I am still learning all the features, so far I have been very please with it. It so nice to have choices for you burners. We haven’t had it very long. I’m looking forward to cooking many meals. I would recommend it to friends and family. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Good Cooktop
Submitted 11-10-20
Installed a month ago. I like this cooktop! Several things about it appeal to me, but number one is the simple pan design that makes cleanup easy. I purchased the highest end model to match a built in fridge and wall over. This product looks great in the kitchen. The light up knobs are a real plus, as is the great gas flow and multiple burner choices. Negatives are few and minor. The included skillet designed to sit on the burners is way too narrow... doubled or tripled in size, it might be functional. The only quibble I have design wise with this cooktop are the markings designating which knob controls which burner. They should be more prominent... as is they are small and hard to see for kids and older eyes. Otherwise, great product. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

5-Burner Gas Cooktop with Griddle
Submitted 11-10-20
Do't buy the cooktop for the griddle. We tried it once, but it is so small, not worth the effort, but otherwise, the cooktop is great. It produces nice strong burner BTUs and also low levels good for melting and simmering. We do have, as others have noted, a bit on tight space with all 5 burners having pots and the pots crowd..but we do not do that too often. The lit rings about the knobs that light up are loose, and may need to contact the vendor to see how we can glue it back so it does not move around. the ring light is aesthetics but for as much as we paid, the ring should not be loose. I would also consider knobs in the front or side vs. in the front. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Got this a few weeks ago. It looks way more expensive than it is. Summer works great with those fussy sauces. High heat really gets things started [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
