I needed a new stove to replace my 10 year-old built-in stove top.  I cook a lot everyday and use three or sometimes four burners at the same time, so the flat and continuous grates make moving a heavy pan from one section to another easily,  Also I like the grate support bumpers which keep the grates form moving/sliding from sliding.  It has been only few days since I started this stove top, but I have no complaints so far and enjoying cooking.
