I really wanted to like it.
on August 27, 2026
Posted by: Speltfarmer76
Conceptually induction is wonderful, but this cooktop has been a severe disappointment. I cook daily, the functionality is/was horrible.
Reading another review leads me to believe perhaps the size sensing system never worked. Either way, no matter what cookware was used it ended up with the center hot and the outer extent cold.
The touch control is absolute garbage. Wet fingers? Won't work. Pot foams over? Shuts off/won't work until spotlessly dried. Boiling pot spits out a drop? Controls go haywire.
The final nail in the coffin for this thing is that it cracked yesterday. I was simmering something on the center burner, then there was the sound of cracking glass. It split completely across the top.
After several years of fighting with this thing I am done with it. Time to sacrifice the top cabinet drawer and go back to gas cooking.

Auto Sizing Pan Detection
on May 21, 2026
Posted by: JavierS
After our “Pan Detection” sensor failed on the main burner for the first Frigidaire induction cooktop we bought just 4-5 years ago, we decided to replace it with this one, which is the “newer” version of the one we had, practically identical. We finally had it installed after some waiting due to it being on backorder and all seemed good until I decided to confirm the Auto Sizing Pan Detection was working after a pair of steaks on a cast iron pan cooked very unevenly…and to my surprise the Auto Sizing Pan Detection is not working on either of the 2 larger burners. In the pic you’ll see a full-size induction ready pan that covers the entire heating element surface, I filled it with a layer of water, and as you can see only the small inside induction ring is activating (I repeated the test with a full size cast iron pan and had the same result). So, I essentially have a brand new 36” cooktop that I can only cook on with little pans.
Sadly, I did this test literally 32 days after purchasing it, big mistake (check this on day of delivery with the installer there). Best buy sent me to Frigidaire to work through it under Frigidaire’s warranty. After a few days of dealing with that, Frigidaire sent out a 3rd part repair tech a week later. He came, confirmed that stove top was not working, and said they would get back to me (this is day 41 after installation). We are now on day 52 after installation and have not heard back from either Frigidaire or the 3rd party tech. When I called Frigidaire they instructed me to keep working with the other company, and the other company is telling me they’ll get back to me.

Not great
on January 11, 2025
Posted by: Sbc1234
We were quite limited which what would fit into the counter opening and this was one of the few options.
It heats up quick but other than that I honestly do not like it. The big burners feel like they only heat half of the burner so my food cooks unevenly and I have to constantly rotate the pan.
The touch buttons are terrible. They are often non responsive even when they’re clean/dry but every time something else touches the touch surface, it starts beeping and turns itself off. A drop of water drips from a lid? You have to dry it up immediately or otherwise it turns everything off within 5 seconds. It’s very frustrating and I’m getting to a point where I’m ready to replace it after using it for only 6 month.
