The retained reference is $1,049 current U.S. direct price. Promotion, counter modification, circuit work, cookware, delivery and installation are separate. Have the seller and licensed installer confirm model, nameplate, circuit, junction, cutout, support, clearances and compatible wall oven before payment.
Current market
Each line carries its own check date because price, software, specifications, and product cycle do not age at the same speed.
Promotion, counter modification, circuit work, cookware, delivery and installation are separate. Confirm stock, authorized U.S. support, tax, return terms and exact installation scope.
CBIH3013BE is the defended price baseline for four standard zones and optional ThinQ when a bridge is unnecessary and the deep installation envelope fits.

What changed
Older observations stay in the ledger when the current view changes. That lets a buyer tell the difference between an old complaint, an active issue, and a problem that was corrected.
30-Inch Smart Induction Cooktop was checked against manufacturer identity, exact current U.S. price, installation and support, independent current-model evidence and bounded owner evidence.
Each amount stays tied to its source and capture date. Conflicting prices remain visible until the seller resolves them.

Owner experience
Owner evidence is retained as a fit, circuit, cookware, controls, cleaning and service checklist for 30-Inch Smart Induction Cooktop, not a performance, failure or repair rate.
Reports are self-selected and span different counters, circuits, installers, cookware, food, ventilation, cleaning, accounts, firmware, climates and service regions. They cannot prove population speed, simmer, temperature, scratch, ventilation, reliability, electrical, fire, medical-device or repair outcomes.Self-selected exact-model discussions surface cutout surprises, countertop reinforcement, junction access, cookware recognition, touch-control behavior, fan sound, glass care, app setup, parts and service. Homes, circuits, counters, pans, cooking methods, cleaning and service regions differ, so these reports do not establish speed, simmer, temperature, failure or repair rates.
Use it as the cost benchmark after confirming no bridge is needed and the unusually deep under-counter envelope is available

LG identifies CBIH3013BE as a four-zone 30-inch cooktop with a 4.3 kW main element, compatibility indicator and ThinQ. The 30 11/16 by 21 1/16-inch top uses a 28 1/2 by 19 5/8-inch cutout and requires the documented 5 3/4-inch vertical installation space; counter support and approved oven combinations must be verified

The builder specification calls for 240/208 VAC, 60 Hz, three- or four-wire service and lists 29.6 A at 240 V or 27.9 A at 208 V; exact branch and junction must follow the current installation manual The 30 11/16 by 21 1/16-inch top uses a 28 1/2 by 19 5/8-inch cutout and requires the documented 5 3/4-inch vertical installation space; counter support and approved oven combinations must be verified
LG provides current manuals and one-year base parts-and-labor support, with a conditional 2026 ThinQ promotion. Clean cooled ceramic glass and protect edges; neither promotion nor diagnostics predicts service outcome SmoothTouch controls work locally; ThinQ adds monitoring, hood sync, updates and diagnostics through network and account permissions. Loss of cloud changes connected capability, not basic local heating
Consumer Reports retains CBIH3013BE in its current induction-cooktop test market and separates controlled high-heat, low-heat and energy observations from brand-level owner reliability and satisfaction surveys. The listing does not guarantee results in a particular kitchen.
Self-selected exact-model discussions surface cutout surprises, countertop reinforcement, junction access, cookware recognition, touch-control behavior, fan sound, glass care, app setup, parts and service. Homes, circuits, counters, pans, cooking methods, cleaning and service regions differ, so these reports do not establish speed, simmer, temperature, failure or repair rates.
Consumer Reports evaluates induction-cooktop high heat, low heat and annual usage cost under controlled conditions and keeps exact-model tests distinct from brand owner surveys.
FDA-hosted implanted cardiac-device labeling gives device-specific induction-cooktop distance guidance and directs patients to their implant manufacturer. A cooktop dossier cannot set a universal pacemaker or ICD clearance.
NFPA cooking guidance emphasizes supervision, controlled handles and smothering rather than moving a pan fire. Induction removes a flame but not hot oil, pan, grease, steam or fire hazards.
