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.

Just purchased a new home in Queen Creek, AZ and builder had this cooktop installed into our home. At first I was hesitant that this would work as I am used to regular stove, but the moment I started cooking, feel in love. Originally posted on Kitchenaid.com

I purchased this cooktop a month ago. I am reasonably happy with its performance. However, there are some design flaws. The grates are positioned too high above the burners so it takes an unreasonably long time for a pot of water to boil. Make sure you use the proper burner for the job. Placing a small pot on one of the front burners only burns the side of the pot and does not heat the contents since the two front burners are for large pots and pans. It would be preferable to have one small burner in the front and not two large. Along with my cooktop purchase, I purchased a KA single wall oven that was installed below the cooktop. If you are small in stature you might want to rethink this configuration. KA oven door handles extend quite a bit which forces you to stand back from the cooktop. And, since the knobs on the cooktop are stationed in front and not on the side, you need a long reach to access the two small back burners. If you like stainless steel appliances, you'll have to deal with the smudge marks. I do love the simmer burner. Along with the overall look of the cooktop, the simmer burner is my favorite feature.

I am so excited to have this new cooktop. I love cooking with gas. This model has 5 burners and the center burner is really a two in one. My favorite feature is how easy cleaning up is. This cooktop allowed me to gain so much extra space for storage in our remodeled kitchen. Originally posted on Kitchenaid.com

Our new cooktop has been installed only about a week but we love it. It looks great with our new countertops. The best part is that it cleans up so easily, much better than our previous cooktop. No complaints at all. Originally posted on Kitchenaid.com

This replaced a 17 year old GE Gas 4 burner cooktop when we updated our countertops. So happy with the flame control and especially the 'melt' burner when I need a very low simmer. Have only been using for a month but looking forward to many years of use! Originally posted on Kitchenaid.com

2 years and it needs to be replaced? Consider buying a better-quality cooktop. All my appliances are brand new Kitchenaid and I know better. I should have consider purchasing a different brand of cooktop, but wanted all the appliances to "match". Problem #1-you just barely tap on the knob and it ignites, to be safe you should take your knobs off. Problem #2-the feet fall off easily and to get replacements you must buy the WHOLE burner? If I replace the burners $300.00 in just two years. I had a Jenn Aire that the burners are still great after 20 years. Problem #3-the knob background is falling off. Please see photos below.

This new one was a replacement of an older Kitchenaid 30" that I wore out. The new design is very pleasing to the eye. I like that the grates are raised up and that the surfaces are coated with something that makes clean up very easy. I love cooking on this cooktop. Originally posted on Kitchenaid.com

Works fine. Appearance is high on my list. Functional and good looking. Heavy duty grates. Originally posted on Kitchenaid.com

We love the utility of this cooktop. Five burners in a 30" unit. The dual power center burner is a terrific feature. If I had to make one criticism, it would be that the guides around each knob could be more readable. Too subtle in color to be easy to see. Otherwise a great product.

Pros: I love the look, finish and quality of the product. It is very well made and likely to stand up to many years of use. Cons: Designed by people who probably never cooked a meal in their life or else cooked for only large families. First - The heat spreaders are very large. By large I mean that you cannot use a pan smaller than 8 inch diameter on even the small burner. larger pans (10 - 12 - 14 inches) needed for the large burners. I need to boil 3 eggs every morning. It used to take about 4 - 5 minutes on my old electric cooktop (3 minutes on my portable induction cooktop). With this cooktop I have to use a larger pan/pot which means more water and a correspondingly longer cook time (10-12 minutes at least). If I try to use large burners the flames spread out beyond the base of the pot and heat both the handle and the exhaust vent above. For heating large pots and pans, this cooktop is excellent and I have no complaints. Second - The space between the top of heat spreader and bottom of pan is almost 2 inches. This allows a lot of heat to escape from the bottom. I understand that this space allows heat to spread evenly across the bottom of the pan and reduce hot spots but it also creates a lot of inefficiency. I would strongly recommend that you try and actually use one of these cooktops before buying. Most of my complaints will not affect you if you cook large quantities of food or use large pans.

The grates are too high, so it takes too long to boil water. Very inefficient. Called the customer service, but they won't do anything about it. Originally posted on Kitchenaid.com
Monika2019 3/24/2019
Everyone said that the gas is so much more better than everything else. I disagree, would remove it, if i could now, everything boils super slow, the height from the gas to the grates is probably to high, all my pots are heating around and are burned around. The grates are very hard to clean to get them back to non greasy stage, tried everything. Very disappointed, I would not recommend this to anyone, unless you have lots of time out of the day to cook and clean. Originally posted on Kitchenaid.com

I consider Kitchen Aid a top-of-the-line product. I've never been disappointed in the quality and performance--my new gas cooktop has both. Also bought a new KA counter depth refrigerator in black stainless steel. P.S. My KA blender was bought in the 80's and still works like new! Originally posted on Kitchenaid.com

After having this cooktop for 4 months I have several positives but 1 major negative. I love the variety of burners, the unit looks great, but I have never had a gas cooktop that takes so long to boil water. After having a good look at the cooktop while in use, my conclusion is that the nice commercial-looking pan-support grates are just too far away from the burners, so that when in use the base of the pans are not getting the heat / energy that they should to heat the pans. If KitchenAid could make some grates that don't hold the pans so far from the burners this would be a great solution to the problem. Originally posted on Kitchenaid.com

As the title says ... we had an electric cooktop and we've been wanting a gas cooktop. I saw the unit at someones house and I liked it. So I was able to get my hands on one. Luckily I'm a plumber and I do a little electrical work. So I was able to install the unit myself ... MY WIFE IS SO LUCKY .... After getting the unit installed, we cooked our first meal by gas .... IT WAS AWESOME !!! I hate that I waited so long to go gas !! I would recommend this cooktop to everyone. Sidenote - Reason for 4 stars and not 5 .. The only negative thing I have to say is the fact that the burner area isn't large enough for 2 normal size pans at the same time. We have the 30" , but I believe the 36" is the same ... so I think it would be a negative no matter what. Originally posted on Kitchenaid.com

Bought recently from Lowes this cooktop and got it installed today, replaced an existing Jenair downdraft with this new 30" cooktop. This really looks great. Only problem is, this cooktop is shortern in size than orgiginal. So now I have almost 1" opening and it doesnt look good. I am really unhappy about this. I have read other reviews having similar issue. I dont know if I need to return this or there are other options. Or I need to replace the island granite which will be additional expense. I do not know if Kitchenaid will help here Originally posted on Kitchenaid.com
