Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

Great buy, worth your money. Easy yo I tats lo, not heavy or bulky.

Gladly replaced a smooth top with this one. It does what it needs to do with no fuss and is easy to use and clean. A breeze to install too.

Easy to install, works well. If your not ready for a more modern glass cooktop this is a good choice.

We needed an inexpensive electric cooktop to install in my mother-in-law's house that we will be renting. This Whirlpool was perfect, attractive and it works good. My brother-in-law installed it, which was very easy to do. Best Buy had the cheapest price in the area.

What are those things in the middle of each eye in my new stove top? I know they really cause problems. I bought new cookware to use and the fry pans will not sit flat on the eyes. I purchased Calphalon so it’s not because I purchased cheap pans the have no weight. I see no purpose for these things and the owners manual doesn’t even mention them. The stovetop cooks well if you can stabilize the pans on the coils. All of the coils heat on my unit unlike some of the other reviews I read. I wish I hadn’t had to replace my other unit but the eyes that I used most kept burning out.

Works very well for the price I can't complain. Easy to clean. Heats up fast and even. Was easy to install

Great budget stove. Easy setup and cleanup. Sometimes easy to forget it's on due to dim indicator light.

This is a very good cooktop. Easy to read functions and clean up is good.

This looks so nice compared with our old one, it cleans very easy and works great,

I love everything about this stovetop EXCEPT the surface around the burner gets very HOT. We followed the manufacturer's troubleshooting to make sure we didn't use pans that extend past the burner more than 1/2". And the surface surrounding the burner is still dangerously hot. Other than that -- I really do love it.

So far I am happy with this cooktop. It was easy to install and looks really nice. It does seem to take a little longer to boil. It seems to shut off and then back on before it gets to boiling. It's the same with frying, it seems hard to get it hot enough to fry, but thankfully I hardly ever fry anything.

So far so good. It looks good, works fine, and I recommend it. The unit was priced right (my opinion) total amount was $361.00 plus tax. I picked it up at the Best Buy in Everett, MA. An employee brought it out to my car. (So that you know it wasn't that heavy it was manageable)

If you remove the mounting brackets that are not needed the stove will fit a 28 inch drop in.

I like how fast it heats up and how efficient it is

I can’t get the one burner switch part for my Kenmmore cooktop which I had it for 30+ years. This is the only product Can replace it. It looks good except it heat so slowly, I have turn to high heat first to get cooking temperature then turn to mid heat,

So far so good. The only complaint was it did not exactly fit the cut out though it was supposed to be the same size of the last drop in and the top does not raise for cleaning.

Everything was excellent. The price was well below other stores. Very easy to order on line and great communication setting up the delivery. Received it on schedule. The cook top is great. Went back to the electric cook top from a ceramic. Too much to clean and care for. This cooktop fits us perfectly. Happy wife happy life.

I just don't like that I can't use oversized pots or pans. stops heating while trying to cook

I am very impressed with my Whirlpool coktop. It works perfectly and it is super simple to use.
