I love this for cooking but after just 7 months, the indicator for which burner is for which knob has come off around all knobs. The inside of the stainless cooktop area has rust showing in places. I read not to use abrasive, only mild dishsoap and water. I have only used a soft cloth and dishsoap in warm water to clean, I clean it daily when we are done cooking. The grates are wonderful and look like they will last a lifetime but the rest is pretty much junk. It’s sad because it was very expensive. I called and they will have me call a local rep to come out and check it. They might replace it but I don’t know if I want this junk again.

Had this high-end cook-top installed a month ago and from day 1 two burners had ignitor problems. We are still trying to get it repaired! The repair guys that Geek Squad sent took so long to look at our appliance we missed our return window. Waiting for a new part an hopefully this fixes it. On the flip side, if you get a properly working appliance, it is really nice, nice heavy burner grates, easy to wipe out the surface, looks great with our kitchen update. I like the knobs on top and the light to show a burner is on. I'd still recommend based on the features, hopefully mine was just a lemon.
