"Stains" too easy

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I LOVEmy cooktop! It looks fantastic. Getting used to how easily it gets marred up is going to continue to be sad. Any water drops on the outside of a pot/pan or running down the side when the steamer is doing it's job seems to make for continual cleaning. So far that is the only negative thing. All the burner size options and heating is exactly as our sales lady said.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Selected by the builder. Hard to determine where the burners are on the surface without turning it on Still a glass top meaning hard to clean
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Still getting used to new cooktop. The only thing I would mention is that its hard to see the outline of the burners. Have to put pan as close as possible and then adjust when it gets red.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Works great. Bought the same one after 14 years with power outage that messed up the electrical wires.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We purchased this stove about 2 months ago and are pleased thus far with our purchase. The eyes are extremely hot
I bought new cooktop in August. Live alone and do not cook much. Cooktop looks old already. White spots pop up, heat marks from under glass that won’t go away. Kitchenaid’s should not sell this product. I keep a spotless kitchen and this cooktop is embarrassing. Cannot be cleaned away.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
