We purchased this Frigidaire 30 inch cooktop after looking at many different models. We liked the control knobs on this cooktop as opposed to the touch controls since some touch controls are finicky and required multiple steps to adjust temperatures. Looking through the cooktop manual, I discovered that the elements had both minimum and maximum pot size restrictions. The restriction which concerned me the most was that the main (large right front) element had a minimum pot size of 9 1/16 inches. After checking the size of all our pots and pans, I determined that none of them had a base over 9 inches and would not work on this cooktop. Even our large stock pot which we use only occasionally was too small for this element. Now I could go out and purchase an extra large pot which would work on this element but it would be of a size which is much too large for our requirements as we normally cook for two people. Since this minimum pot size seemed so restrictive, I called Frigidaire to determine if this was correct and they confirmed it to be correct. I find it strange that the Frigidaire brochures show a wok on the main element. The wok in the brochure looks very similar to my wok which has a 7 inch base and will not work on this element. I have looked extensively and I cannot find a wok with a base even close to 9 inches. After determining that the main element on this cooktop was essentially useless because we seldom use extra large pots, we decided to return it. We are extremely disappointed since we were looking forward to cooking with induction.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello, LMG1.
Thanks for your review.
We’re always grateful when our fellow Frigidaire ambassadors take the time to give us their valuable feedback.
I’m sorry to hear our cooktop didn’t meet your needs.
I understand you notice a wok being used in one of our adverts.
Does your wok have a flat bottom? Woks with a flat bottom are more compatible with induction cooktops.
We hope you’ll reconsider us in the future for any of your other household appliances.
-Derrick

The only downside is that the stainless trim is easy to scratch/mark even with a clean paper towel after o my one month it looks 5 years old.

Excellent Cooktop BUT NO griddle to fit!
on April 12, 2022
Posted by: DCM5
I have had the Frigidaire Professional induction 30" cooktop for 3 weeks now and am enjoying many features - quick to boil, very responsive to temp control, easy to clean, and it looks great! The one issue and great disappointment I have with it is that I cannot find a griddle to fit to allow use of the 2 burner bridge. The griddle needed for this stovetop is smaller than the griddles that are readily available at local stores and online. The max size is 8" X 16". It would be a great if Frigidaire could include a griddle as an accessory or at the very least, provide the information of which griddle is compatible for this and how to purchase. I look forward to a response to my review. With an available griddle to use with this cooktop, I would give a 5 star rating.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hi there, our valued customer. We appreciate you stopping by to share your feedback on your cooktop and bringing your concerns to our attention. Typically, either too much gas or too much air is flowing, which produces a hissing sound that is louder than usual. If the noise is no longer tolerable, our team would like to step in to see how we can help. At your convenience, please connect with us at 1-800-265-8352, Monday-Friday 8:30 am–8 pm EST, and we’ll be happy to assist. We look forward to hearing from you! Best Regards, John.
