Thermador - Masterpiece 36" Built-In Gas Cooktop with 5 Pedestal Star Burners and ExtraLow Slect and LP Conversion - Stainless Steel

I just loved this cooktop. It worked well until one day the front right burner and star cap melted. I decided to go with another brand. We will keep our fingers crossed that it does not happen again. Best Buy handled my exchange like a CHAMP. This is the reason I purchase EVERYTHING from them.

Black coating (paint?) is rubbing off grates after only a couple of months of mild usage. Thermador doesn’t warranty. They say cosmetic. These grates don’t appear to be cast iron like they used to be, so you can’t reseason.

After using the Thermador SGSXP365TS cooktop for about a week, I am very pleased with the overall performance and quality. The cooktop delivers on its promise, with heat control being especially impressive—whether you’re searing, simmering, or boiling, it offers a consistent and responsive experience. One thing I wasn’t expecting was the grates. They're not made of cast iron, which was a bit surprising given the price, but I actually don’t mind this. The grates are lighter and easier to handle, making them more practical to clean and manage. The design of the burners is great, and I particularly love the XLO burners and the simmer feature. It’s a thoughtful touch, and I’m excited to try it out for more delicate dishes, like making pasta sauce from scratch. The pedestal burners are another feature worth highlighting. They make cleanup a breeze since they’re easy to wipe down, and the stove's rounded contours—rather than square edges—help with spills, making them less of a hassle to clean. Overall, the Thermador SGSXP365TS cooktop is a solid choice for anyone looking for a high-quality, efficient, and easy-to-maintain cooking surface. Definitely worth the investment in my opinion!

We've had ours for about 6 months and it's been a huge improvement over our last stove. Heats quickly, sears steaks well, heat control is excellent. XLO works well although we don't use it very often. Very easy to clean. If you're on the fence about which model to get, definitely get the pedestal burners - the burners are easier to clean and the stove contours are rounded instead of squarish which makes spills easier to clean. XLO is nice but honestly we could live without it. Great if you do a lot of slow braises or sauces that require low temps, but not really necessary.

We love this cooktop and highly recommend it. If you check my review on the Thermador freezer, you will see that I do not recommend it. 5is cooktop is completely the opposite of the freezer. It is excellent. It has all controls front and center where they are easy to reach and very functional. Burners are well laid out for high btu units and well spaced for larger pots. We paired this cooktop with a Thermador hood which will be reviewed under the hood. We like the function and look of these two units paired together. However, the hood controls are extremely difficult to see as they aren’t backlit or otherwise easy to see. You almost have to get a light out to turn on the hood light.
