[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I would have been happier if the knob controls had been aligned vertically to the side rather than horizontally directly in front for the 36" model. Additionally, the foam lining around the perimeter was shredded upon product arrival and that suggested a rather shoddy attention to detail. I have called on KitchenAid customer support to requesting a repair team to my home to examine the product and make appropriate repairs or modifications.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Was part of builder's package in newly built house. Seems to cook well and evenly. Cleanup is easy of course but I find it to smear easily regardless of cleaning with soapy water or Weimann's stove top cleaner. Takes a lot of careful buffing to get out the strokes left after the cleaning process.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Have been unable to use on a regular basis because the kitchen aid retractable downdraft is making a loud noise and has no suction power. Kitchen Aid repair specialist service the unit on 7/23.The noise went away for a day and has return. He states the suction problem is in the duct work. The original HVAC company that installed the duct work states it the downdraft that not working. Will get a 2nd opinion from another HVAC Co.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
