Product review (3 stars): Electrolux cooktop is great, but has melted knobs
I've used this cooktop extensively for over a year, and love its cooking abilities in regards to flame control and heat output. No problem to quickly boil water in a 12 qt. stockpot. In contrast, the small burners turn waaay down for a perfect low-heat simmer. The unit seems well built, and the grates are heavy and strong. I do have 2 complaints, however:

1: The 2 large burners are placed on the front of the cooktop. If you are cooking with tall pots, you may have a hard time reaching over them to tend to the smaller pots and pans on the smaller rear burners. Maybe one of the front burners should be a smaller burner, and one of the high-heat, large burners should be moved to the rear.

2: The 2 large burners can throw a lot of heat. When using a large pot or pan (12"-14"), the heat from the burners actually melts the large plastic heat control knobs. Tho the knobs look like metal, they are actually a thin metal foil covering the knob's plastic base. Too much heat radiating from under the pan, and the foil crinkles and the knob distorts. It must be a known problem, as the nice customer service lady sent me out a free set of 5 new knobs, no explanation on my part necessary. So far, we've ruined 3 knobs, so now we're more careful about sliding the larger pots and pans off-center, slightly away from the knobs. Electrolux and Amazon like to tout this cooktop as Professional quality, but as far as the melting plastic knobs go, this cooktop comes up short.
