Replaced a 15 year old 36" black Cooktop with this Stainless Viking Cooktop to match the rest of our kitchen. Didn't think I'd be this excited but it seems larger and better utilizes the 36" area, not to mention it fires up quickly and looks great! Pots slide across the top seamlessly when you want to move them. On installation, just a small sliver of the sides of our counter opening had to be shaved off to fit. There is a bolt on each underside that hindered an easy drop-in, but not a big deal. Extremely pleased with our new Viking cooktop!

Beautiful looking. Cooks evenly. BTU's are great, very hot. Cast iron grates: one came chipped. And they can rust. There is some care required for the grates.

Ideal for my family. Heats much faster than the previous cooktop. Highly recommend it. Service provided by Best Buy and contractors was outstanding and professional.
