Flames do not get very high. That is the biggest problem.

Wow, it's gorgeous. love the bold burner grates. Running it with natural Gas, no problems so far. Connectors comes with the unit, But no actual flex gas line hook up.

Nice for the Price

Installed this on a Saturday afternoon. Some of the instructions are a bit confusing. They appear to have been translated into English by a person not entirely familiar with American English or even the Queen's English. If one is familiar with working with gas appliances, it is not an issue. If you're not, and you plan on doing this yourself, take some time to check out some of the tutorials on gas stove installation available on the internet before starting.
Stove comes with fittings for both LPG and natural gas as well as a spare set of jets. The brackets included to secure the top to the counter may not work for you. They didn't for me. My counter is too thick and had to make my own brackets.
Overall, it is well constructed even though it isn't as sturdy out of the box as something like a Bosch. Once it is installed, that slightly flimsy impression goes away.
I didn't have to adjust the new pressure regulator (included) after installation. It was set appropriately for my setup. You will need to provide gas rated PTFE tape to seal the connections. This is YELLOW Teflon tape. Don't use white Teflon tape. Check your seals with soapy water to ensure you have no leaks.
This replaced a GE Profile gas cook top. So far, I've prepared two meals using this cook top. I'm very pleased with its performance. The large burner in the center handled my wok and I was able to whip up a stir fry easily.
Other users have complained about difficulty getting the stove to ignite. Remember when you first assemble, and turn on the gas, there is air in the internal lines in the stove. Open the valves on all burners until you smell gas to purge the air from the system. Vent the room and then try and start. Mine fired right up.

Would buy again!

After being a smooth top electric user for over 15 yrs now, cleaning isn't as easy of course! I'm happy with the way it looks, am enjoying using a gas cooktop again and only have one complaint. They should get rid of the decal that misleads you on how to adjust the cooking level. In actuality, you need to turn the dial back towards the direction of Off to lower it from the highest setting. This is why many people complain there is hardly any difference between high & low. The cooktop looks beautiful, cooks great and is definitely worth the bargain price I bought it for!

Very easy to install. We had no issues with it. It is a little slimmer on the width but still goodVery light. The burners are great and heat up very quicklyWe have have had it about two months and it has started to rust a little. Overall we are happy with it
