Our uniquely engineered induction cooktops offer exceptional power, precision, and responsiveness for fast, efficient heating and even cooking. Using electromagnetic energy to directly heat your cookware-and only your cookware-induction is about 5-10% more energy-efficient than radiant electric cooktops and about 3 times more efficient than gas. Plus, the cooktop surface remains relatively cool, making it safer to operate and easier to clean. Learn more about induction cooking here.

Safer, Easy to Clean, and Detects Your Cookware

Because induction uses electromagnetic energy to heat only your induction-compatible cookware, and not the cooktop itself, fire hazards and risk of burns are reduced for a safer experience. And since the cooktop remains cool, drips and splatters won't burn onto the surface, allowing for easier cleanup.

Image Feature

Cookware Compatibility Indicator

How well your cookware heats on an induction element depends on several factors, such as the cookware's size, material, and shape of its base. Our cooktop is equipped with a built-in Cookware Compatibility Indicator, which rates cookware and element compatibility on a scale from 0 to 10, to help you optimize the power output and performance of each element and maximize energy efficiency.

Extended warranties are usually very inexpensive and can save you thousands in the future. Some can even cover extra costs that result, such as cost of food that spoils when your fridge dies. It's simple and inexpensive to purchase extended warranties and one of the smartest ways to protect your investment.

Appliances can be large, heavy and expensive. You probably don't have the special tools or expertise needed to fix them in a crisis. If you can spare a few thousand dollars without batting an eyelash for new appliances should they break tomorrow, don't buy a warranty. But if you're like most of us, protect yourself by purchasing inexpensive extended warranties when you buy a new product and save yourself big money in the long run.

Exceptional control and power

Denny234 11/4/2024

Bought to replace an old coil electric. Easy to install. The controls are easy enough and gives lots of control. Heats fast even on the smaller burner. About the only con would be nice to have a universal off to have all burners turned off or at least an easy off rather than hitting the burner id then 0.

Terrible Customer Service

Daniel 22 10/31/2024

I bought this appliance and on the website it stated I had a 30 day return window. I opened the box on day 25 because it was being installed in new construction and the top was shattered. I reached out to LG to be told that with it being broken I would have had to tell them that within 14 days of delivery - though I am not sure how I was supposed to know this. I ended up having to work with the out of warranty group since the glass cook top is considered cosmetic damage - though the device does not work without it. I also purchased the extended warranty - which was a complete waste of money because this is not considered covered by the warranty. As of today over a month after initially reaching out to LG the appliance is still not repaired. I was asked to rate how it is working. It does not work.

Better Than Gas

MarkRR 8/1/2024

I hate electric stoves. When we moved the new house had you guessed it an old electric cooktop. We had 2 choices run a gas line and get a gas one or install an induction cooktop. Having always had gas we decided to try the induction. Did the research and decided on theLG. When it went on sale at Costco we went for it. It was so worth the extra cost to run a new power cable and the cost to replace most of our cookware. To be honest those 50 year old aluminum pots were still good but the new set was so shiny. This cooktop is better than our gas stove ever was. Only the pan gets hot quickly not the room. No worries about a gas leak or paper towels catching fire. Love how you can change the temperature and it is immediate. Bottom line is we love it.
