We have been using this cook top for about 6 weeks and it is so much better than our previous stove/oven combination. This unit boils water fast, has a great range of settings to keep food warm or simmering, and is large enough to accommodate enough pans/pots took cook a full meal all at once. The surface is easy to keep clean and the totally flat surface makes the kitchen look sleek and modern. We teamed the cook top with the LG 30" convection oven for a very modern look and great cookability.
