[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Depth of cooktop (Thin) made it one of only a few that would fit in our island without major modifications. Overall a great choice for a basic electric glass cooktop without a lot of bells and whistles.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We love our cooktop. It heats up quickly and maintains an even heat. I like the multi heating elements on one of the elements I use the keep warm setting all the time. It wipes down great for uh-o’s that happen while cooking This cooktop is very versatile especially during the holidays when you need all five elements. We are very satisfied with our purchase
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We really do not like this cooktop. Within the first few months, we had to have parts replaced because one of the burners would never cool down. Overall, the burners take way too long to cool down to another level, 30-40 seconds. We have burned so many things! We had another Kitchenaid cooktop for many years and it worked so much better. We are really sorry we are having to put up with this cooktop.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought the cooktop as part of a kitchen remodel and appliance upgrade. I make my wife breakfast every morning and the results are always consistent. I particularly like the smooth surface with no control knobs, which makes the cooktop much easier to clean.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this cooktop and it elevated everything I made in it. The heat consistency from simmering a large stockpot of bone broth for all day to boiling potatoes that don't boil over anymore to frying meats, this cooktop is the best I have worked with. So happy with it.
We had to replace our old KItchenAid cooktop, which we had for about 24 years, beacause the glass had cracked and a couple of the elements stopped working. This model was a direct replacement so we decided to buy this one. On the whole, the cooktop works well, but as a few other customers have commented, it does run hotter than the older model. We had to go through a learning curve so that we could control the heat properly. The glass top seems to smugde quite easily, and some marks will not come off despite using the recommended cleaning methods. The control area smudges very easily and finger marks are left behind, which at times can be a bit hard to clean. The one big issue we have is that the LEDs indicating the power levels of the elements are very dim and one has to look closely to see what level is set. This is very irksome. With the state of current technology, KitchenAid could have chosen better devices so that the element settings are easy to read. Also, while cleaning, if there is any cleaner on the controls then they start beeping, especially the Control Lock. The cleaner has to be wiped off very quickly off the controls. It is because of these niggly issues that I have given this cooktop 2 stars.
