Whirlpool - 30 in. Wide 4 element Built-In Electric Cooktop - Black

I love the new white cooktop that was purchased from Best Buy. This gives our kitchen a beautiful updated look. I love how quickly the unit heat and the food doesn’t burn.

Love the smooth looks of this cooktop in our kitchen. It takes a little getting use to after cooking on gas but once you get it down, it's a fairly good product.

The stovetop was too large for the opening so we had to cut a larger opening. The stovetop looks nice and works well.

I've used both electric coil and electric smooth top cooktops each for over 10 years. The biggest advantage of the smooth tops: they are easy to clean and they often have better safety features. The electric coils are better for just about everything else. They heat up faster. With this it took me just over 4 minutes to boil a pot of water; with two different smooth tops each with higher wattage ratings it took me over 6 minutes to boil a pot of water. We found it so much easier to cook when we replaced a smooth top with this. They are easier to maintain. If a burner fails I can replace it within minutes with a part costing less than $40; if a burner on a smooth top fails I need to remove the whole unit, open it up, replace the burner costing $40 to $100, then replace the foam tape which costs at least $40. I am replacing smooth top that cracked because a bottle of oil fell over and cracked the top. The cost to replace just the broken glass would have been more expensive than this simple cooktop. I'm rating this 4 stars not 5 because one of the burners flared out the first time I turned it on high. I'm replacing it with the same model. Oh, yeah, the smooth tops look pretty. If you want to have a fancy looking kitchen to impress your guests you can't use electric coils.

I love, love, love this cooktop!! Someone warned me about getting a white one, but we have one in our home and one in a vacation home and they are both wonderful. I am NOT a gourmet cook so I didn’t need or want gas in my kitchen. 99% of the time my cooktop is just part of our quartz counter, but when I need it, it works perfectly. It heats quickly and even though spills show on a white cooktop, they come right off. My first Whirlpool cooktop is nearly 8 years old and looks brand new because I keep it clean. The secret is to let the burner cool down, apply liquid BarKeepers Friend on the spill, let that sit for about 15 minutes, and then wipe it off. Works like a charm every time, and I love the clean white look! I highly recommend this cooktop!!
