  • Rated 4 out of 5 stars

    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.

    Great cooktop

    Great cooktop and the price is not bad either for a 36". Easy installation. Easy to clean. One flaw is the position of the knobs on top. Other than that not bad.

    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.
