We got this gas stove to replace the existing 30" electric smooth top. It was real easy replacement, because we had a gas endpoint provided by the builder. My husband replaced it in 2 hours, and put the oven and cleaned the place in the next hour. The shift to gas stove was easy, and love the griddle feature. The gas burners provides uniform heat . I have already used the big burner for a huge pot chunky vegetable gravy. Chose this model for the safety features and the nice blue lighting under the knobs. Fits great in my kitchen and people do notice the difference
I have had my new cooktop for a month and love it so far. We changed out our electric cooktop for a gas and wanted something quality without spending a fortune. The stainless gets spotty with cooking oil, etc but wipes up with water/sponge easily!
Hookup was very easy. Nice look although i could see if the grates hit the stainless steel base while removing for cleaning it could scratch if not careful. Center burner is a powerhouse and boils water in no time!
Only the middle unit can boil water on a timely manner. Very difficult to clean this unit.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello. Thank you for taking the time to write your review on your new gas cooktop. We regret any inconvenience and we are happy to help. Although the other burners are designed to bring water and other liquids to a boil, the center burner offers 20,000 BTU’s of power, providing you with the fastest heating results. The left front and right front burners offer 9,100 BTU’s and the right rear burner is rated at 5,000 BTU’s.
The type of cookware being used can also affect the cooking speed. Please take a look at page 6 in the use and care guide for additional details, found in our following link:
