[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Slow response to touchpad, large burner is supposed to sense the size of cookware to go from small to large burner. Has Never worked properly. Had to have multiple things replaced on it and it is still not adequate. I do appreciate the induction part where things heat up quickly and immediately turn off. But have been dismayed with the quality of this particular induction cooktop.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The cooktop heats faster than any I have ever used. No more real need to preheat pans. Even a heart cast iron skillet gets hot in like 30 seconds. It entertains you with stimulating sounds while it works. It is so nice to have nothing sticking up when you clean it. My only complaint is that I wish they had inverted the burner layout on either side so you would have a small and medium burner in the front.
This is nothing like the induction inhad in my other house. Doesn’t boil water in 90 seconds, doesn’t heat quickly, and it is a weird configuration. Why would the 2 small burners be in front and the 2 mediums be in back? I end up using the large one in the middle most of the time. We are a family of 2. Small burners is for heating like a can of vegetables in a small pan. It is difficult to get the temperature correct to cook and it is more like an electric cooktop. Slow to heat and hard to get the right temp to cook on. I have to use 7 or 8 to get it hot to cook and then down to 5 or 6, sometimes 7 to be able to keep the heat on the pan
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought it a month ago and it took forever to get installed. The processes were overcomplicated and contradicting. Not to mention once it finally was able to be installed, the installers punctured the side of my cabinet with a couple screws.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I have bought A LOT of Kitchen Aid appliances over the years - across four different homes, and have typically been happy. In our last home we had the induction cooking/oven combo and I loved it. So when we moved I immediately replaced the standard electric cooktop in this out with this induction cooktop. First off, the layout of the 'burners' is ridiculous. If you have a large pan on the center burner, you can't put anything on the smaller back burners, and can barely fit the smallest pan on the front burners. Super inconvenient. But worst of all is the middle large 'dual zone' burner is not dual zone. When you put a large pan on, only the center heats up. Fine for boiling water but when you are actually trying to cook eveything comes out uneven as you have to keep pushing whatever you are cooking to the middle - the real heat never gets to the outer part of the pan. Had service come out to look at it and they are telling me it is designed that way - that the outer part of the pan is not supposed to heat up? Seriously?? I will continue to pursue this but given the hassle I would say you should look elsewhere for an induction top.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[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!
