This was purchased about a year ago when I was remodeling the kitchen. The first shipment had a crack in the corner but I was able to get a replacement. So far, the cooktop works great! I use it maybe 3 to 5 times a week and it still looks brand new save for some minor burn marks I can't get out.
PROS: It is super easy to clean; I either wipe it down with a wet rag and dish soap or when it's really dirty I break out the Weiman cooktop cleaner, a cleaning pad and some elbow grease. I've only had to do a serious cleaning less than 10 times since I've bought it. The touch buttons also make cleaning easy. The heat holds up nicely once it's going and I've gotten the hang of turning it down sooner or taking the pot completely off the burner when the heat needs to be lowered. No biggy. Most of my pots are the Calphalon steel and I have some non stick pots also. Aesthetically, it looks great against my granite counter and under my Whirlpool glass rangehood. I also appreciate the auto shut off and child lock features. I use the child lock all the time.
CONS: The touch controls are intuitive but only once you use it several times. I've had to explain it to others a few times. The childlock may be what throws people off since i always have it on. It can also seem like the childlock indicator means the stove is hot. You have to be really careful with spills. Once I tried to clean a spill with a rag while the burner was on. Dumb idea! Some of the rag melted of course and i can't get all of it off till this day. The burner does take a while to heat but there's only been a couple times when this was frustrating to me. It could take a 2 to 3 mins to get to a rolling boil on a small pot of water. Again I've adapted by turning it on a little while before i have to use it. Same with turning the heat down. I just anticipate it takes a little longer and turn the heat down a few mins early.
All in all a great addition to my kitchen! Love the look, love the function and features and would definitely buy it again.
