Product review (2 stars): Good  but ruined by horrible controls
I hate this thing!

Ive had it for 7 years.  Yes, it has some good points - here they are:

1- Looks great
2- Cleans up easily
3- Outstanding heating - fast and very controllable, even down to a simmer.

So?  Whats not to like?

The controls.  Horrible!

In an effort to be stylish (remember Dirty Harry?), they're all flush sensor type.  And, they go on and off constantly.  A pot, a dish, your hand, a utensil.  First I thought it was metal pots - put them down or move them over the surface, and the burners start doing their thing - turning on, or turning off.  Then, I found that ceramic dishes would do it.  Utensils - even wood and plastic utensils.  Your hand.  Water.

Heres what happens - your pot isn't cooking any more because it was unintentionally turned off.  Or, even worse, now something is heating and its something you don't want to be heated.  Its beyond maddening.  Tonight, trying to cook supper, three times I found my spaghetti sauce not heating - because I had inadvertently turned it off.  So - after dinner, I did what Ive said I was going to do a hundred times - I sat down and wrote it up.

It looks great because its so smooth and flush.  What it needs are old fashioned knobs, instead of these cursed sensors.  But, then it wouldnt look so stylish.  All the good features are undone by this poor design feature.  Great if you don't cook.  Horrible if you do.

I don't buy cooktops every other year, so Ill just live with it.  But - it is stylish.
