Sleek, modern, and efficient update to my kitchen

After moving into a new house that was full of old appliances, I knew that I would need to slowly update my appliances as they went out on me. I had the opportunity to replace my old cook top with a new Samsung cook top & overall I am extremely pleased with this appliance!
The cook top is black stainless steel. It is a darker black color, unlike other black stainless steel products that look more brown/black in color. With the grates, the cook top sits higher than the counter top does (about 4 inches higher than your counter top). The cook top comes with 3 grates and 5 burners, as well as a griddle.
Cons first: Because of the fact that there are only 3 grates for the whole cook top and they are cast iron, they are a bit heavy. The paint has already chipped on both sides of the cook top, closest to the knobs. It is not noticeable while looking at it or standing over it, unless you are specifically looking at it. It has chipped from the exact same location on both sides. The next con is that the griddle has not held up and this is over a 2 month period of owning the product. I do cook with it often, however, it has started to stick and even after cleaning with a detergent and sponge, there are darker spots I have been unable to remove. I do believe that this is just a sweet addition to my amazing product, so in my opinion it holds no bearing on whether the product itself works. I deducted 1 star ONLY for the fact that the paint has already peeled. I hope that this does not spread farther over time.
Pros: The cook top connects to the SmartThings app. I have a Samsung phone, so I found it in my app store. While I am not able to start my burners with the app (probably a good thing), I am able to see which burners are on and off at any given time. Set up was a breeze. The cook top comes with 5 burners, one being a giant center burner. This burner has been really helpful when I want to heat something up very quickly. The cook top has been very easy to clean, and even with boil overs, I have been able to wipe it clean with a rag and some warm water without issue. Installation seemed quick and easy enough. Although a company set it up for me, however, they took less than 15 minutes to get it done. The flame from the burners along with the blue glow from the burners being used creates this sleek, modern addition to the kitchen and looks really nice.
Overall, great product so far, very efficient, & great looking. I feel like I have a million dollar kitchen now!
