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.

I haven't had the cooktop long enough to totally feel comfortable with it yet. However, I do like the grates and burners. I do not like the indicators on the knobs to turn the burners on and off. They are way too difficult to read. We purchased the griddle, and really like using it.

Poppy2 7/18/2019

We compared this model Kitchenaide and the GE. We liked both but knew Kitchenaide was a better quality and was built in America. The one feature we liked on the GE was the backlit knobs. When we were looking at the Kitchenaide I didn't see that as a feaure. Imaging my delight when I used it for the first time and wow backlit knobs. The only negative I would have is the settings on the knobs are so faint you can barely see them. Other than that this is a great cooktop.

We replaced all of our Kitchen Aide Superba appliances with the latest high end Kitchen Aide appliances. We are very pleased thus far. The newest version of the cooktop is far more spacious and utilitarian.

Perfect cooktop

Joseph7 5/16/2019

As part of our kitchen remodel, I bought this cooktop to replace our original 14 year old Kitchenaid cooktop that was working just fine. We are so happy with the new unit. Kitchenaid impressed us once again. Illuminated knobs are a great feature to let you know the stovetop is on when the flame is very low. Satisfied customers!

Not the same 36"

StuM 5/6/2019

Recently bought this cooktop to replace a circa 10yr old 36in Kitchenaid unit. Be aware that although the same size (36in) and manufacturer it might not fit without expensive countertop alterations. It required about 1/4in opening increase to fit and therefore does beg the question why? Otherwise an excellent product and would have scored higher.

bfar 5/3/2019

We purchased this cooktop because we like the Kitchenaid name and product line.We thought it would give us more cooking space.We have had it about 3 weeks and it is beautiful to use, especially the center burner! I also like the fact that the knobs light up when turned on! We use gas to cook and its nice to see when the burners are on even when the fire is not. I only wish the knobs had more protection from the heat. I would recommend this cooktop!

Pros: + Metal knobs + Etched lettering so that it doesn't come off with cleaning + Simmer /power burner Cons: - Worse design than GE. The dials are spread out all along the bottom vs clustering them in the middle. This leads to a loss in cooktop space because the grates are just a rectangle vs extending to the bottom on either side to pick up extra grate space (see the 30" model to see what the extended grate looks like) - Poor dial and big burner placement also means that if you try to put a big pan in front, it encroaches on the dials underneath. Kitchenaid should have either clustered the dials in the center so large pots in front don't overhang, or put the larger burners in back and brought the smaller burners forward. - The grates just sit on top without a good locking mechanism. Just a small piece of rubber to go over a nubbin. The grates still move around. Again here too, the GE cooktop did much better. The similar tier GE cooktop we were looking at has a full recessed perimeter in the metal body so there's no way the grate feet could get out of that enclosed space. I don't recommend this model.

lbpsc17 4/12/2019

I would have given it 5 stars but it is very hard to read the information around the dials. I had to memorize the settings for each of the dials because I can't see them without a lighted magnifying glass. The print is so faint. The burners though and the ease of clean-up are fabulous.

Happy with purchase 3/5/2019

We have been using our new cooktop for a couple of months and couldn't be happier. The design is clean and modern. The protective finish makes clean up easy. The grates distribute the heat evenly for efficiency and browning. Simmer burner is especially useful for soups and stews.

Love the burners on this one

Denalismom 2/15/2019

I love that there isn't 2 little tiny burners on this cooktop. The center burner is so quick to bring things to boil. The griddle is not the best design though. You can can 3 grilled cheese sandwiches on it for our family that just means we're eating in shifts

Piyush 2/12/2019

I bought this in 2017 and got it installed around two months after receiving it. Great product and great performance. Only issue is that it is difficult to know if the stove is on or off from the knobs since there is no distinct marking on the knobs to clearly see where they point to.

I've had this cook top for one month. It is so serious, I'm amazed to own this. there is a burner that supplies even heat as opposed to just a circle of flames. there are two burners that have smaller burners inside for simmer. If you are finished making your, dish, you can change the burner to simmer and leave it where it is. My favorite part is the lighted knobs to indicate the burner is on. Great safety feature.
