We had this installed in our new home. It looks amazing! I haven't had a gas cooktop in a long time so am getting used to cooking on gas again but I love how fast it heats up food, it's easy to clean and looks awesome.
Love cooking on this cooktop, but it did scratch very easily
I would recommend this to a friend!

Love the rang top and all its features but why does it scratch easily?? Any type of cleaning around the knobs shows scratches on it. I certianly don't use anything more abrasive than a soft sponge or tissue. Why would it show all kinds of scratch marks?
The range of BTU burners (20,000 on the center and 5000 on the right rear) gives you the ability to just keep things warm or get a real blast of heat to quickly boil water. The griddle, however, is extremely heavy and heats unevenly. The bronze knobs give it a very attractive appearance.
We love the cooktop and put all Cafe appliances in our kitchen when we remodeled. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because both of the outside grates were broken when we opened the package. When they sent the new ones, those were broken too, in the same place. We haven't heard back about replacing the replacements, but we're hopeful to get ones that are not broken.
Have had for 2 weeks and love the clean lines, the lighted knobs and ease of cleaning. Burners provide a lot of heat and center burner has an awesome simmer function
