Default ceramic hob with radiant heating

Hi all

I just found this group and would like advice on a hob I'm considering
buying. It's a Samsung, and the brochure doesn't actually say "halogen"
but it does say "Our ceramic glass cooking surface features four high
tech cooking zones with powerful radiant heater surfaces to heat your
food." The accompanying photo shows burners glowing red.

Here are it's specs:
LED DISPLAY
4 HOTPLATES WITH TOUCH CONTROL
RESIDULE HEAT INDICATOR.
TIME INDICATOR
1 x CASSEROLE COOKING ZONE 2400W
1 X DOUBLE COOKING ZONE 2200W
2 X SINGLE COOKING ZONES 1200W
EASY CLEAN., NO DIALS TO CLEAN AROUND!
SIMPLE OPERATION.

Here is the link to the product

if anyone has a chance to take a peek at it.

Having read Martin's excellent post on the "Types of electric cooker
hobs", this leads me to believe it's got radiant and conduction
heating, since it is a ceramic hob.

Basically, I just want to know I'm going to have a fast-heating hob.

I've called Samsung's tech support line but they were no help,
referring me to a retailer, who also gave no joy.

Does anyone have a samsung hob, or care to offer any advice?

Many thanks!

Jen
