Powerful Range
on July 30, 2017
Posted by: Shreshrey
from Olney
I really like this range it is beautiful and easy to clean. My only complaint is the grill part, a piece has already broken off, it seems to be wearing down and chipping away. Perhaps the grill cannot sustain the heat from the burners. Now I am on the hunt for a new grill and I can't imagine how much that must be. I've only been using it for 4 years so I'm surprised.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Miserable to clean!

The stove top cooks excellent and does everything I expected it to do. HOWEVER, the reflective black glass surface is impossible to keep clean. Every little splatter or smudge stands out. Every time it's used, we have to completely dismantle the top down to bare glass and clean, clean, clean. Repeated cleanings will sometimes (but rarely) remove all smears. It doesn't matter what cleaning product we use, it all leaves a smeary surface.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Not build for cooking!

This cooktop has a big flaw.. it's not hermetic in the electric system, and eventually you'll spill some of your cooking food, and the electric system will fry.... twice in 6 months, worse stove ever!!

Do be careful about bumping edges, say with the olive oil bottle, as it can chip & crack. Someone commented on wishing to be able to turn down to simmer? My mom taught me the trick is to turn back like you are turning off, past the clicker, and you can adjust down to super low heat. (Also see the installation instructions pg. 8 - states that you can adjust the "low" flame height by removing control knob and adjusting with pliers & screwdriver). As far as comments made about cleaning, I keep a small razor scraper to use around the burners and always try to get sticky stuff up quickly (use&care guide says sugary spills if allowed to cool may cause pitting/leave permanent marks to the glass surface). To get the surface nice & shiny (streak free) after cleaning always finish up by drying/polishing with a microfiber cloth - works great.

Exceeded our expectations!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We looked at many cooktops for our kitchen remodel and chose this Kitchen Aid Architect cooktop. It was beautiful right out of the carton. Easy to clean, use, plus the powerful burners exceeded our expectations!
Finally a cooktop worthy of my Gramma's cookware!

Love how this cook top cooks, cleanup not so much

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this cooktop for my kitchen remodel. I love the size, and the fact that there is so much room to have multiple pots. I had a glass/gas cooktop before and the cleanup wasn't so bad. This ceramic glass cooktop is more difficult to clean. I think that I have found the trick to ensure that it looks as good after the cooking as it did before. Everything I have cooked so far has come out better than on my old cooktop.

Cook Top

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the looks and feel. But the glass is hard to keep clean. Our previous SS unit hid the "soiling" much better...not any cleaner...just harder to see.

10 years and counting...

I bought this cooktop 10 yeas ago, when I remodeled my house. I chose it because of the shallow depth, which allowed me to have a bank of 3 drawers underneath- the top one more like a tray that holds knives and other gadgets (thermometers, spoon rests, scoops, sharpening stone, etc.) used for various cooking tasks. Over the years, I have determined the following: the glass surface is not my favorite it's streaky (as someone else said) when cleaning it; if something boils over, it seems to fuse to the glass (I even tried using a glass scraper); don't let moisture (even cleaning solution) get on the ignition port- it will continuously spark, then you have to unplug it until it dries out before you can use it again. The worst that happened- someone [in my household] dropped something round on the front edge and cracked the glass (I know it was round because of the smooth curve), which hasn't affected the performance. So be careful of that. Otherwise, it works well and I love it, I would (will eventually) buy it again.
