[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easy to use, efficient, and has a sleek, stylish design! Love being able to gauge my heat with numbers. The Simmer and Keep Warm functions are also nice
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was installed by the builder and it was not the one I was supposed to get originally. I had a scary experience with it the first time I used it. It would "boil" on Simmer and my pot of water overflowed and burned my cooktop....there was also a funny smell coming from under my cabinet. I've only had this for less than a month and already they are replacing the computer boards. It's been a huge inconvenience because I have to have the builder electricians come and remove it and set it on the counter so that the repair man can change the parts, and then have the builder electricians come back and reinstall it!!! Also an inconvenience because I have to make other plans as to how I'm going to cook dinner. Not Happy!!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

While beautiful to look at this cooktop has several issues number 1 is turning itself on - I have awakened several days with a random burner on full blast including this morning. I do not recommend this and I don't feel safe with it in my home

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using the cook top for a couple of weeks. Not exactly what I was hoping for. Doesn't measure up to the white one i replaced (warning to not store glass jars above the cook top is a valid one!) Markings are not as easy to see/read; both controls and element rings. They heat up extra fast and hot and they adjust slowly when trying to decrease heat; I've overcooked multiple dishes already.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like the new cooktop fine. My old cook top was failing and it was urgent that I replace it. As with any new appliance there is some adjustment. My old cooktop was more able to see the eye with the outline around the eyes and lighting is more dim. All these features may be by design but I like the more visible lighting.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This cooktop is unbelievable. So much room pots and pans. The controls are so sensitive and they keep the temperature stable I don’t know how they do it.
