We had the same brand type cooktop when we built the house 16 years ago. It cracked, so we went with the same exact one. It cooks great. Looks beautiful. Is very hard to keep clean and every little splatter shows. I also struggle with food dropping down into the downdraft. Overall, am happy with the product and would recommend.
Really like it! Brings water to a rolling boil quickly and keeps it there. The Rangel of low simmer and high heat burners allow for great control. Only issue, and it’s a small issue, is that the knobs and burner covers are Brett’s cheap and will likely need to be replaced at some point.
1. The grates on the burner are not shaped to allow round bottomed woks because there is a metal plate at the center. Therefore you have to stick to either flat bottomed pans - same limitation as an electric hotplate 2. If your milk boils over, it goes all over the flat glass and can get into the downdraft very quickly. I had to scramble to stop the boiling hot milk from flooding the downdraft. Not a safe situation. 3. Glass bottom is a different look and easier to wipe clean/shine.
Absolutely regret owning this insanely expensive and utterly horrible range. Makes me mad and sad every time I look at this badly designed piece. They even have their own logo partially hidden under the grill. It was delivered with some parts missing and what they mailed later does not fit. The whole thing looks like an amateur designing a range for first time. You can get lot better looking and functioning range for fraction of the price.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
