    36” KitchenAid electric cooktop

    We really like our new KitchenAid cooktop that replaced a 24 year old KitchenAid cooktop that worked fine but we wanted a new one as part of the kitchen remodel. One problem. The countertop cut out instructions provided by KitchenAid were confusing and the installer thought the cut out was wrong but in the end he was able to install our new cooktop. There were a few sleepless nights until it was all worked out.

    I love my new range.

    My old range had 4 burners, this one has 5. All of the burners heat at whatever temperature that you set it at. It is very easy to clean, unlike the old one that i had. Also, the large burners are nice to have.

    Horrible

    After 1 time normal reasonable use, the surface bubbled up in spots around the burner. After following proper cleaning instructions, the spots did not come out. My 20 year old former cooktop was in better shape than this one after 1 use.

    KitchenAid 36" Glass cooktop

    Bought this to replace a 20 year old KitchenAid glass cooktop (36"). I would have thought it would be an exact fit, but it was not. This was just 1/4" too large to drop in to our granite counter opening. The glass also shows smudges and is harder to clean than our old model, and it is harder to see the size of the cooking elements to determine which one to use.
