[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] During the installation process the top cracked. No crazy forces were applied. However, because it was touched, Kitchenaid determined this to be our fault and no help was given. I proceeded to get replacement parts (through searsdirect), which I understand drop ship directly from the manufacturer (Whirlpool). We've now had 2 show up broken... and have been waiting 4 weeks to get this cooktop going. Absolutely worst experience ever. I'm half tempted to bring this to the BBB... but at this stage just want to be able to cook again.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The elements heat rapidly and evenly. The 'ultra' feature shortens the time for boiling a large pot of pasta water by about 1/2 against my old cook top. It also looks very sleek and the downdraft works well. . Didn't give 5 stars because it's hard to keep clean - even with the recommended cleaning kit. I've only had it about 2 months and so far so good, we'll see how it wears over time.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using it for a month now and it works fine. Took some adjustments coming from a gas stove. Pans heat up differently so you have to use caution or you’ll have a mess on your hands. Clean up can be a challenge but with the right cleaners it does clean up well.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So far so good- I do wish the burners were more clearly marked since the outlines are very faint (for aesthetic reasons, I'm sure).
