[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Like night and day from my old electric unit. Boils water much faster with the Power Boil. Still learning which burner to use for each food application.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very hot burner. Great for stir fry. Just be careful with cleaning up your spills right away. Otherwise, Cerama Brite is great for glass surface sticky stains.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We upgraded to a five burner cook top and are so glad that we did. The unit is very well designed and I especially like that the control knobs are sealed so that liquids can’t flow under them. The control options are also terrific.
I’ve been using my cooktop for over two months. I was replacing a 26 year old Amana downdraft cooktop. Had I known what this Kitchen Aide cooktop would do for my kitchen and cooking I would of replaced my old cooktop years ago! First it is beautiful and quickly updated the look of my kitchen. Beyond aesthetics it is perfect for the home chef! 5 versatile burners which heat fast and the downdraft vent is very powerful, haven’t even turned it past medium. I read the reviews before ordering and my biggest fear was scratches and cleaning. After 2 months of heavy use not one scratch and cleaning is super easy! Wipe it down after use and if any marks are left simply use a little of the Cermabrite, use the scrubber and wipe till it becomes a dry white film. Use one piece of paper towel to buff off the film and the cooktop is left looking like brand new! I gave ease of use a 4 as the burners may be hard to identify for older eyes, my model does not have the white outlines as in some pics as to where the burners are.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall, I'm very pleased with this cooktop. I could nit-pick about the knobs not all having the same feel and the heating elements being difficult to see, but I'm really pleased I made this purchase and would do so again.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using this for 2 weeks, and I like it. But, it's tough to keep the glass cooktop clean and shiny.
