Product review (4 stars): Pretty smooth-top and almost stainless finish...
I've had the stove for a while now and it's been reliable with nary a breakdown.  The only problem is that the stainless steel is not the mirror-like stainless of fine Swedish cutlery but instead a rough and ready kind of industrial 'stainless steel' that you eventually might have 'issues with'.
Put simply, the stove is absolutely wonderful and simplicity itself.  For instance, to bake at, say, 350F, you just press the bake button and the temp which is set for, yes, 350F.  You can of course change it up or down by 25F increments.  The stovetop has a control for all burners which is about as simple, too.  Once again, the problem is stainless status and cleaning.  The heavy gritty pans lightly and slowly (but surely) deface the smoothtop so within years, you have to refinish it or use a specific cleaner(for smooth tops) and hope for the best.  To me, cooking is the thing and I don't fuss over a scratch or two, but for some, appearance is as important as function and they should avoid this series of stoves.
