This is our second one. The first one worked great. It was about 10 years old. It met its match when something was dropped on it breaking the glass. We had it that way for a long time.
There were some good improvements made. Self centering springs on the edges to position the cooktop in the cutout. I was able to remove the ones I had created at the corners to keep it centered. They were stapled in pieces of wood.
The biggest improvement is the addition of brackets that install at the right and left sides, centerline. You have to mount the bracket into the counter. It is important to get the sixteenth inch gap at the top of the bracket or the glass wont seat flush with the counter. My counter is 'corean' (sp?) and didn't have enough thickness to give me good distance to the edge. I used a dremmel and removed metal toward the rop edge to let the screw be where it needed to be.
Works great.
Truly excellent value! Stand alone stoves seem out of date and beyond ugly in a small kitchen, but these cook tops are sleek and extremely efficient; almost as responsive as gas.
My first one was white, and lasted well over 15 years, still looking like new even after having renters in the condo after I moved to a new location.
It's important to know that this black cook top does NOT come with a plug. Depending on your own power source for stove hookup, you will need to buy and/or have an electrician install the connection.
I needed a three prong male plug for connection to an available female three hole socket.
Also, if you plan to install over a kitchen cabinet, you'll need to know that the underside of the cooktop will be too tight, and it
will be necessary to cut away on three sides at the top of your cabinet. Will fit just fine in a 30" wide opening between counters, though you'll want/need to support the front and back somehow.
The knobs are excellent ~~ large, easy to read, and with definitive clicks for positions.
The burners light up immediately and regulate fast with each adjustment; also cool fairly quickly after use.
For the price, it would hard to beat this model of Frigidaire Cooktop ~~!!
The Black colour is stunning when trimmed with black marble.
This product is very easy to install and does a great job at cooking. My wife is very happy with this product as I am as well. I had to cut a little on the side of the counter for this thing to fit but it fit perfect after that. We are very impressed with this product and works well.
Worked as expected fit in place just had to cut a little bit into the counter with my dremal not a big deal. Best part was that i could hard wire it. My house is from the 60's so i usually have to update things as i fix the house up so i thought i was gonna need an electrician to put in a outlet not this time. I wired it up myself total install was like 30 min wife loves it
I went back and forth with this product because of the reviews. This was easy to install, comes with the wires, dropped down on the countertop exactly as my previous glass cooktop did with same dimensions, and works better than the last one. I highly recommend, and I never write reviews, really never.

Description
Frigidaire FFEC3024LB 30" Electric Cooktop, Black
I like the knob settings, from simmering which is useful, to high. I do feel nervous using it as I am afraid it will crack easily.
I haven’t decided yet on a cleaner which I have to be careful choosing and not using anything abrasive. I did use the one I was given that might protect it and remove tough stains but need something lighter.
So far I have enjoyed cooking on it.
This item works extremely well Much better than my last flat electric cooktop of the same manufacturer. However, it is very difficult to keep clean. It smears very easily. So far, I have found that Windex works best if there is no stubborn spot. If so, then Soft Scrub or Ceramabrite work well. A bit of a chore; but, worth it.
This arrived within the timeframe expected. It was wrapped & packed well.
Overall I like it. Much nicer than the old electric stovetop we had.
Only negative is that it is difficult to keep clean. The black surface shows every bit of residue. After I wipe it clean, it still shows bad spots.
Heats up very quickly. The only knock on this cook top is that it is shiny black, so it shows every dust speck and finger print. Hard to keep looking clean.
This cook top is great. Easy to clean, in fact, the cook top comes with a cleaner that works great. Very minimal scrubbing if any and I can be a messy cook. This cook top is just what we needed for our kitchen. Would buy again.
