[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this to replace old Kitchenaid that cracked. Couldn’t get it to turn on at first. Found out none of my pans worked on it. Had to buy complete set of new ones. Added express I hadn’t planned on. Seams to work fine now. Whole kitchen is all Kitchen aid appliances.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this to replace a 12 year old Kitchenaid 4-element Sensor Induction Cooktop that still worked like new but was broken when a drinking glass fell on it. This new cooktop fit into my countertop, was easy to wire in, and works great!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So far I love my new cooktop. It’s heats up fast. I am still learning on how hot each temperature setting is and that’s a learning curve. You cannot sit anything on top of the glass where the controls are or you will get a beeping sound. Took me a couple times to figure out where and why it was alarming. Mostly I was setting a pan on it and it beeped, but once I sat a damp kitchen towel on it and it alarmed as well. So I try and be aware to not set anything on that area of the cooktop which is a little annoying but I get why. A couple of times after turning on a second burner, the first burner that was already on and being used turned off. It beeps when this happens so you can quickly see that it’s turned off. Not sure what’s happening there. Overall I love it though. It’s beautiful and sleek and looks so much better than a slide in range.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I installed this about a month ago. The best feature for us is the capacitive controls that make cleanup orders of magnitude easier. The ability to automatically set zones for simmer or boil or warm is most convenient.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We are impressed with how much quicker these get heated up and cooled down compared to our electric cooktop.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this and love the technology. The controls need to be modified. I know we live in a world of touch screen, but these touch buttons coupled with the beautiful glass allow fingerprints to be left at every push, especially since you have to tap multiple times to raise the controls up or down. Locking the panel requires you to keep your finger on at least 3-5 seconds. So there's a lot of finger grease on the stove. This isn't a phone where your hands are relatively clean while using. You're cooking and many times have spooge all over your hands. Maybe I'm obsessive but I'm constantly wiping the fingerprints off the glass. Good old fashioned knobs or other controls not embedded in the glass would make this a superstar appliance.
