Three weeks in - so far so good
on April 26, 2023

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Mostly very happy for the switch from LP gas to induction. I have never used an induction cooktop before so I can't compare to other brands or models. I like the knobs and the general layout of the burners though they seem a little bit too close together. It is a challenge finding cookware, I thought my cast iron pans would be great, but the bottoms are not as perfect as the stove wants so they cook unevenly. Water boils so fast and the burners change temperature a half a second after turning the knob so there is a lot of control which I love. The cooktop itself is quite a bit smaller than the 36" gas cooktop I took out and that made installation quite finicky since I had only 1/8" of overlap onto the counter after having built the opening smaller. It did work, but a little more overlap would be nice. Cleanup is so easy and after three weeks I am seeing that the surface is pretty sturdy and doesn't scratch easily which is a relief. It is pretty quiet except when it is not happy with a pan and lid that is not as perfect as the stove wants. I will gradually be looking for higher quality cookware since even new but cheaper cookware is not what the cooktop is asking for. Compared to other brands, Frigidaire was very reasonably priced and that influenced my purchase since it is a big investment for new technology that may still be evolving. All in all I am happy so far.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The 36" top space is great with fast induction heat and bridgeable zone for large cookware. The front placed knobs are convenient and match our Professional double oven. Stylish and versatile.

Awesome Upgrade From Electric Eyes
on January 16, 2024
Posted by: Stroke Ace
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I ordered this unit because I really wanted the knobs versus the touchscreen controls. It has worked well in the first month we have had it, and I love the induction cooking method. It's instant on and instant off instead of the annoying pulsing I hated with electric eyes. I has thrown an error code once or twice, but those went away by turning all the burners off momentarily. Would recommend.

Amazing!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have had our cooktop for a few months, and I love it. I can boil water faster, and cooking is enjoyable. I appreciate the fact that the cooktop is overtly easy to clean. The bridge feature sold me on this particular model, and it works like a dream for making pancakes using my oblong griddle. When they came to measure, they did not measure correctly, and our current propane gas top was slightly larger than the induction cooktop, so the installer improvised by creating a "strip" of metal to go along the back to fill the gap. It will fit properly when we get to the point of replacing the countertops. This Induction Cooktop will not disappoint. Do not hesitate to purchase.

Induction range top.
on March 1, 2024
Posted by: Badger3
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We are very impressed with the power of this Frigidaire induction range top. It is able to boil one cup of water in less than 45 seconds; this is faster than our new microwave. We love the ease of cleaning and modern look compared to our older gas stove.

Worse cooktop ever made
on March 13, 2024
Posted by: DKA1
Horrible horrible appliance! We have had nothing but problems with this junk! Already replaced the main circuit board, the actual induction mechanical part. Now after using the top stays hot well after being done. The stainless scratches are unbelievable and the top is no different. Don't walk... Run!!! Go get a gas cooktop!

5 burner induction cooktop
on April 24, 2024
Posted by: Nic28
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am not an expert cook, just a regular, get dinner on the table kind of cook. Have been using it for about 6 months. Getting used to it and the new cookware I had to get. It has been an adjustment. Burners definitely hum. Pot of water boils quite fast if you use power boil. I make crepes in a steel pan, but the edges don't get as brown which leads me to believe that the element is smaller than the lines indicate. Overall, it is fine for my needs, but not great, hence 4 stars.

Induction is GREAT!!
on April 29, 2024
Posted by: JoshF85139
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have had induction in the past so we already had the proper cookware. Our house came with an older GE glass cooktop but cooking was getting slower and slower, over 12 minutes to boil 8qt of water. New induction will do it in 3.5-4 minutes. spills dont burn to the surface and cleanup is a breeze. We wanted something with knobs so as not to deal with fussy temperature selection built into the glass. Packaging was great, instructions were clear and concise and install was straight forward. There is a minor buzz sound due to the induction elements, but noting to be alarmed with. Over all very, very please with our purchase.
