Customer Ratings & Reviews

The cooktop fit perfectly but as others have noted you have to do some duct plumping to connect the downdraft. The output is a 4 by 10 rectangular and my vent pipe and probably most other vent pipes are 6 inch round. If you, like me need to both transition from rectangular to round and also change direction it is very challenging. I didn't have the room under the cabinet to use a lot of transitions and adapters so it was challenging, Still ended up taking up a lot cabinet space with the duct work, Other than that issue, the cooktop was easy to install and works great,

The cooktop looks very nice and functions well. However we did have difficulty with the installation of the ductwork to the downdraft vent. The bottom of the cooktop extends several inches into the cabinet. In addition, it comes with a rectangular vent connection. A square-to-round adapter is required to fit to the round duct. This adds several inches of space to what is already a tight fit. We had to create a side extension adapter and then use flexible duct to connect to the downdraft vent. This connection was not designed well, i.e., why a rectangular vent connection?

I was replacing an old, old Jennair downdraft cooktop so I didn't have a lot of choices for installation but this fit exactly right and was very much an upgrade. Remember buying a downdraft that you are buying the oven and vent in one so prices are higher than other cooktops of course. It comes with lots of warnings about not working with older style cookware but it's been fine for me thus far. I like the varied options on how it heats up--especially the one that you can set to "melt" making it so much easier to melt some butter without worrying about it starting to burn.

have to make sure the size of the opening is just right, Difficult to install otherwise. Wiring was not bad

Return was easy and fast through the phone representative
