Product review (2 stars): I asked someone with the same stove what they liked about it
It's all true. The negative reviews. What a fabulous ad campaign featuring Kelly Ripa, however, the product is not so fab. The center burner does take several clicks before turning on. It JUST happened as I'm typing this.  Tonight, the 2 middle knobs melted from using the cast iron grill ( which came with the purchase) on the center burners. What happened ? Simply cooking with the grill where it says to be placed. Was it heat from the flame or heat coming from the cast iron?  Does it matter? It's a stove and stoves get hot. My cheaper stove had less defects than this one.
I asked someone with the same stove what they liked about it...no answer, they said they would've purchased one of their competitors.
