Well Done Maytag
Well-built cooktop with metal knobs and stainless trim front and back. The included griddle is dual-sided and is also of good quality. Heat-up time is quick with an indicator that stays on as long as the surface is hot as well as the usual "On" indicator. I replaced a 1998 30-inch Maytag bought at Circuity City due to 2 burners being burned out and upgraded to this larger model. It was an excellent upgrade that I am satisfied with.
