Rated 4 out of 5 by Chris M. from Works great, could look better This is the first gas cooktop I have ever owned and I am still getting used to cooking with gas, but overall I love my new cooktop. The only downside to this product is keeping it looking like new. While the glass vs. ceramic is suppose to be easier to keep clean and burnt on spills are supposed to clean up easily, the glass ALWAYS looks streaky. Drives me crazy!! I have been trying many different suggestions and products, and so far have not had much luck. This is why I only gave this product 4 stars. Kitchen Aide, if you have a miraculous product, please share it!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Theav from Professional Looking I can't say enough about this cooktop!!...I love the look, performance and ease of use...Cooktops generally don't have a professional look, this one does, and the glass top is really nice, I loved my old one, and I wasn't in the market for a new one, however, there was a deal going on, which was in it's final day, one day later I would have missed it!!...where if I bought a Micro/Oven combo and cooktop I would get a dishwasher, well I could not pass that up...Glad I did, this is sleek and you don't know how lacking something is until you get something else...this has much better performance in cooking then my old cooktop, and will keep a new look for many years with the glass top..

Rated 5 out of 5 by KJaeb from Cooktop was installed 9 years ago - LOVE IT. Do be careful about bumping edges, say with the olive oil bottle, as it can chip & crack. Someone commented on wishing to be able to turn down to simmer? My mom taught me the trick is to turn back like you are turning off, past the clicker, and you can adjust down to super low heat. (Also see the installation instructions pg. 8 - states that you can adjust the "low" flame height by removing control knob and adjusting with pliers & screwdriver). As far as comments made about cleaning, I keep a small razor scraper to use around the burners and always try to get sticky stuff up quickly (use&care guide says sugary spills if allowed to cool may cause pitting/leave permanent marks to the glass surface). To get the surface nice & shiny (streak free) after cleaning always finish up by drying/polishing with a microfiber cloth - works great.

Rated 4 out of 5 by PlanoGal from Love how this cook top cooks, cleanup not so much I purchased this cooktop for my kitchen remodel. I love the size, and the fact that there is so much room to have multiple pots. I had a glass/gas cooktop before and the cleanup wasn't so bad. This ceramic glass cooktop is more difficult to clean. I think that I have found the trick to ensure that it looks as good after the cooking as it did before. Everything I have cooked so far has come out better than on my old cooktop.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Shreshrey from Powerful Range I really like this range it is beautiful and easy to clean. My only complaint is the grill part, a piece has already broken off, it seems to be wearing down and chipping away. Perhaps the grill cannot sustain the heat from the burners. Now I am on the hunt for a new grill and I can't imagine how much that must be. I've only been using it for 4 years so I'm surprised.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Kevin from The Architect Series II is best in class for 36" cooktops I replaced all the kitchen appliances with a suite of Kitchen Aid products during the remodel of my home. They are not only practical and easy the clean and operate, they also make the kitchen look stylish at a great price compared to the Viking, Wolf and European brands. They are quality made and I fully expect they will stand up over time. You get a lot of bang for your buck. I highly recommend the stove as well as the oven, frig, microwave and downdraft air system.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Unhappy cleaner from Miserable to clean! The stove top cooks excellent and does everything I expected it to do. HOWEVER, the reflective black glass surface is impossible to keep clean. Every little splatter or smudge stands out. Every time it's used, we have to completely dismantle the top down to bare glass and clean, clean, clean. Repeated cleanings will sometimes (but rarely) remove all smears. It doesn't matter what cleaning product we use, it all leaves a smeary surface.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Look To Cook from Wonderful cooking surface and functionality I bought the cook top a month ago. It has excellent heating and saves time because the burner is so close to the heating surface; it does not take much time to heat up the pan or pot surface. I also love the sealed burners. I stayed away from stainless steel because of some of the issues with cleaning. The glass top is best for this reason. It is easy to clean and maintain.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Khill from Great Stove - Easy to use. I purchased this stove to replace a kitchen aid that I had previously owned for 17 years. The previous stove worked fine, we just changed colors. I have found that Kitchenaid has great products. I would recommend this stove to a friend without hesitation.

Rated 5 out of 5 by 2 Mona from Happy with Gas We had our new gas cooktop installed in less than a day including a new gas hookup. It works great. My wife is really happy with it (that's what really counts). It also looks great and is a nice addition to our kitchen.
