Rated 5 out of 5 by Tom Ma from Great Cooktop with extra features!!! This appliance was part of new Pulte home build in Ocala, FL.

Date published: 2025-12-09

Rated 5 out of 5 by pjs84 from Was part of builder's package in newly built house. Seems to cook well and evenly. Cleanup is easy of course but I find it to smear easily regardless of cleaning with soapy water or Weimann's stove top cleaner. Takes a lot of careful buffing to get out the strokes left after the cleaning process.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Barney66 from Well made product!! Easy to install and the unit works perfectly. The knob controls are easy to set the right temperature.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Brewbaby from Love this cooktop! I love this cooktop. Took me a couple of times using it to understand it, but I love it. Also, like how the exhaust fan comes on automatically when it senses heat. It is just so cool!

Rated 5 out of 5 by NEboygoat from A nice looking piece of equipment. We really love the 5 burners and the smooth cook top. Our old cooktop had the burners sticking up.
