We bought this when doing our full-gut kitchen remodel. I wanted a gas cooktop--I had been using electric cooktops for the 32 years we lived in our house. It is great! It is easy to light burners; it is easy to control the heat; and our overhead fan unit takes out any odors or gas aromas. 
Unfortunately, it is not as easy to clean as my old cooktop was. There are curves and edges that require a little more effort. The stainless steel under the grates needs to be buffed to really shine, but this is just an inconvenience that I wasn't thinking of when I chose the appliance.
