[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have not been able to find an operation manual All I see and have are installation manuals Seems like a lack of information
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is our second Kitchen Aid induction cooktop, our new home didn’t have the option of anything but gas. That was the most horrible thing that my wife and I had ever tried to cook on, we kept it for about 10 months then installed the Kitchen Aid cooktop. We have really enjoyed it and our zkitchen Aid refrigerator
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I previousely had a Kitchen aid induction cooktop for the last 10 years. It was quick and powerful. Pasta water boiled easily and quickly in a large pot. This new cooktop underperforms and is built vastly differently. The Boost function does not stay on to keep the water continuing up to boil, nope, it shuts down every 4-5 minutes. This requires you the cook to turn it back on. Instead of under 5 minutes to boil a large pot of water, it now takes over 10 minutes, just like a regular electric cooktop. The cooktop other levels are weak in comparison to my old induction top. This new cooktop starts at 5 when you turn it on and you can increase to 9. Basically 5 and below are too weak for sauteing or frying anything. Two functions that I do like are the timer on the cooktop and the lock. Honestly, I'm so disappointed in this appliance. Had I known it had changed so much in the last 10 years, I would not have purchased it. I bought it based on expections and experience with my previous one. I did have a service call and they told me that they had so many blown circuits and power issues that is why they dialed back on performance and created a limiter on the Boost function.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Did not last one month. Stopped working. No parts available. No replacement. 2 months with no working cooktop. Stay away from this and possibly all induction cooktops.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I haven’t experienced any advantage over a standard cooktop. There are also disadvantages such as needing specific pots and pans; making sure the pot is exactly positioned over the burner, and the need to increase the electric source to achieve basic design performance. The cost was 4 times that of a nice Whirlpool cooktop. I guess, if I were a chef, it would be worth it. For me, I mad a poor decision.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's defective. The burners don't work correctly. If you turn on the back burner while you are cooking on the front burner both burners turn down the heat.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a replacement for a 2017 KitchenAid 30 inch version that was already in our home. While we liked the induction cooktop concept to replace it when it went out, my wife indicates the new glass top is not as easy to keep clean as the old top, and she is disappointed in that. The sensor technology is a nice addition and the 5 burners is actually easier to deal with than our old 4 burner. The other minor (albeit costly) issue was we were told by our vendor the new top would fit the cutout as it was still a 30 inch KitchenAid. Well, it did not, we had to bring in a countertop professional and he had to enlarge our cutout by 1 inch. So same brand, newer model, slightly different size. This the 4 stars instead of 5.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very easy to use. i like the safety feature of no hot surface. I am still waiting for the free cookware that goes it. I haven't been able to get through on USA line to claim it.
