Game-Changer!

I’ve had this Cooktop for one months, and it’s absolutely transformed my cooking experience. This is my first time using induction & what blew me away was the speed: water boils in under a minute & controlling the temperature is so precise and responds immediately. Cleanup is also easy - can wipe away messes and the cooktop still looks like new. The matte black finish also looks stunning against my countertops!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Extremely disappointed/burner stopped working
on November 6, 2025
Posted by: Chloe
from Naperville. IL
My Samsung induction cooktop (Model NZ36C3060UK/AA) stopped working properly about a week ago. The center burner no longer responds — it doesn’t heat at all, while all other burners work fine.
I’ve already tried everything I could: turned the circuit breaker off and on, cleaned the cooktop thoroughly, and let it cool for several days. Still completely dead. After searching on Google and ChatGPT, I found out this is a very common issue with Samsung induction cooktops — apparently, the internal circuit or power board just fails for no reason.
This is now the second Samsung appliance to break in only 1.5 years. My Samsung dishwasher already failed and I replaced it with a Bosch — no problems since. I honestly had no idea Samsung made such unreliable appliances. Now I’m worried about my Samsung refrigerator, oven, and microwave too.
I’m beyond frustrated and disappointed. I trusted Samsung and replaced all my home appliances with their products, but this experience has been nothing but disappointing. Please let me know if this can be covered under a goodwill repair, or advise on the repair process and estimated cost.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Induction newbie

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Coming from a standard glass top electric stove to induction was quite the twist but I’m learning quickly the do’s and don’t the speed to heat is phenomenal but at the same time some of the cast iron stuff needs a gradual rise overall I’m very happy but have some education to gain from this stovetop
I would recommend this to a friend!

Glass cooktop review
on February 1, 2026
Posted by: New home owner
from Sequim, WA
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The product works as advertised. But, I would prefer 2 large and 2 small elements/burners like older stoves, instead of one huge, 2 small and one XS on this model. Can’t beat the ease of cleanup though.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great Cooktop Sleek Style and Elegant
on November 1, 2025

from Florida
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I real like the flexibility with the different size burners. The controls are easy to operate and temperature control is great. The surface is easy to clean and I put a silicon mat on when the stove is not in use. This is my first induction cooktop and I really like the temperature control.
I would recommend this to a friend!
