Needed to replace our old one as a chip in the glass led to a fracture which lead to the breaker tripping from a boil over. Read the reviews on several cooktops but decided to go with Frigidaire as our new appliances in our summer cottage are all Frigidaire. Glad we stuck with Frigidaire. I like the directions of the knobs and it seems to heat very evenly. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
