[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So far, this cooktop has performed beyond my expectations. This being my first experience cooking with induction, I have to wonder why I put up with my old radiant cooktop so long. Heats fast and evenly, cools very quickly. Highly recommend!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We used to have electric stoves/cooktops all our lives, no gas. While traveling we got the room for a week (timeshare) with the induction cooktop and we got hooked, we liked it from the first use, so we decided to purchase induction cooktop for our kitchen. We spent significant time searching for one we like as we don't like electronic controls on the cooktops at all, we just like old-style simple knobs and this specific model has knobs. Nowadays everything is electronic and it's hard to find the new appliances with the knobs, but we found it. It's almost perfect, as we would like to have knobs on the side of the cooktop, not in the front, but it's ok, we still need to lift our pots up instead of sliding, so this is not a problem at all. So far we have been using the cooktop sparingly for about a month and we love it. It has the power boost option so it gets the water to boiling stage very quickly, then we can lower the setting and go to normal cooking, very useful feature. We cooked soups, fried steaks, made scrambled eggs and eggs Benedicts, sauces, cooked pasta - it has been a real pleasure to cook on this cooktop. I would strongly recommend it so far. We also purchased 5-year protection plan from Home Depot, just in case anything goes wrong, since it is a new experience for us we didn't want to take any chances that the cooktop would fail and we would have to replace it again, most likely going back to the electric cooktop again. Note: pay attention to the cooktop dimensions and the required countertop opening size as these are very precise and the size tolerance is not much. If the cooktop doesn't fit in the opening (too big or too small), you will have a problem.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We’re still in the midst of remodeling our kitchen, but, the cooktop has been installed. With the kitchen still incomplete, we can say now that we are pleased with how quickly foods heat and how easily the surface is wiped clean. So far, so good! Looking forward to preparing Thanksgiving dinner with 5 burners!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have experimented with a one burner induction cooker for a while, and when our gas stove top had exhausted its useful life, jumped at the chance to switch to an induction cooktop. I really like the spacing to the cooktop and its ability to manage multiple pots and pans. I am very happy with the Frigidare model that we purchased and it fit perfectly in the opening that we had, and with a little adjusting and sawing we were able to keep the drawers under the cooktop. Great value and nice worksaver.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We love our induction cooktop. It heats food so fast and is so easy to clean. I especially like the knobs to control heat level. Our prior cooktop by a different brand had a touch surface system that was very finicky!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So far we are very pleased with this upgrade to induction cooking. The design is stylish, love having actual knobs to control the elements. The fan hum kicks on anytime you are over medium level heat and while it is a new experience, it is not loud. Just a new experience with induction. Love how responsive the elements for heating and also when you turn off the heat it stops cooking very quickly.
