[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We chose this particular model for the bridge and keep warm features. We have been very pleased with the performance of both. In addition, we are impressed with how quickly the elements heat.
I just built a home and purchased all frigidaire appliances, including this cooktop and I am highly unpleased with it. The power plus burner get way too hot and even boils things on low. I essentially cannot cook anything on this element (other than boiling water) without burning the food. Which mean I technically only have 3 functioning burners because the keep warm element really doesn't "cook."
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

ErinP, than you for sharing your cooktop experience with us. I regret to hear your burner cooks like it is on high even when you have it set on low. Is the element more than 1/2 inch larger than your cookware? If so, large elements may produce too much heat for small pans. Cookware should match the size of the element as closely as possible. Please check the installation, the voltage may be incorrect. Should you have further questions, please reconnect with us directly. Please call our Customer Engagement Center at 877-435-3287 for assistance. The hours for the Customer Engagement Center are 8am to 8pm Monday through Friday, and Saturday 8am to 6pm EST. Your friendly Frigidaire lady, Ruth
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Redoing my kitchen and purchased the Professional cooktop and single wall oven. I was looking for a sleek modern look, with lots of functionality as I have 4 teenage boys (ie CONSTANTLY COOKING!) If I'm not on it cooking meals, it's one of them cooking pre-meal meals or post-meal meals. If you have teenage boys you know what I mean.
Features are great - love the BIG power unit on right, perfect for big pots of pasta. And the linked units on the left make pancake breakfasts with a griddle a snap. I've even used the keep warm unit for boys coming in late from practice. Kudos!
This is my first ceramic cooktop, i had an old coil electric before - so I was uber-nervous about scratching it. After using it for about a month, I am much more relaxed - having easily cleaned up the usual messes of a busy kitchen. But I paid attention to the recommendations: gave away my trusty iron skillet :( and dumped any of my tired warped pans, cuz they don't heat well and are really wobbly on the stovetop. And make sure you scour the bottom of the pans you're keeping to remove any burnt crud/deposits (alas, do I reveal too much?!) I also use the ceramic cleaner. I am NOT a neat freak but believe if you want to keep this baby shiny and new, you need to use the recommended products. It's not rocket science though. Anyone can do it.
Finally, in case you are thinking about the Professional oven, let me give you some insights. This guy is unprofessionally NOISY! Kinda like having the loud uncle hanging out in the kitchen with you. It has DUAL convection fans that blast on any time the oven is heating (including in non-convection mode) and again as it reheats. It vents hot air at waist level too...which I guess is to be expected. Just new to me. Mainly the learjet level of noise from the fans is distracting. Saw lots of feedback about this on posts AFTER I purchased the oven, but it was new when I bought it so that feedback was not available The function of the oven seems fine - I would love Frigidaire to come out with a retrofit to quiet this "noisy uncle" down, I have enough of the people-version of that at family parties. How 'bout it Frigidaire - are you listening ?
