We’ve been using this cooktop for 4.5 years now. It’s been a joy to boil water in less than 2 minutes and control the burners by touch. 

It’s a good thing the touch controls have a lock, because otherwise our cat turns them on with her paws. (She can unlock them too if she stands on the unlock button long enough.) We have to make a habit of leaving nothing on the cooktop when we’re not in the kitchen.

On our first unit, four out of five burners had a total failure after 4 years of regular use. The parts were back ordered so they offered us a completely new unit for the cost of the parts. We’re pleased with the offer, but we’re hoping that this unit doesn’t fail again! 

The reason we bought this expensive Cafe line is to use the wireless thermostat tool. However, that tool has been sold out for a while and we’ve never gotten to use the wireless control functions. Had we known that would be an issue, we would have purchased a less expensive induction cooktop.
