Product review (5 stars): great compact, modern, cooktop (pictures)
Great compact cooktop that has a modern and stylish look. This is a 2 burner cooktop in black. The surface has a glass surface but it comes with specific cleaning instruction and a cleaning product so that you don't damage/scratch the surface. Esthetically this thing is very attractive. the top is flat and shiny. The knobs are not obtrusive and it just looks like it belongs alongside all your other modern appliances. Each knob has a white line that directs to which burner you are turning on and this also adds to the modern look/design. There are three lights in between the knobs. 2 of the lights indicate when each burner is "on" the third light indicates when the surface is still hot. This is a great feature that warns you that although the burners are "off" the surface of the cooktop is still hot and you should still be careful. Great feature. The way that this cooktop works is that it has the same electric rings but just underneath the modern glass top. It heats up quickly and I can  boil water in just a few minutes. See pictures.

I was hesitant when ordering this product because I was concerned that there wouldn't be enough room between the burners to place 2 pots/pans/etc. but as you can see in the pictures there is ample room for two pieces of cookware. In the picture I have a medium sized pan and a small pot so 2 pieces of cookwear should fit well. Keep in mind that this is a 2 burner cooktop and as you can see in the pictures that we could have easily fit a 4 burner but we didn't have the use for it and wanted a more clean compact look. This cooktop fit the bill.

We had this cooktop professionally installed so I cannot comment on the installation but I CAN tell you that you can install it left to right or top to bottom depending on your countertop space. We installed it left to right (as seen in pictures). Also the cooktop will take up a few inches from under your countertop so you may not be able to put a drawer underneath it. This is something that all cooktops share in common.

When we re-did our kitchen I bought most of the items from amazon so I'm going to try to write reviews with pictures on these items. you can look for those to see if the items are something that can work for you. All in all this unit has been working exceptionally well and provides the look, function, and necessity that we were looking for.
