Great cook top
on May 13, 2023

The cook top works great, evenly cooks food. The only thing is the outer class edge would easily break or chip. We installed car door edging to help protect it. I have attached 2 photos showing the edging
I would recommend this to a friend!

Wonderful Cooktop
on August 1, 2023

We had a kitchen renovation done and after much research decided on an induction cooktop. Couldn't be happier with our new Cafe induction cooktop. It's so sleek, controls are easy to use. It has the versatility of cooking with gas, without the dangerous fumes. Heats up instantly and cools down just as fast. I love it.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Good but could have been great
on October 13, 2023

from San Diego Ca
The cooktop is very sleek and improves the appear of our kitchen. We switched from natural gas to this electric cooktop. We needed a minor enlargement of the opening for this to fit. We opted to not have the stainless steel rim to prevent any future cleaning issues.
The controls work well and the display dials work fine. Though it would be nice if there were a digital display showing the present power settings. This is shown on the app, as “45%” for instance, but not on the unit itself. It seems like it could be displayed with a firmware change. As it is, it’s still very “analog.”
The unit heats quickly and so far has been performing admirably , though we have only had it a short time so far. It is quiet enough and cleans easily.
Back to the app, it is basically useless. It does tell you if burners are on but nothing more. You cannot even turn off the stove remotely or adjust any heat levels. It may help with the “precision heating” though we have not tried that as the needed cookware and probe are laughably expensive and at least the probe should have been included.
Overall, it’s good but could have been great.

36” induction black no trim EASIEST TO CLEAN
on December 7, 2023
Posted by: Harold
from Tuscaloosa, Al
Just installed the 36 induction. We didn’t want the trim version and bought the solid black one so it would be clean, without trim. My wife didn’t want one until we found out that it will work with hexclad. Seems to work flawless so far. Can’t believe how fast it boils water. CRAZY! She was concerned about the humming noise with the magnets, but trust me, I have to listen close to hear. I wouldn’t even think about humming now. We are super pleased, and we are now looking for a griddle made for induction to try the left side out. We have Hexclad cookware. I have seen the Heston with the Bluetooth features, but we wanted the hexclad that can last forever. Me and my wife now have the lighted back wall fridge freezer by cafe and now have the cooktop. Next is Microwave. Love Cafe Appliances.
