I've had this installed for about a week and cooked multiple things on it. It is the best smooth cooktop I have ever cooked on, and I've had many over the years. All burners heat up very fast (and cool down quickly for nice simmering), and the front two burners are dual zone and with beefed up wattage, so they boil water extremely quickly. The warming zone is a very nice feature as well. My absolute favorite part of this cooktop for me are the knobs, they are heavy duty, not plasticy AT ALL, they feel very commercial, and they come off easy for cleaning, too. Obviously, you have to be aware of spills with a glass cooktop, but as long as you have a razor blade scrapper for it (sold at most grocery stores by the cooktop cleaners), you'll be fine. I personally use liquid Comet as my cleaner of choice. The stainless steel trim is very nice looking, and along with the knobs, make the piece look very high end. I can't recommend this unit enough.
We were having new countertops installed and I learned THAT is the best time to upgrade a cooktop (so the hole cut is the correct size).
We cook nearly every meal at hone and I love this cooktop so far.
I enjoy (visually) the bold temperature dials. The warming burner is handy and this unit has 4 cooking burners - 2 lg, 2 sm. However, the large can be turned on for the small surface only, which is handy, depending on how many people are home.
I am very happy with this purchase.
This unit replaced a kenmore with only 1 "power" burner at 2500watts... having 2 3000 watt burners is awesome. I also like having the larger, more frequently used burners up front-especially since these will work as large or small burners.
The smaller rear burners are plenty powerful, unless you're trying to boil 2 gallons of water quickly-that's what the front burners are for....
I have only used the warmer a couple of times. It's a great feature to have and worth the money.
For installation, this is a 3 wire job. Black, red, and green. No white. This was my first time with this configuration, and you cap off the white from the power supply. Also check you dimensions carefully, the box containing the burners was about 1/2" wider than the unit it replaced. I had to have someone else come out and cut the granite counter top. Being the genius that I am, I had already removed the old cooktop and disconnected it. It was a weekend so it was Tuesday night before we could use the new cooktop.
So far the cooktop has worked flawlessly, just remember those front burners really crank out the power, I am constantly turning the power below 2.5-3...
Really like the look. It is very thin and the drawer under the stove still is usable. Hookup is very easy.
Installed myself several months ago. It was a pinch bigger then the current hole in my laminate counter top. Out came the jig saw and 20 min later it fit. you should know what you are doing to get the wires correct, I have done lots of wiring in my home. We find it heats the tea water up faster on the big burner with the outside edge on too. Our older glass top lasted 20 years, one of the burners died but the lines on the glass were fading and the knobs looking old. The replacement burner as pretty expensive, so this fit the spot. One thing, a number of the 30" counter tops have large extensions below the top. I had draws under mine and this was one of a few that was very thin to make it fit with the draws still working.

Description
30" Smooth top Electric Cooktop with 5 Heating Elements, 2 Expandable Elements, Keep Warm Zone and Express-Select Knob Controls.
Excellent electric stove top. The front two heat up a pot of water very quickly. Warmer is a nice addition to it and the knobs are well constructed. They pull off easily to clean as well. Feels like an industrial strength stove top because of the knobs but i really like it compared to the plastic ones. Cooked on it about 8 times now without any issues heating quickly or failure. Only time will tell about reliability and I will post an update if it ever fails me prematurely.
Installed and used daily for one month so far. Works great, looks great and easy to install. Replaced an 35 year old GE electric range.
Looks great! Meets temperature quickly and does a great job! I’m very pleased
Very nice and fashionable stove. Works great. Be careful with these types of stoves with electricity. Can be very sensitive to circuits breakers and outages.
We have been using the stove now for about five months, and it has been very reliable. It heats things up very quickly, much faster than our previous stove.
