    Well Done Maytag

    Well-built cooktop with metal knobs and stainless trim front and back. The included griddle is dual-sided and is also of good quality. Heat-up time is quick with an indicator that stays on as long as the surface is hot as well as the usual "On" indicator. I replaced a 1998 30-inch Maytag bought at Circuity City due to 2 burners being burned out and upgraded to this larger model. It was an excellent upgrade that I am satisfied with.

    Maytag cooktop

    Excellent item. Larger by 1/4 inch than GE though. We had to cut the hole larger.

  • Since I can't find a place locally that has this cooktop on the floor, can you tell me if the cooktop glass is totally smooth...meaning the glass does not have any etching on it? Online pics show parallel lines across the surface. Thanks!

    Hello EasyClean. The Cooktop is smooth. We hope this helps!
