  • Rated 5 out of 5 stars

    Great design and even better functionally

    Had this for about 7 months now and it is still working and looking fantastic. It so nice to have 5 burners on a 30 inch stovetop compared to the 4 on most other 30 inch ones. Would definitely recommend if you want to elevate your kitchen look!

    High end quality cooktop!

    Install process wasn’t fun. Had to have the opening cut larger in the granite counter top. Made a huge mess. No issues with the product itself though. Haven’t been using it long so I can’t yet speak to its durability. Works great though. Heats up fast (unlike the Kitchenaid oven we purchased). I like that the larger burners have the option to only turn on a smaller inner area if you need more small burners or maybe you just don’t want to put a small pot on a back burner and have to reach for it.
