Product review (5 stars): Loved It So Much I Bought It Twice !?!
I've had this same cooktop for over six years, and love the ability to boil a pot of water in 90 seconds, but also use other than magnetic pots and pans on the non-induction burners. The reason for purchasing this cooktop a second time is that it replaces an identical one, originally purchased from Sears six years ago, but which needed out of warranty service of close to $1,000 ($700 for two circuit boards. plus $127 hour rate - one hour already spent just for the diagnosis!). Since the original $1500+ purchase, Electrolux had discontinued this model. But my granite counter top and cabinet under it were cut to the specific dimensions of this cooktop. Lucky me, that I was able to find this brand new cooktop, no longer sold elsewhere, for half its original price! And for ~$65 more, I now have three more years of warrantied service on this brand new cooktop. I couldn't be happier!! (Except, or course, if the original had actually lasted more than six years - one year more than the $200 five year extended warranty) BTW, I sealed the rim with high-heat black caulk when I originally purchased it, and doing so on this new one too. I think that might be why it lasted as long as it did. Nothing quite as bad as leaking water on circuit boards.
