 12:55Cooktop works very well, it is a little high maintenance because of the glass so it needs to be cleaned after each use to keep from staining.
Dec 02, 2020 14:32The installer arrived at the scheduled time. The job was done quickly and efficiently. The installer took the old cooktop with him.
Oct 16, 2020 16:03Its been so far a great cooktop, easy to clean and maintain.
Dec 04, 2020 17:19I bought this cooktop to replace an aging GE unit. Initially I bought a Whirlpool on sale but could not fit in the hole. I learned that Samsung is a dimensionally equivalent unit and it did fit properly.
Jul 03, 2020 22:50Love it so far. Have used a dozen times. It's in our summer home. Fits perfectly.
Sep 04, 2020 20:40The Samsung Electric Cooktop offers flexible cooking technology. Fine tuned control makes quick adjustments between rapid boil and a low, even, simmer. Enjoy the comfort of Analog-Knobs combined with the advanced technology of digital touch display. Dual burner sync control allows easy heating for long pots or griddles.
Nice cooktop. The pan sizes are good and i like the "lock" feature so it can't mistakenly be turned on by accidental touch. The sensitivity to turn it up and down with your finger could be a little better but overall no real complaints.
Nov 08, 2021 07:45Samsung 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.
Sep 03, 2021 17:34Happy with the stove top so far. Getting used to the touch surface instead of knobs. have to learn not to try to wipe the surface when cooking. It's easy to turn off the elements.
Nov 19, 2021 17:33So far so good ive owned this stove top for six months i can saw it require alot of cleaning though.
Nov 03, 2021 22:48What a great looking clean flat top to use on a dark counter top. Will be making sure my wife and girl friend takes turn on making me breakfast...mom can cook dinner.
Jun 18, 2021 17:34Nice looking but scratches easily Gave to use specific prices to clean surface…
Nov 14, 2021 13:16The quality overall is great but it makes rainbow colors stains on the glass which won’t go away with cleaning!
Jul 20, 2020 09:08High end look at a great price. The magnetic knob is nice.
Dec 18, 2020 16:08This 36" electric cooktop combines timeless style with the performance of five radiant elements, including a 10'' Even-Heat™ Ultra Power™ Element with Simmer Setting, a 6'' Even-Heat™ Elements with Melt Setting, and a 12''/9''/6'' Triple-Ring Round Element that maximizes your flexibility with three distinct rings that allow for element selection based on cookware size.
After 1 time normal reasonable use, the surface bubbled up in spots around the burner. After following proper cleaning instructions, the spots did not come out. My 20 year old former cooktop was in better shape than this one after 1 use.
Feb 02, 2021 18:12This cooktop has a nice range of heating choices that will accommodate various sizes of cookware. It heats quickly.
Nov 14, 2021 09:35Bought this to replace a 20 year old KitchenAid glass cooktop (36"). I would have thought it would be an exact fit, but it was not. This was just 1/4" too large to drop in to our granite counter opening.
The glass also shows smudges and is harder to clean than our old model, and it is harder to see the size of the cooking elements to determine which one to use.
Dec 18, 2020 18:07This KitchenAid stove top looks gorgeous and cooks well. The extra SS trim definitely adds a dramatic flair.
Be aware that the cutout dimension is slightly larger than for GE stovetops. I had the joy of cutting corian counter top. Not difficult, but incredibly messy!
Wiring was a snap. Other than the countertop cutout, the removal and installation process was less than an hour.
The differentiation between the coil areas and the remainder of the cooktop is not as dramatic as the photo or in the store. Plan on having a well lit cooking area in order to easily see the coils. I upgraded my hood lighting and added a directional celing light.
I truly like the stovetop.
Nov 19, 2021 17:35I would have given this a 5 star, except it takes too long for the elements to heat up. When they do, they work great.
Jul 03, 2020 17:46The cooktop is great in every way, but two. The first thing that annoys me is the electrical hum it makes while on. The second is the seal tape provided by the manufacturer is a joke. The important part is that it cooks well.
May 30, 2020 00:33Purchased this as a replacement for an old cracked top. Works great
Jan 01, 2021 17:29Excellent quality cooktop. With stainless steel edges integrates perfect with other kitchen appliances.
Jul 10, 2020 16:04The Samsung Induction Cooktop is the most advanced cooking technology, with an always cool cooking surface. The flexible cooktop accommodates a variety of pot and pan sizes Enjoy the comfort of Analog-Knobs combined with the advanced technology of digital touch display. Virtual Flame™ LED lights shine onto pans to give the visual of gas cooking, with the precision of induction.
It is very responsive. We like the optional knob which can be moved away when not in use which leaves the hob clear. The hob surface looks substantial and layout flexible. The virtual flame lets you know the heat is on under your pot.
Mar 12, 2021 16:22Prior to purchase I reviewed every option available in the US, and chose this unit for its features at a competitive price:
Flex zone with bridge, plus two other good sized burners, Virtual flame, Individual burner controls, high power, easy install & no ventilation needed. Great looks.
My wife loves the ease of use and cooking control, timer, and ease of cleaning.
Jan 26, 2018 17:04I’ve had this unit for almost a year now. The features on this piece are a great, the flex zone, the power boost, and melt mode. But if anybody is like me, you tend to make a little bit of a mess when you’re cooking, or a lot. For example if you’re boiling something and you pick up the lid to check and any condensation runs down off of the lid and drips onto the touch pad, it can activate a touch button or two or more, and then unit will shut itself off. It treats the liquid across the buttons as a fault and automatically shuts off the burners. So if you’re cooking more than one thing at varying temperatures, for example, you have to know where you left off because it just cleared all the settings you had. And if it doesn’t shut off, the water droplets can actually change the sitting on the keypad. So if you have it set at seven for example, and you pick up the lid and it drips onto the keypad somewhere, picking up the temperature or lower the temperature so changing from 7 to 12 or 4. I called Samsung to treat this as a warranty issue. They sent somebody out and replaced the board. It does the exact same thing. The technician took a video and send it to Samsung and said that’s just the way it works. I can re-create this problem anytime and every time. It is very frustrating to be in the middle of cooking and because you dropped condensation across the keypad it can completely shuts everything off. It seems to be almost too smart for Its own good and there’s no fix for it. Also the timer on the front is almost useless. The volume is so low you don’t even know when it went off. The picture attached is the air code that you would get during a “multi-button touch fault”.
Also, the “Child lock” feature can be overridden by same method. If you lock the buttons, just put a few drops of water on the touchpad and viola, the “Safety” lock has been turned off. Again, i showed the tech representing Samsung, “nothing they can do about it”.
I can trigger this fault by fluid on the pad, a finger that touches more than one button at a time, a metal utensil/object across multiple buttons. I trigger the fault everyone I clean it. It is way too sensitive for my liking. In the middle of Thanksgiving, multiple burners going, and to check my smashed-taters, condensation drips on the pad and shuts off the gravy on one burner, the green beans on another and the simmering honey butter. To turn the stove back on, you have to completely clean the touchpad. No other button will work if faulted. Whole lotta fancy for something like this to get by QC. Not cool Samsung.
Jan 30, 2019 19:36I've owned induction cooktops in the past. This one is very easy to use. I like the virtual flame feature. And, the registration of the pots is immediate. The movable/optional knob is interesting, but overall very smooth in its use. It feels like a mechanical knob.
Sep 28, 2018 15:55Can’t recommend this cooktop. Out of the box worked two days then would not turn on. Took 3 weeks for warranty repair. Once repair completed cooktop worked for two days and then again would not turn on. When it did work the knob was sketchy and doesn’t control temp well. Using finger is awkward and inconsistent. Have waited another 3 weeks for warranty repair service call. Repairman did not show up. Just a poor experience all around. Buy something else.
Jun 30, 2021 17:20Beautiful Samsung cook top very attractive. High tech cooking at its finest. If you haven't used an induction burner you need to try it. It will change the way you cook. Takes a little time to get used to but you will love it. Definitely recommend!!!
Mar 29, 2019 16:39Knob doesn’t work very well. Finger works better. ….
Oct 01, 2021 18:03Stylish. 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.
