Rated 5 out of 5 by from I like the set-up of the burners [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very nice working great for my family cooking. some features have not been used but in time we will.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best cooktop [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the number of cooking spots and the option for large or smaller pans at the same spot. Versatile, attractive, user friendly and best experience with a cooktop.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Beautiful cooktop! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wanted to go gas, but my new home was not set up for it and induction would have forced me to replace more than half of my high end pots and pans! I got the the best electric cooktop I could find that had the Schott Ceran surface as I was really worried about scratching. I wish more manufacturers would make it known that they use this surface, seems no one promotes it! I also wanted real knobs, as I read many reviews complaining about food or water dripped on their touch control stoves causing issues. I have been using this for a month now. It has a very low setting similar to induction for melting butter and chocolate. It has a rapid boil high that, while not as fast as induction, will give a gas stove a run for its money. The controls take a little getting used to on the 2 larger burners as they operate differently from one another. Not a big deal to me after getting familiar with it. I read a lot of reviews that say this scratches easily and is hard to keep clean. Most of them must have never gotten the recommended Affresh cleaning kit, which is a must!(Kitchenaid should really include one with new units) Using this restores the top to a like new shine. Otherwise, just cleaning with soap and water and a soft cloth with work fine but will leave streaks on it's shiny surface. Very happy overall!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great design [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My original cooktop from 15 years ago had an element that quit working and couldn't be repaired. Features and styles changed over the years and I was disappointed in my search for a new one. I came across a KitchenAid and was thrilled with the style and improved features from my previous cooktop. It has 5 burners and the front two are dual element which makes using small pans or large pots convenient. I really like this cooktop.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Heats up real fast. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very happy with the product. The five burners are great. Looking forward to the purchase of a new double wal oven to match.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Product [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's our second Kitchen Aid electric Cooktop. We were very satisfied with our first one so we kept the same footprint in our upgraded kitchen. Kitchen Aid did a very nice sale.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Second Kitchenaid [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My first Kitchen Aid cooktop failed because the control system malfunctioned. I bought a cheaper replacement and it was only good for burning everything. Took the leap and purchase a second KitchenAid. Wish it had numbers on the dials and the controls are not consistently orientated. One goes left and the next goes right??? But it controls and cook fine.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Consistent [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] While it has taken me a little bit of time to get to know, this stove top, and all the features, I have found it works the same every single time. High, medium, low on an aisle is the same every time you use that I, unlike my previous stove top. I love the size of it, and I love all the features.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent Cook Top [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was skeptical to get a glass cooktop because many of the reviews (even the good ones) talked about was how difficult the glass is/was to clean. I use mine 4-5 days per week, wipe up after the top cools down, and give it a good cleaning with the recommended cleaning kit every week and have no problems, even after pasta water, potato water, and other various sauces have spilled in to the cook surface.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent cooktop [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very pleased with the performance. It is easy to control the temperature. In fact, it’s almost as versatile as a gas range would be!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Large cooking surface [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought to replace glass cooktop. This one has larger cooking surface and extra burner. Control knobs are better quality. They sit on the surface so material is not able to get under them. It accents well with my recently installed Kitchen Aid wall oven unit.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Upgrade [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this unit to replace one that was over 12 years old and cracked. 4 burner to a 5 burner. Better arrangement, size usage . No cramming pots on the stove, better heating capabilities, upgraded look and better components. Loving this unit completely.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love, Love, Love it! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This new KitchenAid cooktop replaces another brand that cracked. Everything I have from KitchenAid has been wonderful and long lasting. The five burners are a dream. Many cooktops do not allow you to can on them, but this one does - of course, it’s a KitchenAid!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent Cooktop [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Appliances have been hard to find this past year. I bought this as a floor model thinking that it might not be exactly what I wanted, but it has performed beautifully and is so easy to keep clean due to the textured surface surrounding the cooking "eyes". I have found multiple uses for the low heat area to melt butter and chocolate. Outstanding!
Date published: 2022-07-26
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Looks Great - Works Fantastic [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We upgraded from an old coil type cook top to this sleek looking glass cooktop. We are very happy with the new look and the performance of our new cooktop.
Date published: 2022-07-22
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Looks great in my newly remodeled kitchen! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just had this cooktop installed an few months ago after we remodeled our kitchen. It looks beautiful and heats up quickly. We love it! My only complaint would be that we spent a lot of money for our new KitchenAid appliances and the cooktop didn’t come with a cleaning kit…you have to purchase it separately.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Cooktop [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So far I really like my cooktop, I was skeptical at first, it replaced an over 50 year old electric cooktop, but I like the way this one heats so evenly and the eye cools quickly. So far no problem with cleaning.
