10'' Even-Heat Ultra Element with Simmer Setting

Provides more versatility for high and low temperature cooking techniques. Even-Heat Technology maintains a constant supply of power and delivers a range of simmer settings.

6'' Even-Heat Element with Melt Setting

Combines the benefits of Even-Heat Technology with a dedicated setting that reaches the low temperatures needed to melt chocolate or butter without scorching.

3-Speed Fan Control

Can be precisely matched to cooking needs, effectively removing steam, grease, and odors from the air.

12''/9'' Double-Ring Element

Lets you use different cookware sizes at one location. When using large, 12-inch cookware the entire element surface is used. For smaller cookware, you'll use only the 9-inch inner element.

Convertible to Duct-Free Ventilation

Allows a downdraft cooktop to be placed nearly anywhere in the kitchen using a duct-free conversion kit (not included). This filters and recirculates the air without running ductwork, ideal for kitchens with installation restrictions or ducting limitations.

Hot-Surface Indicator

Provides a clear indication that lets you know if any cooking surface is on or still hot.

Pure Color Ceramic-Glass Surface

Comes in saturated colors with stainless steel control knobs for a sophisticated, easy-to-clean appearance.

Professional delivery and installation is available for every product we sell. We would be happy to coordinate delivery and installation for you.

Extended warranties are usually very inexpensive and can save you thousands in the future. Some can even cover extra costs that result, such as cost of food that spoils when your fridge dies. It's simple and inexpensive to purchase extended warranties and one of the smartest ways to protect your investment.

Appliances can be large, heavy and expensive. You probably don't have the special tools or expertise needed to fix them in a crisis. If you can spare a few thousand dollars without batting an eyelash for new appliances should they break tomorrow, don't buy a warranty. But if you're like most of us, protect yourself by purchasing inexpensive extended warranties when you buy a new product and save yourself big money in the long run.

Nothing but problems

gonza172 7/25/2019

We bought this from Best Buy on May 1. We had to wait 7 weeks due to back order issues. So, finally installed in late June. Within two weeks two of the knob controls could not be turned; they locked up. So, we request a replacement and again get multiple delivery delays. In the meanwhile, while turning a control knob that was working, we hear a loud pop. Then, within a few minutes the whole cooktop starts bowing and completely cracks in the middle of cooking. The stovetop then wouldn't power off so we had to turn off the circuit. Luckily no one was seriously injured in this ridiculous incident.

Downdraft sweats, causing mildew

Laura8113 7/11/2019

We bought this cooktop 5 years ago. I really like it, but the downdraft pulls warm air from outside, causing moisture to build up in the bottom. We have had a problem with mildew forming in the bottom of the downdraft and on the filter.

Very happy, but I noticed a small scratch after three one half weeks. The pans we have are smooth flat bottoms. Hope this is not a recurring issue. Unit sets off the kitchen appearance nicely.

Good - but,

LESJOY 5/13/2019

The first unit delivered had a cosmetic problem with small area not painted. Replacement appears to be OK. Two areas of concern; we looked everywhere and used online Q&A and never got an answer as to the two different wattages on the burner that has two size circles. No one appears to know. Secondly the pictures for marketing appear to show each burner with a different shade of black so as to know where the outline of the burner is. The reality is you almost cannot tell without turning on the burner and letting it get hot/glowing.

I am not used to cooking on a ceramic top yet but this is a very nice cooktop with a lot of great burner sizes that even fit my 12" skillets!

Looks good works ok

KitchenAid Sucker 5/1/2019

We purchased this because we weren't ready to do major demo. Our existing cooktop is downdraft and the choices were limited. We purchased other appliances through KitcheAid so decided to go with them. We were however disappointed to see that the cooktop does not sit flush on our countertop something they could have disclosed before purchase. There is a quarter inch gap allowing food and fluids to seep through. Also the downdraft feature is very poor and unless you are using the burner closest to the vent, it's useless. My opinion this was an overpriced low quality purchase.

Disappointed

Danich401 2/26/2019

I purchased this cooktop to replace an old Kitchenaid cooktop a couple of weeks ago. The burners are already showing a discoloration that seems to be below the glass surface, not burnt on food. The ultra heat burners are difficult to control heat and are too hot, damaging my cookware.

I had a GE downdraft for 20 years but it finally died. In researching replacement downdraft stovetops, this was the only one available at a decent price. All others were EXTREMELY high priced.

Works perfectly and I know how to clean a glass cook top. You see people complain about it being hard to clean.....they just need to learn how to clean it.

Nebsky 8/10/2018

Purchased to replace a 24 year old ge coil because we upgraded entire kitchen. This thing is so much better. Heats evenly and performs great. I was hesitant to cook on it because it looks so nice. I clean it with special cleaner before i cook but then again after the burners have cooled down larger. Could not be happier

Overall, I'm very pleased with this cooktop. I could nit-pick about the knobs not all having the same feel and the heating elements being difficult to see, but I'm really pleased I made this purchase and would do so again.
