We bought the cooktop for our brand new home. We absolutely love it. The features we particularly love are; !) the even flame on every burner regardless of how low or high you set it, 2) the lights that indicate when a burner is on, 3) the room on every burner for different sizes of pots and pans, 4) the ease of cleaning the grids and stainless steel pan, and 5) the ability to quickly substitute the one side of the cooktop with the optional griddle.
It works very well, better than expected. The 20K btu burner is fantastic for stockpots and wok cooking. The distance between burners is great and all 5 burners can be used together.
My wife and I have used this cooktop for 9 months and have been very satisfied. I had read reviews that the grates were too high and did not find this to be the case so long as you remember to use appropriately size pans for the different burner flame diameters. The center power-boil works well as does the lower simmer settings it has. One thing I did find annoying was that the knobs are taller than the grates and a sliding pan can hit them.
Love this cook-top. Heats up really fast, cooks amazingly well...even better than our old GE that we thought was very good. Beautiful and very easy to keep clean.
When we remodeled our kitchen recently, we knew that there was no other stove top that would compare to this one. So far, we have not been disappointed. Not only is it great looking, it functions well. We read several comments that it took a while for the burners to heat up due to the height between the burner and grate. I have not found this to be in issue. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone!!
I have used my cooktop several times now and am so impressed with the even cooking. It is beautiful and easy to clean. I look forward to cooking for Thanksgiving on it.
Just installed this new cooktop; and it looks great. The black grates are so easy to maintain and won't look scuffed or burnt. Enjoying the variable heat range burners and the high heat burner in the middle. Haven't tried the griddle yet.
