      WOW! This cooktop features are awesome!

      We bought the KitchenAid, because it was 1 of a very few with 5 elements, with 1 of the elements able to handle a large stockpot and wide dutch oven pan. Those looking for similar features will be pleased. Just note that this cooktop will require a cabinet that fits a 36" top or just under 35" (~34...

      We've had this cooktop for about a month now. The cooktop is nice and evenly heats our pots and pans. When you purchase this item, be sure to purchase Afresh cooktop cleaner as well as somethings cannot be cleaned with soap and water.

      My 16 year old Kitchenaid cooktop finally bit the dust. Shopping for a new one was difficult because of the cut if our Granite. We had to find one that fit. Another Kitchenaid was the only one that would fit so we found this model. I was looking for one with a flat top and integrated temperature controls but none were available. This model has the stainless knows and they are so hard to clean around but I was spoiled with the totally flat one I had. The entire surface seems to be very difficult to clean. I already have rings on my burner area that I can't seem to get rid of. Nothing has been burned on them. Not as happy with this one as my old one.

      I love the overall size, the burner options and how quickly it heats. I also found that I much prefer the knobs to the complete flat-top, all electronic model. I wish I could have gotten this model with a "bridge" for a griddle, but that is really the only "complaint" I have, which is not a major one. I still believe that all glass cooktops generally are difficult because of cleaning; however, that is true for ALL brands and configurations and there are no other options for those of us who do not have access to gas. I have purchased suggested cleaners, which helps, but I still wish there was a simpler way to keep them clean and beautiful.
