Beautiful Cooktop, Quiet, Knobs are Delicate
on January 20, 2022
Posted by: TexasTerri
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] For the past 8 years, i've been cooking on portable induction hobs so it's great to finally have an actual induction cooktop with the ability to heat more than a couple of pans at a time. If you haven't used an induction cooktop, you'll love the ease of cleanup, the speed of cooking and the pleasure of stirring pots without excess heat in the kitchen.
I've been using this cooktop for almost 3 weeks. It's quiet - no buzzing that some cooktops create. The manual warns about scratching the cooktop so I've been careful not to slide pans across it and it's been pretty easy to keep looking good. The power levels run from High, then 9 and continue in .5 increments down to Lo which is the equivelent of 1. Level 2 seems to keep a heated pot of water at a steady boil so there isn't much range at the low end of the heat scale. I never needed a double boiler with the portable hobs but I'll be using it with this cooktop. Still, I'm sure I'll adjust to it.
This cooktop is available with flat touchscreen controls but I opted for the knobs. I haven't had a cooktop with knobs in years but I was feeling nostalgic for them. They can be gently removed for occasional cleaning underneath them.
The only reason I didn't give this cooktop 5 stars is that the metal knobs are not very durable. Within 2 weeks of installation, I noticed that one knob has a gouge in the metal. I've been careful with pans and have no idea how the damage occured. The knobs may not hold up well so be cautious about whatever is around them.
Other than that, I'm pleased with the cooktop. It's very straightforward - no timers, no indication of actual cooking temperature or other bells and whistles. But I knew that when I ordered it. I hope it holds up well.

Incredible but with some incredible issues.
on December 27, 2021
Posted by: Clevernik
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Don’t get me wrong, I am loving the responsiveness with induction cooking- it is a game changer. After waiting 6 months for it to arrive, we finally got to give it a try for ourselves in October. There is a slight learning curve here but we loved it! One mistake we made early on was trying to use a pot that is too small for a burner- it will sort of work but not quite. In November, half of it stopped working. Apparently, the circuit board under the bridge connection blew a fuse and had to be replaced, that took another month. The one we ordered has a stainless trim on the front and within a day, it had its first scratch. Now it’s sporting about 10! I am very careful with my appliances but this thing scratches just by looking at it. I have all stainless appliances in my kitchen and none of them have any scratches- is the metal they used just really soft? I don’t know…but it’s very annoying and now, after only 2 months, it looks old. The glass cooktop is still scratch free but that stainless strip just looks awful. All that said, I’m am loving induction cooking but I did not expect to have any issues this early on considering the price we paid.

Awesome cooktop
on December 17, 2021
Posted by: paisan59
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] By far the best cooktop. Sad to see this particular model may not be sold for much longer. One of the biggest selling points were the knobs to regulate the cooking power. Touch cooktops do not like wet fingers which most cooks have when cooking. The cooktop itself is awesome. It cooks faster than gas and it is easy to keep clean. This model is by far the best cooktop we had purchased. It is our second induction cooktop and due to the aforementioned touch controls, decided on this cooktop with knobs to regulate the temperature, as our previous one did not respond to wet hands/fingers.
Awesome job, Frigidaire. Please continue making models with knob control.

Awesome Induction!
on November 12, 2021
Posted by: Zephy
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Frigidaire Professional Induction cooktop is an amazing device. Easy to clean with removable knobs. The knobs are an excellent choice over the push button functions because fingers are usually wet when cooking and touch sensitive buttons don't work so well with wet fingers. The surface is easily cleaned and only gets slightly warm with induction, never hot enough to burn on food. Highly recommended.

Very Satisfied
on October 16, 2021
Posted by: Fred in Raleigh
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had this cooktop for about 4 months, and so far I am very pleased. No problems. I was worried about reviews that said pan size was very critical, but my new Circulon 13-piece non-stick set has worked just fine. They heat up quickly, and when turning off the heat, boiling stops almost immediately. On the large burner, the heat seems to go evenly all the way to the edge of my 12" pan. All pans seem to heat evenly.
I purchased this particular product because as far as I know, Frigidaire is the only company that makes an induction cooktop with knobs on the front. I really dislike those surface controls where your finger better line up exactly, but in my case it was also because my wife is blind and needs a physical knob. You don't need to worry about kids turning on burners, because unless there is a pan on the cooktop, it won't heat up.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Our cooktop died and this was the only product in stock. With the pandemic everything else on back order for 4-6 months. Now we can cook again and my wife loves it

Better than I Imagined
on June 21, 2021
Posted by: Grace Always
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had the cooktop for about 4 months now, and love it. It heats faster than traditional gas or electric, and when the temp is turned down the results are almost instant. If something does boil over, there is no scalding mess, because the glass isn't heated by elements, and the glass makes clean up much easier than a gas range. When I show someone the cooktop, I always put a pan of water on the top and watch their amazement when the water starts to boil in less than a minute. Then I remove the pan and set my hand on the top where I heated the pan, its crazy you can do this. I feel much safer with the grandkids around when we are cooking.
