Rated 5 out of 5 by from [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love everything about this cooktop!! Probably the two best things are all the choices and variety of burner sizes and the dependability of the controls.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A chef’s dream [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently purchased a new home that was equipped with all new Kitchen Aid appliances. The cooktop is one of the best electric cooktops I have ever owned. The control of the temperature is excellent. I’m truly impressed with the quality of the cooktop. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a great cooktop.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Wonderful Addition to New Kitchen Remodel [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Remodeled our kitchen and bought all new Kitchen Aid Appliances. The Cooktop fits wonderfully with the new cabinets and design. Very pleased with how it cooks and the many setting options.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent purchase! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love it so fat! Comes to temperature very quickly and produces a nice even heat. I use very good pots and pans and have had no issue with scorching or burning as with my old outdated cooktop. Thank you so much KitchenAid!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great cooking space [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my first cooktop and I love it! Great amount of cooking space and like the burners offering 3 different sizes for pans.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent feature [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I brought this two months ago and we’re very happy we did , kitchenaid is our favourite brand in cooktop.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love the size and burner options. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the overall size, the burner options and how quickly it heats. I also found that I much prefer the knobs to the complete flat-top, all electronic model. I wish I could have gotten this model with a "bridge" for a griddle, but that is really the only "complaint" I have, which is not a major one. I still believe that all glass cooktops generally are difficult because of cleaning; however, that is true for ALL brands and configurations and there are no other options for those of us who do not have access to gas. I have purchased suggested cleaners, which helps, but I still wish there was a simpler way to keep them clean and beautiful.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great look and features! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The cooktop is awesome’ the size is perfect and the sleek look fits so well in our home. It’s awesome! We love it for its 5 burners.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Very happy, excellent design and functionality [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Needed a cooktop that could comfortably have two large 12-inch pans going at the same time, without bumping into another pan. This model was pretty much the only one I could find like that anywhere. I'm very happy with the intelligent design of the location of the elements. Other nice touches are the attractive etched grid design on the surface of the cooktop, the thickness of the glass, and the foam strips provided in the box for installation on an uneven counter surface. Also like the stainless-steel knobs though I wish they were removeable for cleaning. As for cleaning, I've read some negative reviews saying that it is hard to clean; I haven't found that it is any harder or easier than other electric cooktops I've used. Overall, completely satisfied.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Features [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this product. 1 ring has some residue that don’t seem to go away. Nothing got spilled or burnt. I am very careful with my stuff. I am a super clean lady. I am planning to have someone look into it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Clean and sleek [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Trying to get used to the cooktop. So far so good

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Heats up fast! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We purchased the cooktop recently for our new home. It has lots of options for different size pots and pans. I'm very impressed how quickly the elements heat up. Also, it works very well at maintaining a nice low-heat simmer. We're still experimenting with the ultra-power and even-melt options, and we're very pleased overall with the performance of the cooktop. I'll be very interested to experience the cleanability of the cooktop over a period of time as I experienced difficulties with a competing brand at our previous home.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A satisfied customer. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a replacement for a convection cooktop that died. I am very pleased with its appearance. Love the stainless steel knobs and the various sizes and performances of the heating elements. It heats up faster than I expected. It is a little harder to clean, though.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love this cooktop [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Took over a year for the appliance store I bought it from to get it, but it was so worth the wait.
