We bought this cooktop 2 years ago. Love the performance and the looks. Major issue is the cooking surface. It has heat fractured twice now and I'm having a difficult time getting it replaced for the second time.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello - Thank you so much for taking a moment to share your experience and review for this cooktop. We're sorry to see that the surface has fractured multiple times. That is not expected to happen at all.
We are going to be taking this information and sending it over to our product team to review. This way we can make sure that this doesn't happen with other cooktops going forward. We appreciate you sharing and bringing this to our attention.
We hope you have a great rest of the week. - Jonathon@Café
The Cafe radiant electric cooktop arrived undamaged, had dimensions that matched what was in the online installation guide, was easy for the appliance technician to install, and works as expected. No complaints.
VERY NICE COOKTOP BUT IT DIDN'T COME WITH THE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS OR SUPPLIES. :(

Hi there,
Thanks for taking the time to leave a review for your cooktop. We're so sorry to hear about the lack of documentation and parts, we can certainly understand how this would be frustrating for you. Know that one of our agents will be reaching out soon via email to investigate further. Keep an eye on your spam and junk folders in case their message ends up there.
Sleek design that is cleanable (no knobs gathering food). Burner format is great for cooking large meals. Locking system is great concept to prevent accidents!
We remodeled our kitchen and updated the cooktop. I am impressed with the heat distribution while cooking. This model also came with a timer on the control panel which I did not have on the previous cooktop. It also came with a griddle that you can use over the two burners.
