During a kitchen remodel we selected this LG model after researching all the different brands, models, and features. We hit a home run with this new LG. We love the touch control (no knobs) feature. It gives our new granite counter top a very rich and fashionable look. The glass top unit that was replaced had knobs but the new LG's touch control was very easy for us to adapt to. After a month of ownership, we are extremely pleased.
