I bought this cooktop in June and installed it not until September because of knee surgery. This cooktop is a replacement for a similar Miele cooktop. This is a much better cooktop than Miele.
We have had the cooktop for about a month now and the heating/cooking performance has been very good especially the middle 20k BTU center burner. Works wonders when stir frying. The only issue we have are that each of the 3 grates come in contact with the stainless steel cooktop and has started to scratch it. The rubber pads provided on the cooktop still leaves areas in which the grates make contact with the cooktop.
I bought this 2 weeks ago to replace my old burner. This cooktop fit snugly but nicely into same space as our old whirlpool cooktop but is much more functional and cooks faster, fits several large pots at the same time. It is a game changer for my cooking!
I just built a new house so I had lots of appliance brands to choose from. I did my research and loved all the features of the Cafe series. The love the Power Boil Burner feature! It helps heating water in no time.
