Beautiful Cooktop, Quiet, Knobs are Delicate
on January 20, 2022
Posted by: TexasTerri
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] For the past 8 years, i've been cooking on portable induction hobs so it's great to finally have an actual induction cooktop with the ability to heat more than a couple of pans at a time. If you haven't used an induction cooktop, you'll love the ease of cleanup, the speed of cooking and the pleasure of stirring pots without excess heat in the kitchen.
I've been using this cooktop for almost 3 weeks. It's quiet - no buzzing that some cooktops create. The manual warns about scratching the cooktop so I've been careful not to slide pans across it and it's been pretty easy to keep looking good. The power levels run from High, then 9 and continue in .5 increments down to Lo which is the equivelent of 1. Level 2 seems to keep a heated pot of water at a steady boil so there isn't much range at the low end of the heat scale. I never needed a double boiler with the portable hobs but I'll be using it with this cooktop. Still, I'm sure I'll adjust to it.
This cooktop is available with flat touchscreen controls but I opted for the knobs. I haven't had a cooktop with knobs in years but I was feeling nostalgic for them. They can be gently removed for occasional cleaning underneath them.
The only reason I didn't give this cooktop 5 stars is that the metal knobs are not very durable. Within 2 weeks of installation, I noticed that one knob has a gouge in the metal. I've been careful with pans and have no idea how the damage occured. The knobs may not hold up well so be cautious about whatever is around them.
Other than that, I'm pleased with the cooktop. It's very straightforward - no timers, no indication of actual cooking temperature or other bells and whistles. But I knew that when I ordered it. I hope it holds up well.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was shocked to find how easily the stainless steel could be scratched or marred. Took me some time to get used to this product
I would recommend this to a friend!

Easy to clean and great look!

from Gilbert, AZ
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this stove because of the control with the heat they demonstrated to me in the showroom. Very Impressive! I have not been let down so far. I did have to purchase new pots and pans for it to work. My hard anodized ones did not have the steel bottom to make it acknowledge that a pan was sitting on it. My cast iron skillet worked perfectly. Anyway, a minor expense for the features you gain. Not only is heat control great, clean-up is a breeze. No more scrubbing to get the burned on residue off of the glass. I am really enjoying this stove.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this in January 2020 and already (within 6 months) required service for a non-functioning generator part.

Looks great but better? Not sure
on January 6, 2021
Posted by: OldKingCole
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Well I replaced my Frigidaire radiant halogen cooktop with this Frigidaire Professional unit. It looks great, but I cannot say it cooks that much faster than the radiant unit if at all, but it does cook at least as fast. I will say control is superior due to the direct heating of the cookware versus transferred heat from radiant.
The benefits of not getting hot are less useful because it does get hot from the cookware. I do not see anything that can be done about that, however, it does cool down faster.
One big warning: The Professional line does not have the same overall dimensions or cutouts as the standard or Gallery line so be warned that the "It Fits" guarantee does not apply. I was able to order a trim kit from a 3rd party however and that solved the issue.

The only induction cooktop with knobs!!
on June 13, 2024
Posted by: AChaunceyT
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We returned a cooktop from a different manufacturer because its electronic overheated, it smelled bad, and the touchpad was annoying and unresponsive. We got this one instead and we’re happy because it has physical knobs that are easy to use, it has a better variety of element sizes, and it has two fans built into the bottom that keep the internal electronics cool and not smelly. We are happy with it. My complaints are that it’s a little smalller, doesn’t have stainless steel around the perimeter, and that the strip of stainless in the front is easily scratched. So, it doesn’t look as good but it works better!!

Seams to work easier.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Replaced our old cooktop with a nice new one. It worked great for a few days and still works ok but doesn’t seem to get as hot as it used to. It take forever to boil water. I have to cook eggs on high where I used to use medium.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great value induction cooktop
on April 16, 2018
Posted by: kstricker
from Saskatoon, SK
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This cooktop performs just as well as we've come to expect from any induction unit, but it's been great to go back to dials from finicky touch controls since installing this one. Also looking forward to getting a griddle to use the bridge feature with.
I would recommend this to a friend!
