Comment:

I have had this cooktop since 2005 with no problems. It is beautiful, easy to clean, has even heat, easy to control the heat. You need to have flat pans and can not use cast iron or drop things on it. But when something boils over, no catastrophes at all! I use the glass cook top cleaner on it once a week or when ever I make a mess. It still looks like it came right out of a magazine! I do not deep fry, so can't review that, and of course it does not get as hot as an industrial gas stove, but I have one of those outside anyway.

How long have you owned it:

More than six months

Bottom Line

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
