Customer Reviews

Rated 4 out of 5 by Michael43 from Cook top is easy to clean, versatile, sleek-looking and perf Cooktop is completely flat and the controls are all finger touch, making it easy to clean. And the glass top cleans up very nicely without the need (usually) of special cleaners. The heat rises quickly and is controlled by turning the element on and off below the glass top. Going from boil to simmer needs to be watched as the heat does not reduce as fast as is required to stop the boiling and bring the pot to simmer. You may need to go straight to OFF rather than stopping at simmer. The design is very versatile allowing many size pots to be used at once due to the zone heat controlling one of the elements to control three pot size and another to control two pot sizes.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Designerrose from Superb Cooktop! Love this cooktop! We had the knob control model previously, but decided to replace it with this sleek touch control cooktop 5 months ago during a kitchen remodel. Are we glad! The touch panel allows precise temperature control with large digital readout. This cooktop heats faster than gas. The Ultra-Hot burner really will boil a large pot of water in less than 10 minutes! The lock feature keeps little fingers from turning on a burner accidentally. Cerama-Bryte cooktop cleaner gets the job done with little effort, and there are no knobs to remove for cleaning. Yay KitchenAid!

Rated 5 out of 5 by DonnaAZ from Great Looks, Great performance I have cooked on a glass cooktop for about 10 years. Just remodeled my kitchen and many people tried to talk me into getting a gas range. I almost did and then realized how much I loved the flat glass top cooking. It gives you extra counter space, it's easy to clean (no heavy grills to lift off!), the burner options for size of pan is wonderful. I can't find anything I don't like about this product. It heats up fast, cooks evenly, cools down fast, so easy to keep clean. Just make sure you use the right cleaning product and spongy thing and buff to nice shiny finish.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Cape Escape from 30" Cooktop Cooktop is very functional and the controls are sensitive enough that I have not had a problem with something cooking too high or too low. Only two areas that I would recommend for improvement. When the cooktop is off - I cannot tell where the actual cook surfaces are as there is not enough contrast in color shading between the cooking areas and the rest of the glass. The other area for improvement is that 3 of the cooking areas are in the back and only one is in front. The touch controls show two surfaces in front and two in rear. So when I am trying to turn on the right most rear surface (which is actually the right front at the touch control panel) I am always turning on the center back - this is really confusing.

Rated 1 out of 5 by AMG from Scratches Easily, Unintuitive Controls I bought a full KitchenAid kitchen, but this cooktop is a disappointment. Impossible to keep clean and scratches far too easily. After 12 months I need to replace it with a new unit, most likely from another manufacturer, at 100% my cost. KitchenAid and extended warranty were no help. The controls are also unintuitive to use and anyone who hasn't used it before needs a tutorial. Although it looks great when it's new and otherwise performs well enough, any product that damages this easily and needs to be replaced so soon can only get a 1 star rating.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Charger from Bad Design I am not at all happy with the configuration....you lose a quarter of the surface with the controls and then the three back burners are so close together you can't use good sized pots. You can't put stuff down on the controls, so the whole surface is useless. It is easy to clean. I researched all my new Kitchen Aide appliances and did not buy any until I saw it in person. I had chosen a stove top with the knobs on the right like I used to have but was told it was out of stock for eight or so weeks...too long, so the store manager offered me a free upgrade to the "better stove".....So I really did not see it before I purchased it.....The controls work great....that is not the issue, but the setup is just AWFUL....I am sorry I got it.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Kathy S. from Beware of Cast Iron We remodeled our kitchen about 10 years ago with all KitchenAid appliances. We have always had that brand. Included with the remodel was a glasstop electric stovetop. I was never told you couldn't use cast iron and so 2 wks into it, I was using a cast iron frying pan. The stovetop cracked! Granted it was replaced by Central Dist., but since then I have been scared to try cast iron again. Not happy about that!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Pattie56 from Best product This is our second ceramic Kitchen Aid cooktop. The first one was purchased in 1993 along with a diswasher and never had any issues. When we remodeled the kitchen we chose all Kitchen Aid products due to the durability, features and the quality of the products. We are proud owners of a cooktop, dishwasher, microwave/oven and did not even consider any other brands. If you are wondering what happened to the 1993 cooktop and dishwasher, they are still working and with another family that couldn't believe their good fortune to receive these 2 items.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Denise from 30" Electric Cooktop I had my cookstove for only a couple of weeks when I noticed a big scratch on the top. I did not realize that the cooktop would scratch. No one ever top us that you almost need special pans to help avoid scratches. I had a ceramic cooktop for 20 years and not once did I have a scratch and so I figured this would be the same. After numerous calls to different people affiliated with Nebraska Furniture Mart (where it was purchased) and to Kitchen-Aid I've found out that I get to live with this scratch until I purchase a new cooktop.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Oceanwalker from Look, No knobs! The burners are responsive and large enough for our over-sized pans, No knobs make the cleaning much easier and adds to the usable cooking area. Love the power burner that heats water (etc) much faster than our old cooktop. And love the easy to use "touch" control. This is much easier to regulate the heat than the old one. Like all flat-tops, you have to watch the spills and cleanup as quickly as possible. Only downside for me is that you have to avoid "shaking" the pan like you can with a gas cooktop...but that's my cooking style.
