Product review (4 stars): No Problems after 8 months of use
I have had this cook top for about 8 months now and really love it! The five burners are so convenient; this holiday season was a breeze. I like to use cast iron cookward and it is nice to be able to slide pots from one burner to another instead of picking them up. I find the unit easy to clean, I am very picky about the appearance but the stainless cleans up for the most part. The only problem area is right around the burners I use the most, they have speckled mini cook particles on them which I am not too crazy about but it is a kitchen I cook in, and I have to get over it. I have a couple of scratches, nothing to fret over though, that is life. I clean with a damp cloth and finish up with glass cleaner.

I have not had any problems or needed service.  I was looking forward to using the power burner in the middle to get my water boiling quicker, not really an improvement from my old Kitchenaide.(That one a bad design, will never buy their products again) Looking back at the other review I just now got up and turned on middle burner, lit after about 4 clicks. I did get the griddle, I still have not gotten used to it, my pancakes always start out too dark. Not used to having so much BTU, last griddle was electric in the middle of my cooktop.

Also have the double Electrolux oven, I had a smile on my face the entire holiday cooking season. Entire batches of cookies baked perfectly in one oven. What an improvement from my old single Maytag.

So look over before you make this purchase, it was quite a bit of $$$ for us to spend but have not regretted it. As you walk down the appliance aisle decide which one looks like it is built better, suprise, they are almost the same in each price category. So good luck, so far I have not been dissapointed.
