This is a great cooktop so far and looks awesome in my kitchen. I've only had it installed for a week, but it works well. The only reason why I gave it 4 stars is because it does seem to exude a bit more of a smell of gas when cooking than gas stoves I've used before. It might be because it takes a few more seconds for the middle burner to light. I'll have to try to use it without that burner to see, but it's my go-to burner for boiling water.
