I like the burners but do not like the location of the controls, my mistake for not thinking that thru. Stainless cook tops SUCK to clean but the burners help a little. The griddle is only good for pancakes or similar. Horrible for bacon or any other meat cooking, splatter everywhere and hard to clean. I will only use it rarely. I burners work good and heat evenly and the center burner works great. Just hate the control locations for my use.
I would recommend this to a friend!

This cooktop has a really big griddle and heats much quicker than my old GE cooktop. I use propane. i wanted at least a 36" cooktop. price was much better than other prestigious brands and the cooktop is georgeous. Center burner heats big pots of water very quickly. burner grates hold small pans without tipping them over. total of 5 burners but i keep the griddle on 2 of them because it works so well. only thing i would change is the control knobs on the top. they are good and i like them but they do get more splatter on them than the knobs on the front of the cooktop.

Everything works as it’s supposed to; the burner setup is versatile and the lighted knobs are helpful. We’re very pleased.

Love the features of this cooktop. It's 36" and so big and spacious for various skillets and pans at the same time. The power burner in the center is wonderful and look forward to using it often. Best feature is you can turn the gas off while not in use. Love it!

Exactly what I needed in replacement cooktop!

#1 reason is for an easier surface to clean when there are drips and spills. The continuous "basin" provides that, along with easy to clean under the removable burners.
#2 is the gas shut off switch that provides extra protection should earthquake happen (we have them here) along with not accidentally turning on a burner.
#3 are the variety of burner sizes and capabilities for those times one needs different cooking strengths at the same time.
#4 the griddle fits snugly over the 2 left burners with a "catch" groove so the fat doesn't overflow,
#5 the grates over the entire unit fit snugly, yet are easy to lift and clean as necessary.

Great Performance/Hate Scratches
on July 22, 2022

I have had my cooktop for 10 months. Cooking features with the different burner sizes and output is wonderful. Love cooking with gas. Love cooking on this cooktop. Also love the grates and how heavy duty they are and look. Love the illumination of the burners to show that the burners are on. However, with the price point and high end reputation with Cafe Appliances, I am very disappointed in how easily this cooktop scratches. I have followed the cleaning according to the guidelines, but it is next to impossible to clean around the knobs in the direction of the grain to get in between and around the knobs, which has left several scratches, no matter how careful I am. I use a microfiber cloth and have been extremely careful with light wiping. The smallest grain of salt (which you use all of the time to cook with) will leave horrible scratches. The amount of time that I spend just to prep the cooktop for cleaning (spray it down with water and dish soap to dissolve everything, shine a light to make sure there is no small food particles, or anything in sight left behind, is ridiculous for this busy mom. It is very frustrating that my new cafe appliance that I spent extra on for the Cafe experience and name looks scratched and worn in my brand new kitchen remodel, even with my careful care and cleaning.

I love the ease of using this cook top. I really appreciate the safety button which turns off the gas while I am not cooking. This stove top is also so easy to clean.

Love the stove

Love this stove. It works really well. Although the stainless is hard to clean. Not sure why but it is. Also the rubber feet for the graters are a pain when cleaning. Finally the rubber gaskets around the knob stems come off too easily. I had on drop inside and it was difficult to retrieve. Be nice if firmer gaskets were used.
