      Beautiful and functional

      I am in love with my new cooktop. It cooks so evenly and quickly. We don't have natural gas in our area but this electric cooktop is just as great as a gas. It cleans up beautifully with just a warm dishcloth and drying it with a microfiber towel. So easy and sleek.

      Most Liked Negative Review

      Sorry I bought this!

      Pros: - Quiet Cons: - Controlling the temperature is impossible and very frustrating. An example: I was cooking chili on the dual front burner - set a little bit above "low" and the chili was boiling. I turned it to "low", and five minutes later it was still boiling. Waited another five minutes...

      The burner outline graphics are impossible to see when the burner is off. Must turn on an element and have it glowing to know where to put the pan. The knob-turn directions are not consistent. Clock-wise rotation will turn setting up on one knob and down on another knob.

      I love that this cooktop has the dual elements and melt element. I just wish the control knobs all turned in the same direction to operate. Every time I use the knobs I need to check to see what direction to turn them for the heat required

      My first Kitchen Aid cooktop failed because the control system malfunctioned. I bought a cheaper replacement and it was only good for burning everything. Took the leap and purchase a second KitchenAid. Wish it had numbers on the dials and the controls are not consistently orientated. One goes left and the next goes right??? But it controls and cook fine.

      The cooktop looks nice overall. I had to enlarge the original 30" standard opening in the granite to make this cooktop fit. I had to cut 3/4" on the front edge and 7/8" on either side. The depth was also a little deeper, so I had to modify the cabinet drawer under the cooktop to drop it 3/8" to make it still usable. I did not use the rubber strips on the underside edge during final installation because it would have been impossible to determine the exact position of the strips so they wouldn't mash out beyond the edge of the stainless steel cooktop edge once it was seated. I did not want them to be recessed either as food crumbs would get trapped under there. Instead, I just used a thin bead of clear caulk underneath to seal the edge. My granite is very level, so I have no gaps. It looks very precise and nicely fitted. The cooktop seems to work well and throws off a lot of heat. That was my first observation when my wife was cooking her first meal. I said, "Whoa! That thing throws off a lot of heat." I really like the five burners, which is why we wanted a new cooktop. I have a couple of issues. One is with the circular markings on the glass top. They are quite difficult to see to keep the pan centered. It's like the etching in the glass is too dark and thin. I also don't like not having markings or increments around the control knobs. They are just 'L' to 'H' and a sweeping arc. No tick marks that I can get familiar with for certain temperatures. I will need to learn this unit based on relative position instead. Overall, it's nice and seems to perform well.

      Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

      Literally hate it after only 3 weeks. It cooks, however too much trouble to maintain. Just put a pot on it without moving and it makes a mark. Why, other than coil, is glasstop the only choice for electric. What happened to some kind of grid for the eyes? Also knob indicators don't light up to show what eye is on.

      While it has taken me a little bit of time to get to know, this stove top, and all the features, I have found it works the same every single time. High, medium, low on an aisle is the same every time you use that I, unlike my previous stove top. I love the size of it, and I love all the features.
