I purchased this cooktop after looking at several product reviews which gave it a very good rating.  I have used it for a few weeks.  It is pretty and has the heat level [BTUs] that I wanted.  I am most disappointed in the design of the grate height.  It is too tall and so there is a large heat loss as the pot sits too high.  While cooking, you feel the heat around the pot instead of under it and it also feels like it is going to burn my hand while I am stirring the food.  I wish that I had known about this flaw in the otherwise very nice cooktop.  I had replaced my nice cooktop with lower BTUs with this one, but I am not getting a much faster cooking results because of the heat loss.
