[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I lov this stoe top. It heats well and is easy to adjust. The cleaning is a breeze. It also looks nice in my kitchen.
The grates do not work well with smaller pots, creating an unsafe situation as the pot rocks and tilts on the grate. Also, the simmer on the burners is set much too high, making it inconvenient to have to switch to the specific simmer burner when needing to simmer a dish. Hinged grates are heavy to lift for cleaning, another hazard if they come down on you. Grates are also hard to keep clean. Cook top looks nice, but it ends there.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall nice cooktop. Easy to change to LP. However, you cannot simmer on any burner. The flames are all to high. You can adjust but you need an extremely small screwdriver which I have not been able to find.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've used my new cooktop for one week and it works very well. I had to get used to turning the knobs up to turn the heat down as the flame starts out on high. My old one (which was worn out) started on low and I turned it up to get a higher flame. I'm sure I will get used to the new one. It's easy to clean and fits perfectly where my old one was. It looks beautiful and the company was very accommodating when shopping.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Consistent heat with different sized burners. I have a 12 quart stock pot which easily fits on the center burner.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The cooktop would be great if the flame was more adjustable. Low is more like high. The flame doesn’t change much from high to low, which is frustrating.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just recently bought this after our 45+ year old cooktop broke down. It was a pain to clean it up. Now we have a 5 burner that is so easy to clean when necessary. My wife likes the cast-iron grates that lets you slide the cooking utensils to the other burners without having to lift them up to place them elsewhere. She will probably like it more as time goes by.
