This cooktop works well, it is powerful and sturdy.  The knobs are much more intuitive than touch controls.  The one thing I would change is to get rid of the "bridge" controls.  First of all, the knob is confusing, not like the others.  Secondly, I have yet to find an induction compatible griddle that fits the zone and is smooth surface.  Perhaps for this price, Frigidaire should supply a suitable griddle.  However, just leave off the bridge controls, it is easy enough to turn two knobs if you want to adjust a big surface temperature.
