Nice cooktop!

Overall the fit, finish, and durability seem great. I really love the included grill surface. My only minor complaint is the gas controls. When you turn the knob it has three distinct zones. Igniter only, igniter plus gas, gas only. The igniter plus gas zone is very narrow so either you go slow and are in the igniter only zone and it clicks but nothing lights or you go a little fast and have gas pouring out but no igniter clicking. Some kind of positive stop feedback would have been great for starting each burner.
We cook on our cooktop at least 2-3 times a day. We are a very active family and love the simpleness of this cooktop but also the beauty it adds to the kitchen. It is very durable and am very pleased with all the features.
This cooktop is a replacement for my old GE cooktop which I loved, but now love this one even more. My old grates had a shiny finish which dulled with use. These cast iron grates are so much better, plus the griddle is a bonus. The backlit knobs are a very nice addition.
We have had this cooktop for about two weeks and so far it works great. We upgraded from a 30 inch and I feel like this one is more powerful and heats up quickly. Love the griddle.
Love the lights on the knobs, modern looking cooktop and different size burners. Love that it comes with a griddle top which is top quality and great for weekend breakfasts!
The cafe cooktop was a necessity in my new kitchen. I have always dreamed of having a gas cooktop and since I was doing a major remodel I did some research and decided on this cooktop. Overall I really love this cooktop. The flame is very precise. The low is actually low. My main concern is how quickly and often the stainless steel is scratching. It managed to have several big scratches before it was even installed. It was scratching just from simply trying to clean the tape residue off from the packaging. I am a very cautious person when it comes to taking care of things. I was taking great care to clean this cooktop and it was still scratching. I am honestly concerned about what this expensive cooktop is going to look like in a few months. It's disappointing that such an overall great cooktop could look awful soon.
