Product review (2 stars): Poor performance with a high pricetag
This is one of several Miele appliances I have. I have to say that I am quite disappointed in this one. I needed a large burner, so I bought this as a direct replacement for a different Miele 24" cooktop that had four smaller burners. I was shocked to find that, despite being apparently higher wattage than my original one, this unit took FOREVER to bring pans to temperature and to boil water. In addition, the touch pad controls are convoluted and slow (press and hold ON for 1.5 seconds, press and hold the burner indicator for 1.5 seconds, press and hold the temperature for 1.5 seconds, press and hold the burner size button for 1.5 seconds). What that might not sound like a lot, it quickly becomes frustrating when it takes 6 seconds to power on a burner when I used to spend less than one second spinning a knob.

Anyway, unless this is absolutely your only choice, I'd avoid this product, especially for what it costs.
