Still Learning but like it a LOT...

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Our cooktop has been installed only a few weeks, but we are enjoying how well it handles our everyday cooking. A very nice surprise was the frying pan and pot/lid we received from KitchenAid. Don't know if it was a special thing or if it's standard, but really appreciate it. The "free" KitchenAid pans work noticably better than the Amazon 'Induction Cookware". We will be researching the best specs for induction pots & pans. Everything is cooking with more consistency and noticably less "splash". Still learning, but liking induction a LOT.
The touch screen hearkens back to the era of pre-Apply touch screens where you just about need to punch a hole through the screen to register a "touch". The UI to turn on the stove top and adjust temperature was clearly lead by an engineering team with no oversight from design. It's on par with an escape room but less fun. There's a way to do it, and I'm sure the ENG team knows that way, but have fun learning for yourself.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Induction Stovetop seems to be picky as to selecting some of the burners. Sometimes the burner I select works and sometimes it doesn't.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It is a beautiful unit, no doubt. Unfortunately it was probably designed for the younger generation who like to control their appliances with their phones. I do not. I find it very frustrating to use. A friend of mine who is a chef, was over for a small dinner party and heard me grousing at the cooktop. He came into the kitchen to see if he could help. After a few tries to make the pasta pot reduce from 'Boil' to 'Simmer' without turning off the unit, which instantly loses your boil, he just shook his head. Cooking isn't fun for me on this cooktop. I'm sad.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First, the good. Nice visually and good layout of burners. Very easy to keep clean. Like bridge feature. Heats quickly.
Now the quirks. Controls over sensitive when stove is off - beeps too often. Has a wifi feature which we can't connect to and don't understand. Difficulty adapting to adjusting temperature level
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have all KitchenAid appliances and couldn’t be happier. Our previous cooktop was gas, which we’ve always had and never considered changing to induction. After getting this one, I only wish we had done it sooner! Once we got the correct cookware, we couldn’t believe how well it performed; water boils in the less than 30 seconds and heat control is much more responsive and cleaner too. Clean up is much easier as well. We highly recommend this induction cooktop if you are considering changing from a gas cooktop, you won’t regret it.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Cooktop look is very clean! The power and controls are glitchy, don't always recognize fingers. This is my 3rd kitchenaid cooktop and the only one with this issue Otherwise works great!
