I love the front left burner which evenly heats my pans with its dual concentric burner. One of the knobs is malfunctioning (very sticky and doesn't turn without grating).
The stove is taller than we expected, which is a not ideal for someone who is 5'4". I feel like my elbows are up to my neck as I tend the stove. It would be helpful if the stove height were an inch or two lower, which could easily be accomplished if the stove were designed to take more space in the lower cabinet. The lip of the stove prevented us from lowering it in the installation.
I am so in love with my new cooktop it is big it is roomy it works amazing I'm so glad I went with this cook range rather than a drop in it's just so gorgeous to the eye I can't
We purchased all cafe appliances for home. I love all of them except 36 inch cooktop. We have only had the cooktop a month. Already the finish has come off of the grates. Instead of black, they are now gray. Also, the burners burn the same weather on high or low. For the amount of money that the cooktop is, you would think it would be built better. My previous cooktop - a Jenn-air was 16 years old and the flame output was much more consistent. The grates also never discolored and looked as new as the day we bought it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello,
It can be worrying when the finish fades from your cooktop's grates, and we're so sorry this happened. Your experience with our appliances is important to us, so we hate to hear the quality of this cooktop isn't what you expected. We'll make sure our product design team sees your comments as well.
I am loving the new rangetop! Had not cooked with gas in years, and am greatly enjoying it. The different size burners is great from small cookware to large. And from simmer to fast cooking! Would recommend this product
