    Looks great and works great so far

    So far so good. We have had it about a month. It is easy to clean and I love how you can lift up the grills for cleaning.

    Grates are heavy. Cooktop is solidly made. Knobs a

    As with all new cooktops, the grates are clumsy, heavy, and irritating. Hard to clean. Every manufacturer makes them the same way. Only two burners have any decent heat; the rest are too small. This is the same cheap trick done by all other manufacturers. Cooktops from the 1960s were better. But no one makes them any more. This one is solidly made; good knobs; solid metal; nice looking. but the design is crap. But that’s all you can buy now

    Whirlpool stovetop

    Wonderful! I really love cooking on this stovetop! I also like the grill that came with it. The grates on the stovetop lift up to make it easier to clean. I really like that feature. This is the second stovetop we received however. The first one had a dent in it but Best Buy was very good to work with and very helpful.

    Very good cook top

    We had a 4 burner cook top for 30 years. Since we are remodeling out kitchen we decided to try a 5 burner cook top from whirlpool. It is very easy to cook and clean up when i make a mess. I like it being a gas, it gets hot instantly.
