We’ve only had this for a month, but are enjoying cooking on it!  I haven’t had a gas stove for 30 years and am remembering why I liked it so much!  There IS a learning curve going from electric where you use the burner that most closely matches your pot diameter. This model is larger (36”) than the freestanding (30”) and the extra 6” makes a huge difference!  Easier to clean than a glass top!  Plenty of power without going to the highest flame height. Now, if it lasts more than eight years (as the ranges seem to) I will be thrilled!
