When I first chose my cooktop, I had another product in mind but my very knowledgeable salesman steered me to the 800 Series and I'm so glad he did.  My last cooktop was the same size but the pots were always on top of each other.  This layout is perfect.  I can use five pots at once without a problem. The fact that a light goes on when the burners are lit is an invaluable safety addition.  Wonderful product.  Easy to keep clean,  beautifully engineered - probably by someone who actually cooks!
