Product review (5 stars): Yeah, I Hesitated Too......
This cooktop is awesome! We christened it last night by cooking corn and rice. It heats up very quickly and, ok, did I mention the cool factor? With no knobs to see or feel, just pressing LED touch sensitive controls, gives me the feeling that Im Geordi LaForge cooking dinner for Capt. Picard aboard the Starship Enterprise!
But seriously, it is a very attractive appliance with the stainless edge accents and is easy to clean with no knobs to maneuver around. Just season the top with Cerama-Bryte (included) before first use and thereafter. I do agree with other reviewers that the control icons can be difficult to see, depending on lighting source, which is why I intend to install an overhead LED lamp for more consistent visibility of the controls. And, I did have to have an electrician install a junction box because the prior cooktop had a 3-Prong 240v. hook-up and this unit comes with bare wires, no receptacle.
But, I feel that those cons should not dissuade you if you are considering purchasing this cook top! Ours is replacing a 20 plus-year old Jenn-Air cook top, in which one burner would not shut off! Yeah, it was time....
