I replaced an aging Jenn-Air cook top that had only 2 burners. For my cooking I really need 4 burners, 2 large and 2 small with a large burner at front to make sauteing, browning, etc. easier (so I don't have to reach back so far with utensils). This cook top is perfect. I don't have natural gas, so electric was the way to go. I have lots of Calphalon cookware so induction was out. I did not want exposed burners because they are hard to clean. The only thing that gets some "getting-used-to" is that pans tend to slide around when sauteing, browning, etc. so you have to hold the pan handle with the other hand.
