24 Best Induction Cooktop For Cast Iron (2022 Updated)

IšverstiShow in original languageJust got it installed in my son’s apartment. I barely cook before. But since my son works busy, I must cook for him now. I think I will enjoy cooking in the future. Beacause this cooktop get hot instantly, it can get water boils in 3 minute.

Which can help me cooks more quickly. I often fried steak and cook pasta at once. Almost 0 residual heat from the coils, un- like on a burner, keeps house cool, and is also safer for kids being around the kitchen.

This cooktop requires magnetic cookware, like stainless-iron-or some other induction ready cookware, but induction cooking is faster and more accurate then gas cooktop and radiant cooktop. Very happy with the purchase.

we are enjoy using it. love the black ceramic surface. it is non-scratch,and very easy to clean. Highly recommend !.

IšverstiShow in original languageThe main (selectable size) heating element / burner in my existing major brand-name cooktop went bad. For the price of the element, two other components that would have been needed, and shipping, it was almost as much as this entire cooktop.

So, I took a gamble and decided to purchase this induction cooktop. Glad I did. Almost a year later, it is still working flawlessly. Just make sure your cookware is induction compatible. Not all of our was, be we knew that ahead of time.

Works excellent with our stainless cookware and cast iron. 4X less expensive than big name brands! Works excellent and very happy with purchase!.

IšverstiShow in original languageThis is an early review occasioned by satisfaction with the product. A few months ago we bought a 36” Empava cooktop from Amazon. It was easily the worst experience ever encountered with Amazon and certainly with the manufacturer.

It was badly handled in almost every way and it is not yet over with a pending return of the second defective unit shipped by Amazon. Then we searched on google and found this one. In comparison thus far the Sincreative cooktop is outstanding.

The controls are easy to manipulate. The power is acceptable. Installation was simple. I would recommend this item to everyone.

IšverstiShow in original languageThe cooktop is easy to install and heats foods faster than any gas or electric cooktop I have ever used. The 5 star rating though, is for customer support. The cooktop kept giving an E5 code meaning the fan was not working.

I would have to turn off the main power supply to reboot to be able to cook. When I contacted the supplier, they asked me to try turning off the main power supply again and see if the fan would come on.

When it did not, they immediately sent a new cooktop.

IšverstiShow in original languageI started using Nuwave induction cooktops in 2006, two years after they first were introduced to the market. I first purchased 2 of the base units and they were used usually twice daily.

They lasted about 7-8 years. After that, I upgraded to the Pro and now the Gold. You might be surprised to know that you can put a HUGE, 23 Qt pressure canner on these units; CAREFULLY, and set them to SEAR, and have them heat up in no time flat.

I’m not sure what the weight limit is on the surface, but I’ve been using them the last 2 years for canning, without any problems. You will need a 20 amp circuit per cooktop, if you are running 2 for canning.

When I say canning; food preservation, I mean a LOT of food. We live on a homestead and are Pescitarians and grow all our food for a full year. So these induction cooktops get a good workout. Why induction cooktops? They are awesome for precision cooking.

Once you start using one, EVERYTHING comes out perfect. Why? It’s the precision watts in combination with the small increments in temperatures. You can make the perfect omelet and eggs over easy, every time.

Fabulous delicate sauces, and even sear your vegetarian “meats,” like TVP-based goodies that are loaded with a lot of herbs for flavor. I highly recommend the NuWave PIC Gold and other NuWave induction cooktops that have the 3 WATT settings.

They are awesome!.

IšverstiShow in original languageI’ve had mine for several years and love it! Iron ware, enameled ware, stainless steel, anything a magnet sticks to, and cookware with induction plates work really great.

Aluminum does not. I love the timer, the range of temperatures which is I believe greater than any other brand cooktop. Unless it is set beyond, I found mine shuts off after 60 minutes. Mine is beginning to go out.

I will be getting another soon. An egg covered in water, set on 1500 watts, 275⁰ for 12 minutes, is soft boiled exactly to my taste. I’m still experimenting in addition to using my cookbook, and enjoying all the possibilities.

A 9-inch skillet came with it, but I use a 10-inch skillet, a 4-quart enameled pot, and all stainless steel pots frequently and successfully!.

IšverstiShow in original languageThe best investment I ever made for the kitchen. I have had mine for 10 years. The programmable feature is essential for me. I set it at a high temperature for a few minutes and then schedule it to lower the temperature for the time required and walk away.

I can rely it will cook as programmed and when I come back my food will be ready (even when I forget it). To my knowledge other cooktops of this type do not have this programmable feature. Very reliable and I would never buy a stove again.

These cooktops are efficient and easy to put where I need them. Can even take them to a potluck to cook or keep my food warm. Use them several times a day and am delighted with the results every time.

A great gift too for dear friends. Can’t say enough about NuWave-Pic. It has improved my cooking results tremendously.

I bought this unit back in September 2019, and while it’s not perfect (see below), it is without doubt one of the best purchases I’ve ever. It is STILL the only unit I know of that has 5°(C) temperature increments – which means you can keep stuff on a very low simmer – and also the only one I’ve seen that allows you to control both temperature AND power separately.

Coupled to that, the 99-hour timer means that you can use it like a slow cooker for stews and soups, while the instant “off” aspect of induction makes it equally good for frying and popcorn. Build quality is reasonable for the price, but there’s a lot of plastic outside the glass top.

It’s also lighter than many of the pots you’ll put on it, so my advice is to put some non-slip pads under each of the three feet. Also: make sure the surface is flat and hard because there isn’t much clearance between it and the fan at the bottom.

The fact that it’s round is a real bonus, because it’s just like a regular hob. Most competitors are square. OK, now for the bad. I should add that none of these are showstoppers (for me anyway): 1. The fan is very loud.

2. The “boil-over” cutout simply doesn’t work, so don’t rely on it. 3. I wish it was a bit heavier. You really need pads to keep it in place. 4. Temperature control is iffy for covered saucepans. You need to turn it down below 80° before they stop boiling hard.

5. The switch panel suffers from not being made of glass. It’s a real shame that the life of this hob is compromised by something so trivial, which for an extra £5 could probably have been made to last 20 years.

In my case, I only noticed it when one of my saucepans boiled over and the unit stopped working completely. It was only then I discovered that almost every heavily used switch had cracked, and in a couple of places had holes which had obviously let liquid in.

The trouble is that the cracks are very difficult to spot because the whole area is black. That said, I’ve used it constantly for nearly 4 years now; and within 48 hours it had dried out enough to start working again.

I’ve now put waterproof tape over all the affected buttons, but for new buyers I’d suggest putting something like Fablon over the whole keypad before you use it too much. Verdict: A few minor gripes, but outstanding value for money nonetheless.

IšverstiShow in original languageWe love this cooktop. Our original coil cooktop bit the dust in Oct and we had been in cooktop hell for 3 month. It took us until January dealing with several different retailers to actually have a working cooktop again.

We replaced the original with a low end regular glass cooktop which did not have enough power to boil water. We returned it and purchased another higher quality one which did not fit into our counter top even though the dimensions should have worked.

We returned that also. We had never used induction before so we were somewhat cautious about the investment as it meant replacing most or our cookware. On recommendation of several neighbors, we thought we would try it.

We are very glad we did even though there is a learning curve to using induction because the timing of cooking is somewhat different. After a lot of research, we settled on this one. Home Depots website was very helpful.

There is more than enough power for high temperature cooking and large volume boiling–the Power Boil on all the elements is excellent. The cooktop dropped into our counter perfectly so it fit exactly as the measurements were listed.

It was the auto sizing of the elements that sold us on this particular model. Many other brands and models seemed to be VERY specific about the size of pots and pans that could work on their elements and all the elements on this one work well for various sizes.

Also, we especially like the precision you get with the temperature settings and the fact that the change in temperature is immediately. The ease in cleaning is fabulous. One thing to make note of is that this appliance comes with aluminum wiring and most homes now have copper.

Proper connection between the two is necessary. We are very pleased with this Fridgedaire product and with Home Depot as the supplier.

IšverstiShow in original languageWe bought this cooktop 5 months ago and love it! All the benefits of induction ring true. Heats fast, power easily controlled, and no scorching overflows onto cooktop.

I have not had to scrape anything off the cooktop since we purchased it. Wet paper towel has kept it clean! To address the cons: Noise – It does make a hum especially when using the boost or power feature, but its one of those things you get used to and is not a big deal.

Touch controls – This is a bit of an annoyance. Sometimes if you move the pan or set some ingredients you are about to add near/on the controls, all burners get turned off. Usually you don’t realize it until your pan has cooled.

We are getting better at avoiding this issue, but it is sometimes hard to prevent. Last issue we are currently dealing with is the glass top broke. It is weird, when looking around the edge, their is a small (1/2 mm) gap between the glass and the support that the cooktop sits on.

We had a plate fall, striking the edge, chipping the glass and creating a crack across the cooktop. Fortunately, the cooktop is under warranty and Frigidaire sent someone out to look at it. We are currently waiting on replacement glass top to come in for the final repair.

Frigidaire and the service company has been very responsive! I only wish there was a trim ring to protect the edge or support it from underneath better to prevent this from happening. Overall we still love it and won’t ever go back to a standard electric cooktop again!.

IšverstiShow in original languageI purchased my induction cooktop on 6/27/2021. I didn’t receive it until July 2021. In the year that I had it, we would occasionally get the “E9” error message. When we did, we shut off the power to the cooktop and then back on after a minute and that “fixed” it.

In September 2022 this happened again but nothing we did would make “E9” go away. I called customer service and was told that i was just outside of the warranty window and they referred me to repair companies.

The repair person I use told me I likely need a new board and burner which would cost $530 for the parts alone, not counting the labor. I spent $720 this cooktop, so fixing it won’t be worth it. I feel cheated by Frigidaire.

I thought this was a brand name that was reliable. Is there anything more that can be done for me?.

We were delighted that the learning curve in moving from propane to induction wasn’t nearly as scary as some predicted. Still fine-tuning what settings for simmers and for certain dishes. We were fortunate to have a near-total fleet of All-Clad stainless pots and pans and LeCreuset Dutch ovens and multiple cast iron skillets.

Only had two pans that didn’t make the jump to induction. Keeping the cooktop clean is one of the simplest kitchen chores now. Before we spent far too much time dismantling the gas cooktop and scrubbing the grates and scouring the stainless steel.

Clean-up is a snap. We use the recommended Bosch paste for anything that a damp cloth doesn’t take off. One of the added benefits. our stainless steel pots and pans stay sparklingly clean. No more flame-produced grime on the underside.

We have solar panels on the roof, a battery back-up system, a heat-pump hot water system. The induction cooktop was the logical next purchase. Just wish we’d done it sooner.

Unfortunately we have had a disappointing experience with our NITP068UC induction cooktop. The one we received is a poor quality product. It has been used no more than a dozen times since it was purchased and has failed completely.

The official Bosch Service tech was here today and indicates it is because one or 2 internal control boards have failed and the cost of each is $600-$800. This is not the quality workmanship and engineering we expected from a Bosch product.

We built the unit at the Ritz Residence in Philadelphia and installed all Bosch products. It seems like a poor decision now. Very disappointed in this product and not happy that we now have to be concerned with the stove, microwave and dishwasher.

Hard to imagine purchasing another Bosch product.

Functions well but scratches easily. It was the first I used that large burner with my AllClad wok. The bottom of my wok is not rough, but still left some fine scratches. I am super disappointed with Bosch.

I replaced my perfect fine Dacor radiant cooktop to go induction. After many many years of using the Dacor, not a single scratch. I used the same set of AllClad cookware. I am now very afraid of cooking on this cooktop.

I have been using a piece of paper towel between the cooktop and the pan when I cook to prevent scratches, which is super annoying and users should have to resort to. Disappointed!!.

It boiled water just as fast as gas (I did a test of 1 cup water on both at the same time). Downside: if you have an old house with 2 electric lines, I suggest you get out your “map” of what’s on what fuse, because you’ll pop a breaker/fuse like I did, on the 2nd use.

It was an older model, but they were kept inside (not in an attic/garage or basement) and never used. I might have turned the microwave on or possibly had a small air heater on (Costco). Not sure. I wanted to bring it camping, but again, you won’t have an inverter that won’t blow a fuse or melt something in the lower cost end of the scale, so there’s no way that’ll work.

Kind of annoying, now I need a small propane grill. I liked it when it works. It’s DEFINITELY NOT any faster than a gas stove, tho. Sorry. I remember the commercials saying it is. That’s a lie. Solution, gaff tape on the outlet as a stupid proof reminder.

No worries, I’ve seen professional electronics engineers do things just like that. Lol.

IšverstiShow in original languageI’ve been wanting to stop using my gas burners because a lot of my family has a tendency to boil water for pasta, just make their own meal, and that is really not good use of natural gas.

Finally bit the bullet and bought this and the whole house loves it. It’s very lightweight, I store it in a drawer. We actually haven’t used the stove top since I got this. So after a month of use, the pros are that cleans up extremely easily, Works rapidly, stays cool and saves money.

The cons: requires some fiddling to get the proper temperature especially for simmering, and the fan is noisy. As a side note imho if you don’t have the proper cookware to use with this Appliance, you got the wrong pots and pans :-).

IšverstiShow in original languageI?ve owned induction cooktops in prior residence and love the way they perform. Current residence does not have this clean and precise way of cooking. I purchased this portable cooktop to supplement my cooking appliances to enjoy the ease of cooking.

This portable is not intuitive. I?ve used it a couple of times and the touch functions seems to cook to fast and temperatures are not controlled or calibrated. Will do further research to troubleshoot the problems.

IšverstiShow in original languageI purchased my first Duxtop induction cooktop over one year ago to use on our sailing yacht, I recently purchased my second one because I can’t live without it at home.

It’s perfect for the boat because it’s very safe – there are no flames, no heat coming off the cooktop, easily selectable temperature, a timer, and super easy to clean. It rapidly gets pots/pans up to temperature.

The cooktop doesn’t get hot, just the pot/pan gets hot. You can put a pot of water halfway on the cooktop and get water boiling and put your hand on the other half of the cooktop and it’s not hot. The 140 degree setting is perfect for keeping a pot of chilli or green beans or whatever warm at the correct temperature so food is in the “safe” temperature range.

I use the 180 degree setting with a large pot on top when I need an extra crock pot and something is going to slow cook for a long time. The 210 degree setting is perfect when you want to boil – it’s not a rapid boil – just a slow boil like cooking chilli for hours without it boiling over or burning on the bottom of the pot.

It’s nice when cooking something like eggs or fish – if you see the food is cooking too quickly then just push the “minus” button a couple times to reduce the cooking temperature so you don’t burn the food, or when it’snearly done and it’s going to be another 10-15 minutes before your family gets to the table then just turn the temperature down to increase the cooking time.

If you are melting butter or cooking something delicate then temperature selections below 250 degrees are perfect. If you want a good sear on a steak or pork chop then turn it up to 460 degrees – be careful because it gets up to temperature quickly.

I use this cooktop nearly every day, it’s so much better than using a conventional kitchen stove. My kitchen has a top of the line GE five burner gas stove and a Jenn-Air electric stove. I still prefer this Duxtop cooker most of the time.

It’s seems to be very well made, I don’t know why it doesn’t cost more (an old time friend who is a GE employee tells me it’s really old technology). Realize before purchasing any induction cooktop that your old pots and pans probably will not work.

Generally, if a magnet will not stick to the bottom of the pot/pan then it will not work. There are now aluminum pots/pans with steel enveloped in the bottom that work well. One time in a pinch I put a 9×9 steel brownie pan (with some water in it) on the cooktop and then put my old aluminum (expensive) pan in that 9×9 pan – perfect for melting chocolate.

The only potential drawback is thesafety feature of it staying on for only 170 minutes. That’s only an issue if I am using it like a slow cooker and want it to run for 4-6 hours. I just have to remember after 170 minutes to turn it on again.

I always recommend this to my friends – it’s a useful and wonderful addition to any kitchen. Dr. Bob ps – I just purchased one of those copper coated frying pans from a tv advertisement and it works really well.

IšverstiShow in original languageI really like this Duxtop 8100MC product and would have given it a 5 star rating, except I bought it primarily to use for hot pot dinners and the fan is way too noisy and irritating to put it on a dining table with guests sitting around it.

Other than that it had great power and fine enough control for me (temperature, heating, and timer) and I liked the controls, size, and portability. I did some test hot pot cooking with it and really liked how it worked for cooking.

From reviews I read before buying this portable induction burner, the fan noise is apparently a fairly common problem with many brands, but as highly rated as this one seemed to be I was hoping the noise level was tolerable.

In the kitchen with other noise around it is tolerable (though still louder than I like it), and probably would be fine for use outside camping as well, but not in a dining room setting. They can make quiet, high volume fans for PCs, so why not for induction burners? I ended up returning the product and am still looking for one that is quieter, decent quality, and not several hundred dollars.

Very disappointing.

IšverstiShow in original languageAs described. This is a single burner induction stand alone cooktop. It heats quickly and is accurate. Induction cooktops only work on pans that are ferromagnetic, so iron, stainless steel, but not aluminum and my copper bottom Revere Ware pots do not heat up on it.

IšverstiShow in original languageI purchased on line at Best Buy the Empava #IDC12 Cooktop and the quality and finish look amazing! Out of the box i tried it and the front burner has not working and I contacted Empava customer service through the best buy website and spoke to them to explain my issue and I sent a video of the error code.

They responded immediately and after a few exchanges they sent me a new one and I was so happy with their service. I tried it and it works perfectly. If you are looking for an affordable cooktop option with no sacrifice in quality then I recommend this unit.

Its easy to install and you can use it like I did my cutting out a hole in the counter as per the specs in the instruction manual and just drop it in and Voila,,your ready to cook, or it has 4 legs to be used on top of the counter.

Thank you Empava customer service for a great product and great support.

IšverstiShow in original languageWe have an Electrolux hybrid cooktop, half radiant half induction. It works really well but we hadn’t been sure about induction. Now we wanted to jump in and get a full induction cooktop.

I thought the Empava sounded perfect. Particularly the burner sizes. Unfortunately this cooktop is very bad in ways I didn’t realize a cooktop could be bad. The difference between the Electrolux and this cooktop is huge.

This device is not worth it. 1) The biggest issue. Empava advertises their main burner to be 10″. This is deceptive at best. As shown in the associated photo, this burner is no more than 6″. They simply draw a BIG circle around a tiny burner and call it a 10″ burner.

Not cool. I’m not sure any of the burners in the cooktop are really any bigger than 6″. Its just the drawn circle size that changes. In the picture you can see water boiling in a 12″ pan (with 10″ base) only in a small tight circle at best 6″ across.

On our Electrolux, the entire bottom of the pan would be boiling on its 10″ burner. This is completely deceptive and unacceptable. It’s scary as well that this cooktop seems to be sold under many different brand names such as Forno, True Induction, etc.

,, and sold through many reputable outlets. 2) Another issue with this cooktop is the evenness of heating. Inductioncooktops typically have a max burner power output, then modify the generated square wave shortening the on portions to reduce power.

But at some point the power amplifier can’t make the on portion any shorter. Induction cooktops at low power settings then resort to turning the burner on and off for seconds at a time. Our Electrolux does an on/off cycle in about 2-2.

5 seconds. Thats fairly quick and most cookware will even out the temperature change so you don’t notice it. The Empava however does an VERY long 10 second cycle. At low power it may be on for 1 second at 1000 watts when off for 9 seconds.

1000 watts is a lot. Enough that even 1 second of 1000 watts can be enough to start food boiling. The end result is an inability to simmer without burning or boiling. Again, decent induction cooktops cycle on and off more frequently with great temperature control that can be used even to melt chocolate.

Not this cooktop. 3) The third main issue, somewhat similar to the second. With induction technology its fairly simple to generate high power. All manufacturers make a big deal about how fast you can boil water.

But the technology makes that very simple. The hard part is reducing that power. Most cooking isn’t done at a raging boil. Its often levels of simmering. The 9 power levels of this cooktop are spaced in a way that does not make sense.

Maybe as a developer it made sense, not for someone cooking. The Forno equivalent cooktop lists actual watts for each power level. The Empava seems to match it fairly well. Ideally power levels should keep increasing at a similar rate.

However the Empava does not. As an extreme example, on the smallest burner, power level 1 = 100 watts, while level 3 = 300 watts. Going from power level 3 is 300% as much as power level 1, or 200% additional power.

However going from level 6 (1000 watts) to level 8 (1200) watts is only 20% more power. The end result is a bunch of power levels which in practice are almost the same, and almost no ability to control low power simmering.

The end result is that it is very difficult if not impossible to do a good job of low power simmering. By the way, there’s also a problem with L or keep warm setting. On our cooktop, this results in a fast boil for ~5 seconds then off for 5.

Its MUCH higher setting than 1, or even 2. More like 3 or 4. Seems like a firmware bug. Other comments, The cooktop looks nice, but looks are deceiving. Each burner has its own fan which is pretty noisy.

Get them all going and its quite a racket. Again I didn’t realize this would vary much between models. Our new Frigidaire is completely silent, no fans at all, at low power settings. And when the fans do kick in, its barely audible.

Construction looks like it is not meant to be repairable. The glass top is apparently sealed or the metal base and cannot be easily removed. Further background: The cooktop we received had the glass top cracked during shipment.

This did not affect its performance. It was fully functional but we returned it. We ended up buying an prior model Frigidaire induction cooktop. It performs similar to our Electrolux (same company) except with 4 induction burners.

Very happy with it and definitely worth the extra money.

IšverstiShow in original languageBeautiful cook top. Love that there are NO knobs to clean under! The only downsides for me are the seals along the edges are a little thicker than my past two stove tops leaving a gap between the stove and countertop instead of a seamless look so there is a gap now for crumbs to fall into.

Also according to the instructions I’ve read it looks like you can’t run more than one burner on the high power mode at a time that are zoned together but everything does get much hotter faster than I’m used to with electric so maybe that will be a non issue.

Overall though so far I’m very happy with the purchase especially for the price.

IšverstiShow in original languageI don’t know why I didn’t get one of these a long time ago ! This uses a lot less electric than my stove and don’t produce the heat my stove does, if something is cooking too hard just turn the temp down and instantly it goes down.

This is a must for any household. It’s a snap to just wipe off if something gets on it and you can just unplug it and store it. but why would you want to. If your thinking about getting one of these, think no longer and get the most amazing cooking devices ever made!.

IšverstiShow in original languageThis is a replacement for my three-year old one which is ailing. They cook beautifully, but after a couple years of heavy-duty work, the plastic starts to come off the buttons.

Still works, but at this price, it’s better to replace the thing. $30 per year (or. 08 cents a day) is a pretty good deal! PLUS – you can take the thing with you, if need be; they’re great in RV’s, or anywhere.

Cooks faster, more accurately and much cleaner than a range.

IšverstiShow in original languageThis is the best of the “burners. ” The manufacturer calls these “cooktops,” but I call these “burners” because they are not built into cabinetry. I owned 2 actual built-in induction cooktops and 3 styles of induction “burners.

” This is the best of induction “burners. ” I have 4 of these induction “burners” now and have given away the 2 that were from GE and Trueco. Best on Earth would be if I could have these burners built into cabinetry!.

I confirm I’ve written a review of my purchased induction range or cooktop on samsung. com including the statement “I received compensation for this review but the review is my own”. * I do not wish to write a review, especially not so soon after receiving the product.

However, it is required to redeem part of a promotion. I have been instructed to edit my review because it was too focused on the fulfillment of the order. I have added more details below. I was able to find one pan at the store.

When I cooked with it, the pan was heated to an adequate level and the food was made edible. It boiled water at an acceptable rate. It was shiny, and also black. The cooking surface is difficult to keep clean from fingerprints.

The touch area could use an oleophobic coating. The drone of the magnets is much louder with this unit than comparable units from other brands. It does have a 3800 watt burner in the middle, which is as good or better than any other wattage available in similar sized units.

However, the value does not meet the MSRP. Or most sale prices. Other items from competitors are just as capable for less money. The only thing you miss out on at a lower price point is wifi, which seems to do very little for the user experience.

We had an old electric cooktop (non-induction) that broke and we replaced it with this Samsung Smart Induction Cooktop. Induction cooking is the future folks! It warms the food extremely fast and you can precisely control the temperature.

When lowering the temp, it almost immediately responds. Because it is so fast, you’ll have to alter your cooking accordingly; as you’ll spend less time waiting for water to boil and such. Also note that since it is induction you may need new cookware.

We had to get rid of some old pans. Pairing the cooktop to the WiFi and SmartThings was very simple and easy. I can view the status of the cooktop on my phone and enable/disable child protection. That is all that you can do via the phone.

If you want to take your cooking to another level, you have to try induction cooking, it is amazing. I also recommend getting Cerama Bryte cooktop cleaner, it’s great for keeping the cooktop as spotless as possible.

Depending on how you cook, keeping the cooktop clean can be a hassle, as it is more apparent on the surface.

i received compensation for this review but the review is my own. We previously owned a Kenmore Induction cooktop that we had for several years. One morning it just quit working. We started looking for a replacement that was just black and no stainless steel trim around it.

We also wanted just the outline of the burners to show. We liked the looks of the Samsung and purchased it. It arrived within a week. (Our other concern was getting one in a reasonable amount of time.

) We had it installed and turned it on. Everything worked. Our old cooktop had a temperature control for each burner. On the Samsung, you just pick your burner and then go to a common area on the cooktop to control the temperature.

There is also a simmer and boost button that work well too. We have had no issues.

TraduciMostra in lingua originaleJeżeli chodzi o samo działanie płyty, to bez zarzutu. Wygodny i funkcjonalny jest również rozstaw palników. Dużym minusem natomiast jest jakość namalowanych oznaczeń na panelu z pokrętłami.

Po niespełna dwumiesięcznym używaniu płyty gazowej prawie wszystkie oznaczenia (kółeczka wskazujące który palnik włączyć) starły się. Chcę zaznaczyć, że do mycia płyty używałam miękkiej ściereczki i wskazanych w instrukcji środków do.

mycia. Z drugiej strony naklejki instruktażowej, znajdującej się w prawym, dolnym rogu nie da się usunąć jest tak mocno przyklejona, a nie jest żadną ozdobą i chcielibyśmy ją zdjąć, bo psuje wygląd. Płyta gazowa jest sprzętem, który wymaga częstego mycia i ma częsty kontakt podczas gotowania z różnymi substancjami, dlatego uważam że jakość materiałów, z których jest wykonana powinna być dostosowana do specyfiki i przeznaczenia urządzenia.

Jestem rozczarowana jakością tego produktu.

TraduciMostra in lingua originalePłytę użytkujemy już ponad 4 miesiące, więc chyba mogę parę rzeczy o niej napisać. Na początek wygląd – tu trudno się do czegoś doczepić, zdecydowanie pierwsza setka płyt na rynku.

Największy szał – wirtualny płomień widen jest głównie przy wyłączonym świetle. Jak ktoś chce zaskoczyć gości, to proponuję białą płytę konkurencji, np elektorluxa – będzie bardziej wow. Poziom grzania jest ok, regulacja na 15 pozycji daje niezłą swobodę, choć oczywiście gaz to to nie jest.

Największy mankament. Płyta wyje. ona nie jest głośna, ona wyje i to przy jednym polu włączonym na 60-70%. W tym względzie jest to ogromne rozczarowanie i nawet moja żona, fanka firm koreańskich (choć powoli sie na szczęście z tego leczy) mówi, że nigdy więcej samsunga.

Stary Bosh wypadał o wiele lepiej. Czy więc poleciłbym komuś zakup płyty NZ64N9777GK? Tak, ale do 1000zł. Za 3000zł można kupić zdecydowanie lepsze płyty.

IšverstiShow in original languageThis is faster than my GE Profile induction we replaced. Mine did not come with the included griddle, came with a smart frying pan. Everything I’ve read and seen shows the included griddle- including my owner’s manual.

Adjusting the temp with the arc touch feature doesn’t work very well, but there are plus and minus buttons that get the job done. There are 20 heat settings per burner. There are custom options, such as auto lock and noise control, that the owner’s manual gives instructions for.

I’m not fond of the smart cooking thing, I don’t see a need for it but because profiles are indefinitely backordered we were forced to go with the monogram (our cut out is a very specific size and could only fit the black profile or the monogram which are the same exact size.

).

TraduciMostra in lingua originaleI have bought this model because it had largest pot size cooking area. However upon installation I have noticed that the glass cooktop was bowing upwards at the front and back ends.

I requested the replacement and Winning Appliances had very quickly arranged replacement to be delivered. This however did not change the problem. The glass cooktop still bowed the same way as the first one.

The customer service was unable to provide any further solutions. I decided to keep the cooktop as I do not trust the third cooktop to be any different. The cooktop looks unsightly, and really spoils the perfect kitchen feel in my newly built home.

Very Disappointed as I expected perfection after paying 2000 dollars for it. Another problem which I have encountered – was an installation. I have booked the installation ($280 fee) with trained technician from winning appliances to have the cooktop installed as required by Siemens.

When they arrived – they advised me that they do not use thermal – resistant adhesive (as required in the installation manual by Siemens) but instead they just use kitchen silicone to attach fitting rails to my granite bench top.

Now, Siemens clearly states that it has to be done with special adhesive but both times the technicians, to whom I paid money to have it professionally installed, had done it not according to the installation manual.

Very, very disappointed!!! What did I pay 280 dollars for? I could slap it on with some silicone all by myself. I wish I could attach pictures here to illustrate my point. 3 stars overall.

TraduciMostra in lingua originaleEstoy encantado. Es extremadamente fácil de utilizar, muy silenciosa (solo he escuchado una especie de ventilador después de tener puesto el boost un rato). La función de calentamiento de aceite es muy cómoda; tiene 5 niveles, eliges el que quieres y no te quema el aceite, te lo mantiene a esa temperatura.

Llevo con ella una semana, no puedo decir mucho más, pero por ahora estoy muy contento.

TraduciMostra in lingua originaleAs a long-time gas cooking fan, it was with a little bit of reluctance that I switched to Induction, but I have been converted. Very easy to use and so easy to clean.

I love the super fast heating boost. The temperature is very responsive and once you have worked out the temperature levels, you’ll be on your way. I highly recommend.

IšverstiShow in original languageThis is our first induction stove top. Our beautiful gas stove finally gave up the ghost and I was hesitant to go back to electric. After reading up on the effects of natural gas fumes on the environment and in the home, we decided to try electric induction.

So far, it has exceeded expectations. My main hesitation with electric was the slower rate of heating up vs. gas. You can put that concern aside, though! I have performed several highly scientific 🙂 demonstrations for friends and family showing how fast a sauce pan of water comes to a boil.

Starting with cold tapwater, tiny bubbles begin to form on the bottom of the pan literally in less than 30 seconds and 3–4 cups of water come to a full, rapid boil within two minutes. Once you are at a rapid boil, you can adjust the induction element up or down and the effect is immediate.

The only thing I miss about our old gas stove is that we could carelessly toss our favorite cast-iron cookware around on it without any fear of damage. The upside is, we got to get some beautiful, brand-new lighter weight induction compatible cookware, which was fun.

The cast iron is still very much induction compatible. We just have to handle it very gently on the glass cooktop. After a month of use, the induction stove top has far exceeded expectations.

IšverstiShow in original languagePluses. Love the gray color, especially for light countertops. It blends in vs. sticks out like a big black hole. Love induction cooking. Love the No-knobs. Easy to use AND clean.

Love the burner lock feature so they don’t get turned on by accident. Negatives. The big burner is way too big for most pots. My induction cookware set doesn’t have a pot or skillet big enough, Thus I will NEVER use it.

(Note: your pot has to fit exactly into or over the dark gray ring. ) The small burner is too large for my small sauce pot. It will work on only my pots and skillets I can already use on the two left burners.

Thus, there are only two functional burners for the pots and skillets included in my induction cookware set. A HIGHLY expensive price tag for two functional burners! Be aware of this drawback, if you’re looking at this one.

The burner I would use the most (front left) never worked. Getting GE help and service has been a NIGHTMARE! GE’s service on its (expensive) products is a REALLY huge disappointment! I had always had a high opinion of GE.

I guess that is because I never had to get them to stand behind and fix a faulty new appliance they delivered from their factory. It makes me wonder about their overall quality control.

IšverstiShow in original languageThe only cons are we wish it was quieter and the controls were more responsive. When you turn on a burner with a pot/pan it has a very strong “electric” sound which was a surprise.

A very picky critique would be to have the large burner in the middle because with the current placement if you use the big burner you can’t use the small single burner at the same time. If the big burner was in the middle, it’d easily offer the ability to have 3 pans/pots on the cooktop at once.

3 pans can fit depending on the size. In the photo below they are a 9″, 10″ and 11″ frying pans. Also note that is is one of the deepest cooktops we found which prevented cabinets from being directly underneath it due to air flow requirements.

While we’ve only been using it for one month, we’re happy with it. It heats up quickly (boiling water in less than 4 minutes) and cleans up easily. It has nice temperature settings and very responsive.

This was installed in an island and cools off quickly. The free pan that came with it is absolutely useless! You need to install 2 apps on your phone in order to even set up the pan before cooking with it.

In an information age, I’m not wanting to share all that information nor use a pan that requires a battery in the handle and 2 apps to make it work. I burn my food already despite not being distracted with my phone.

(Apologize for no photos. it won’t let me upload).

IšverstiShow in original languageWe have had the stovetop for about a month now and are relatively happy. It is easy to use and heats up very quickly. There are two issues. We knew before we purchased it that the only pots and pans that can be used are those that are magnetic.

What we did not know is that, in addition, the pots and pans have to be the same size as, or bigger than, the burner you put it on, or the stove will not heat up. We cannot use our small pots and pans because they are slightly smaller than the smallest burner.

The other issue is cleaning the stove top. You have to use a special cream cleaner, spread it around with a soft cloth and then buff long and hard to get rid of streaks. When there is cooking grease on the stove top I feel like I am simply spreading it around rather than actually cleaning it up.

Also, contrary to the impression I had from the marketing material, food can harden on the parts of the stove top that do not get hot. The cleaner comes with a device that has a razor blade on it to get off hardened food.

The likelihood of scratching the stovetop with that razor blade is high. So far I have been afraid to use it and instead have have very carefully used a scrubby pad that also comes with the cleaner. The bottom line is that you can eventually get the stovetop clean, but it takes a lot of careful work.

IšverstiShow in original languageWe bought our brand new house in 2009, including upgraded GE Profile appliances. In 2012, it wasn’t clear if our cooktop caused (or not) a fired that cost our insurance company way over $100K in repairs to our house.

At that time in 2012, we bought once again all GE Profile appliances. End of 2020, two of our cooktop burners had a portion that stopped working. Here we are again buying a new GE Profile Induction cooktop in February 2021 to replace the broken one.

Not 4 months into this new cooktop, one burner does not get as hot or as quickly hot as when we bought it and now it is turning off in the middle of cooking. On top of it, our GE Profile dishwasher’s door needs work, cause it got something loose and doesn’t hold open unless it’s all the way open, it actually slams down all the way.

Our GE Profile microwave’s turn plate stays running when we open the door until we close it and it has been repaired before as well as our GE Profile fridge. So, this is the last GE appliances we will acquire, unless GE offers them to us to try/test them for free and they’d have to provide all kitchen appliances at once.

We are definitely not wasting more of our money on this brand.

IšverstiShow in original languageThis is to replace a like unit #PHP960DM2BB. Was unhappy that 3 of the burners went out after just 11 years. Felt that they should have lasted longer for the cost. I might have tried a different brand but GE was the only brand of all brands on the market, that would fit in the existing hole in the granite countertop.

We love induction, ease of cleanup, heating speed, temperature control. Hopefully this unit is no different in those respects. As for the improvements: the burner location rings were hard to see while cooking and the pan would often be off the heating unit.

It is now much easier to see and locate the pan. It had always been a pet peeve of mine. I thought that the location of the controls timer and the large unit was was not well thought out, reversing those is much improved.

Joining and syncing the two left units is a wonderful change. I’m neutral on the controls for heating units starting at “L” or “H” as we cook in the mid ranges 4-7. We almost repaired the old unit when the left two units went out but then the large center unit got inconsistent so with the costs being he same for repairs and replacement, replacing was he only choice.

I just hope that this unit lasts somewhat longer.

We had a Jenn-Air propane cooktop, that was also wonderful, but had heavy iron grates to move in order to clean up after every meal. This is so easy to clean! It fit in the same hole, and now our home is all electric with a solar array to power us.

This is the future and it’s a fabulous improvement! The controls are easy to use too. This is not your mom’s electric stove…it’s easily as responsive as gas and when it’s off, it doesn’t stay hot. One thing we wish it had is a timer for the burners.

Also, when the cat cruises around at night she steps on the power button, causing a beep, so we have to cover it with a potholder!.

Pros: This cooktop looks great, is super fast and responsive when cooking, easy to clean, and safer around kids. I love to cook on it and have started cooking a lot more often since we got it. Cons: Uses 1.

7amps of electricity even when not using. If you pick up pan to flip food around the element will start beeping and takes a few seconds to recognise pan and resume cooking when you set it back down. Sometimes accidentially bump the touchpad and turn it off or something while cooking.

I wish the timers would turn off the burner when they reach 0 instead of just beeping.

This is my second induction cooktop. It was installed in February, 2022. I have owned and used induction cooktops at home for the past 15 years. I find the power control is very difficult to adjust. It takes several tries to get it to the correct temperature setting.

On a minor note, it had a small scratch on the ceramic top.

We upgraded a 30 year old gas cooktop with this device. It is the best cooking surface I have used — even better than the lovely BlueStar gas cooktop. The even heat across a large fry pan makes cooking a pleasure for pancakes, frying chicken (any dish where you want even cooking across a surface).

The low settings are incredible. For example, reheating chocolate sauce you can keep it at 100 degrees for as long as you like. forget being able to do that with gas. The predictability, nuance of control, speed of response — better than I thought.

Nice safety features, too. I’m a convert! My only criticism is the two step adjustments for controls i. e. , pick a heating element, set a power level. Some inductions systems have separate dials for each element which makes it a single gesture.

I’m getting used to the Bosch. First world problem. My only concern is reliability. I have a 4 year warranty but can I expect it to last 10 years? This house has lots of 30 year old appliances that I have been upgrading, but it’s hard to accept that an “upgrade” is going to be have lower reliability.

All electronics eventually break. Given the sensible migration from gas to electric, induction is the best choice for cooking (if one can afford it). Really happy with this singular experience (i. e.

, I have not used any other induction cooktop so perhaps there is something better but I have no interest in looking further).

This is the second induction cooktop we have ever owned and the Bosch provides so much more value than the previous brand we owned. It has automatic sensors that turn on the cooking zone(s) of which the pot sits on when you turn the system on.

If you have a large griddle or pot, it will automatically turn on multiple cooking zones. What makes the Bosch even better than our previous cooktop is the fact that each zone has its own shutoff timer.

So say you want to steam carrots for twenty minutes, you can set it and forget it to concentrate on other aspects of the meal. Once twenty minutes is up, it shuts off automatically with perfectly cooked food.

Similarly you can set another zone to Auto Chef cook so the food will not burn. (Our previous induction cooktop just beeped at you and could only manage one timer) The controls are very easy to use and have the right amount of heat to either melt chocolate without a double boiler or boil a pot of water in under a minute.

Very well made and well designed. So glad we spent a little more to get the Bosch and not go with the less expensive induction cooktops as it is well worth the small amount added on.

I ordered a Bosch cooktop model: NIT8069UC/01 on December 2020. It was delivered and installed less than 1 ½ years ago in February 2021. The cooktop failed 6 months later in August 2021. Bosch came to replace an operating module in September 2021.

The cooktop has failed intermittently since then but would typically work after resetting the unit. Well now my Bosch cooktop is repeatedly failing again and the reset is not working reliably. I called for my extended warrantee.

They sent someone to troubleshoot the cooktop June 28, 2022. The gentleman said the cooktop needs 3 of the 4 burners replaced, the mother board replaced, and, it also needs troubleshooting for a short in the wiring.

I think this is extensive for a cooktop that is 1 1/2 years old and not used regularly. The extended warrantee company is willing to give me what I paid for the cooktop but now the cooktop is twice what I paid 1 1/2 years ago so I am not a very happy consumer to say the least.

I cannot believe I have had so many issues with a new cooktop and that these problems continually repeat themselves. My cooktop has had multiple issues and seems to be a lemon.

It took me a long time to acquire this cooktop since it was necessary to rewire the space for it. Plus, I had to buy a Bosch oven in order for it to fit in my existing space. Then both appliances were on back order for several months.

Now that it is here I have enjoyed using induction for the first time. I had to buy some new cookware, but many of the pieces I had do work. The speed of induction is great, and the controls are nice once you get used to what they do, but this is true of all electronics.

One design feature that I don’t like is the placement of the largest heating space. It is on the back right when the front right would be far superior, not only because it is closer to the cook but also because having the two biggest heating areas next to each other makes it difficult to fit pans.

I don’t understand why the two smallest spaces are in front. Cleaning the cooktop is easy, and I like the keep warm control.
