    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!

    A Cooktop with great function and looks

    The installers were great. The cooktop is beautiful. It is easy to use, has multiple dual function burners including simmer and melt options. A setting for continuous boil without spilling is fantastic - no more guessing for us coooking novices. The letter/etchings for the gauges is grey on black so it's not the easiest to see but it does function to make the entire top look black. The look is great with our other appliances and the registration was easy with included QR code on the warranty card. We've had it 9 days with no issues. The best feature is it does not shut off automatically if you drip water or sauce on the cooktop. Our prior cooktop would shut off if this happened and if you didn't see, the food stopped cooking. We are really very satisfied with this cooktop and being a KitchenAid, you know it's quality.

    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.

    Bent Knob, Precarious Install, Suspect Safety

    The first knob is bent off to the side. The installers tried to bend it back. It won't stay straight. The glass cooktop seemed to give them difficulty installing it. I do not think it is sitting correctly. They did not use the brackets to hold it down onto the granite counter top. I had to reference the installation manual, and politely suggest using the foam stripping, and showed them what may be a better way to install it, according to the manual. The glass cooktop sits on the countertop in a way that if weight was applied to the corner, there is a lot of potential for the glass to snap. The worst thing that happened was when modifying the cabinet, they ran a shop vac, which must have been full, or the filter was clogged, and they blew fine saw dust all over my kitchen, and living room. It requires deep cleaning. I want to be compensated.
