We bought this to replace our prior cooktop as part of a kitchen re-do. Factors in our choice were the positive reviews, the color, and the easy-to-read knobs.  The cooktop was very easy to install, and fit like a glove into the existing space.  We are especially pleased to find it is more efficient than our previous cooktop:  it heats faster and provides very good control over the temperature for cooking and simmering.
