I bought this cooktop 19 months ago. I had two of the cheap plastic control knobs break in the first 6-9 months; replaced those two. Presently I have two more control knobs that have broken and a third one that has cracked and will most likely fail before my non-Frigidaire replacement stove top (with all-dye-cast metal control knobs) can be installed... That's an average failure rate of one control knob failure every 4 months!
which will leave me with a single control knob and a needle nose pliers as the only way to control my stove until the new unit arrives.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using this for the past couple of months and I’ve been very impressed with its varying heat capabilities, including low heat without going out.
Easy to clean, gas is easy to regulate AND COOKING WITH GAS

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] CAME FROM ELECTRIC, WIFE HAS ALWAYS BEEN UNHAPPY WITH ELECTRIC. GAS IS SO MUCH MORE USEFUL. COOKS EVEN. COOKS AT CORRECT TEMP.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Like a lot of other reviews here, the knobs are horrible quality. Made of plastic that either break or melt easily. Contacted Frigidaire after first one broke and they mailed me a replacement. One month later 2 more broke. So Frigidaire sent out a service company who said nothing is wrong and just to order new knobs. This is ridiculous. Will be bringing this up with the Product Safety Commission since the quality of these knobs can actually prevent you from turning off the gas if they break at the wrong moment.

Bought this new one year ago. Within six months the cheap knob inserts broke. Order four new ones at an outrageous cost, but they broke in less that three months. The only solution seems to be tear it out, throw it in the trash, and buy a GE.
