[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Still getting used to this cooktop. It is very sleek and modern looking. We upgraded from a Frigidaire Professional with the knobs on one side. I like that this has no knobs to clean around as it is all touch control. I am still adjusting to the controls and do kinda miss them being on the side but just a learning curve to work through for me. It is nice having an induction cooktop. Everything heats up very quickly. Just a word to the wise: don’t be naive to think it will immediately cool down as soon as it is turned off. The burner area will still have some residual heat so you will still need to be a little cautious. Yes if you remove a pan for more than a brief period it will stop heating and that is a big advantage. And there is a light that will stay on that will tell you the surface is still hot until it has cooled down. You can definitely tell that safety is a top feature with this cooktop. You can lock the cooktop while you are cooking so your controls don’t inadvertently get changed while you are using the cooktop but you can still easily press the on/off button when needed to turn off the control. There is also a child safety lock feature that you can use if you have kids or in my case a crazy cat that might accidentally press some controls. I haven’t tested it but there is also a key stuck feature that will sound an alert if a control is held for too long and then turn off the cooktop if the control is still held after the alert. Again, I think this might be tested in my house by a crazy cat. I also appreciate the timer feature. So easy to set the timer right there on the stovetop without having to use another device or appliance for that. It is the small details that matter. Overall this definitely feels like a high end product that gives your kitchen an upgrade and elevates your cooking experience. Frigidaire continues to deliver standout kitchen appliances!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Thank you for sharing such a detailed review of your 36" Induction Cooktop with MatteGuard™.
We’re glad to hear you’re enjoying the modern design and the benefits of induction cooking, especially the fast heat response and the clean, knob-free touch control surface. It’s also great to know the built-in safety features—such as control lock, child lock, hot surface indicators, and auto shut-off protections—are adding confidence and convenience to your cooking experience.
Your feedback about the learning curve is very understandable, especially when transitioning from a traditional cooktop with physical controls. Induction systems do behave differently, including the brief residual heat you noted, and your observations are helpful for others making a similar upgrade.
