    Love Cooking Again

    I must have had the most annoying glass stove top on the planet. It would take forever to cook anything and I had no control since the glass retained heat like a volcanic rock. I had to use a motorized brush to get the grime off every single time I cooked. And it was a white glass top. All this took the fun out of cooking. Since getting this installed, cooking has been cleaner, faster and easier and fun again.It looks great and is a perfect fit. The burners consistently light easily and the stainless steel under the grate is super easy to clean. I m so glad for converting from electric to gas and really glad KitchenAid made installation seamless so that cooking is fun again.

    Awesome 30in Gas Cook Top with 5 burners

    If you are looking for a gas cook top but are limited in size to a 30 inch model, you can't go wrong with this one. You get 5 burners and have more than enough space to have several pots/frying pans going at once. I love this cook top. It looks great, works great, and is easy to maintain.

    Awesome cooktop, almost too much!

    This cooktop is awesome, the heat from the burners is so much greater than I've ever cooked with prior, I love it. Easy to install, but measure after removing your old one to ensure it fits nicely without too much modification. I did have to make minor modifications to the cooktop backside, it was either that or cut granite, either way I'm very happy with the outcome and the products. I purchased the oven to match.

    Love it!

    Nice fast and even cooking...favorite gas stove/cooktop yet. I’ve used large pots and pans on the front burners at the same time with no problems. Knobs don’t heat up if you don’t cover them with pots or pans. Only negative is that the lettering is faded. Not enough of an issue to return it though.

    Good gas cooktop

    Replaced a 4 burner with large burners in the back. The knobs are moved farther toward front of counter which increases cook space. Same dimensions feel larger. Center burner does what it says, fast boil and very low simmer. Brushed finish is a little hard to clean, but resists fingerprints. We like!

    Disappointing Kitchen Gas Cooktop Experience

    We recently moved into our new home, and to our dismay, the kitchen came pre-installed with a gas cooktop that left much to be desired. The grills on this appliance are unreasonably high, significantly extending our cooking times and resulting in an unnecessary waste of gas. One of the major drawbacks we've encountered is the apparent lack of research and development that went into the design of this gas cooktop. This flaw not only affects the quality of our cooking but also adds to our gas consumption, raising concerns about long-term efficiency and sustainability. The frustration caused by this subpar kitchen appliance cannot be overstated. It's disheartening to realize that, in this day and age, a gas cooktop would be released without the necessary attention to detail and user experience. The absence of thoughtful engineering has a direct impact on the functionality of the cooktop, and it reflects poorly on the overall quality of the product. Considering our experience with this gas cooktop, we cannot, in good conscience, recommend it to others. Potential buyers should be aware of the shortcomings we've encountered, particularly the impractical height of the grills. We strongly advise anyone in the market for a kitchen gas cooktop to explore other options that have undergone more rigorous testing and development. In conclusion, our unfortunate encounter with this pre-installed gas cooktop has left us dissatisfied and regretful. It serves as a stark reminder that careful consideration of kitchen appliances is essential during the home-building process, and we hope that others can learn from our experience and make more informed choices for their own homes.

    Quite happy overall

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall I am quite happy with the cooktop. It is nice looking, appears to be solidly built, and very functional. The downside is that the controls are hard to read.
