    Love my new stove top. Very sleek looking and I love how it’s bigger than the other brands and easy to clean as well.

    I like it...

    I've only used it a couple of times but so far I like it. It seems like it holds heat well. I haven't used the warmer burner yet so I can't comment on that part. I like that a red light stays on until the unit has cooled off. You should still be careful though because the burners are still quite warm even after the light goes off. It looks nice in my kitchen. I "might" take photos to add later (I'm lazy), lol.

    LOVE, LOVE, LOVE IT!

    LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this cooktop. The large cooking area lets me use all of my big pots when needed. The warming burner was especially useful keeping my famous sausage gravy warm while I finished up the bacon on one burner and eggs on another and grits on still another. Easy clean-up (using a little soft-scrub) and the think always looks brand new.

    Excellent Cooktop

    This Whirlpool cooktop is great. I like the layout of the burners which heat up quickly. Although they may seem a little tall at first, the control knobs are smooth and fit the hands well. The red ‘Cooktop On’ and ‘Hot Surface’ warning lights are big and very noticeable, which is a great safety measure. The ceramic glass surface cleans easily, especially with ‘affresh’ cooktop cleaner. This cooktop fit perfectly into my counter cutout which is 20 1/2” x 34 7/8”. Would definitely recommend.
