    Tested Durability

    we replaced our old gas cooktop after 10 years and we took our time for replacement. We checked quality, size, easy cleaning and maintenance. We decided to buy KitchenAid. And it is tested this last Holiday since family members came in from other states and they all love to cook. They cook all the time. And I only gets the chance to clean the cooktop once a week. And it passed the durability and easy maintenance test. Still looks new.
