We love cooking with gas. This downdraft exhaust cook top is sleek and modern. We replaced our GE Elite glass top stove as a direct drop-in; great fit without cutting or filling. The controls are smooth and access is convenient. Burner temperature is easily  adjustable from a slow simmer to a super seer for steaks and toss for stir fry. All in all very happy. As with any stove, cleaning is relatively easy if you keep after it.
