Great Stovetop. Absolutely the best for the price. One thing to look at if you're changing it over to propane (like we did) is the instructions don't tell you the propane jets come in different sizes, so after switching the included jets and firing her up, we knew something was really wrong, as the large burner almost singed our eyebrows when it lit up and the rear burners were way too tiny. After quite a bit of research on the Web, I read that stoves with different sized burners, have different sized jets (holes) on different sized burners to get the correct sized flame. In checking my LP conversion and placement of jets, I saw that the big burner had a mix of nozzles which explained the huge flame.
The correct placement is: 5 each - 056 jets (smallest jet) go in the left front high output burner (has 5 jets:-), the 2 each 080 jets go in the matched rear burners and the single 070 jet goes in the right front small burner. After getting the jets in their correct locations, the burner flames were perfect and just needed a little adjustment to get the low simmer flame just the right size. They supply a tool and give good instructions on how to do this. They just left out mention of the different size jets.
Make sure you use the included regulator even if your system is already regulated at the tank. In addition, you have to do a simple modification on the regulator when switching from natural gas to propane. For those looking for a propane stovetop, this one was a peice of cake to change over and install.
We paid $230 for this stovetop on Amazon, much less expensive than anywhere else and easily comparable to $1000-1,500 stovetops we've seen elsewhere. Buy it, my wife absolutely loves it.
Happy wife, happy life :-)
What truly makes this cooktop standout amongst the competition is the price and quality: see the photo I posted of the largest burner- there is a distinct design advantage here because it causes the cookware to be set high up above the flame. We actually were replacing an old Windmax brand gas cooktop with this model because the highest burner ring melted from the heat that was produced by the poor design. The wind max was only two years old! I have high hopes for this model after reading all of the reviews and seeing the final product installed! Every component is heavy duty and looks amazing installed. You can also see the flame quality that was produced just after installation in my photos (we converted to LP, which was a breeze like everyone had stated). Also in the photos you can see the fitting that you need to install the regulator under the cooktop to your gas line (5/8 in flare to 1/2 in MIP brass). Hope this helps!
Excellent quality for outdoor kitchen. To use for LP just change with the provided LP orifices in kit (see table for size location) .056 in front left burner, .080 in back to burners, and ,070 in front right burner, you also need to convert the regulator valve (easy instructions included). All parts for LP conversion included. I just had to by a 3/8" flare to 1/2" MIP brass adapter to convert to hose kit.
Grates are heavy duty, knobs have quality feel. Includes spare igniters. Uses 115V for ignition of gas. I would buy again, and even thinking about replacing my stove in my RV with this model.
I live in a small home and this was the perfect solution to my space needs.
I converted this to use L.P., due to my areas gas company being a major pain to deal with ( even though I don't even have an account with them)
and I'm tired of using electric ranges.
Set up and install are pretty straightforward and easy. READ THE INSTRUCTIONS concerning propane set up. It's easy, just take your time when replacing the gas to propane nipples.
I bought a two stage regulator for use with my propane tank.
Zero issues on initial startup. Just beautiful blue flames.
I super, mega, really, really, bow chicka wow wow love this!!!!
We bought this to replace the cooktop in our RV and it's perfect. High quality, heavy cast iron grates, beautifully designed and comes with everything you need to convert it from natural gas to propane, even a complete extra set of igniters. Our RV kitchen looks beautiful and I have one happy chef onboard.

Description
The Magic Chef 24 in. wide gas cooktop offers sleek, modern lines and many of the features found in larger appliances. This gives the consumer maximum functionality in minimal spaces. 24 in. gas cooktop features cast iron grates, metal knobs, electronic ignition, 4 sealed burners and a triple-ring burner for large pots and pans.
the package arrived with two sets of injectors (lpg + Ng) and spare if iterations and thermocouples, but some of the burners are very irregular (i.e. I Hector's are not accurately calibrated). Still the stove seems to work well overall.

This is a great cooktop, especially for our limited space. My only issue with it is that the largest and smallest burners are in the front, and the medium burners are both in the back. The mediums are the ones we use most often, so I wish one were in the front.

Shipping on time and good handling. The Cooktop Comes with 90 degree preinstalled inlet adapter that provides great flexible for installing. It also comes with other replacement spare parts. The ignition will take you some patient I like the price and quality. I will recommended.
