About - Whirlpool GLS3064RS
The Whirlpool GLS3064RS is a gas cooktop available from Whirlpool. The GLS3064RS typically costs between $858.00 - $1,049.00. Consumer Reports recommends that you match the features on a model to the needs you have. Here's our take on some of the specifications and features that are commonly available on gas cooktop models like the GLS3064RS. High-power burners: The number of surface cooking burners rated at over 11,000 Btu/hr., maximum. High-power burners are good for quickly heating large quantities, searing, and other high-temperature cooking. Some also perform well on low-heat tasks (when turned to their low setting). Medium-power burners: The number of surface cooking burners with maximum output ratings over 6,500 Btu/hr but not more than 11,000 Btu/hr. Though they don't offer top speed and power, medium-power burners can generally handle all cooking tasks. Low-power burners: The number of surface cooking burners with maximum output ratings of 6,500 Btu/hr or less (sometimes called simmer burners). These are intended for delicate tasks such as sauces.

GLS3064RS 30-in. Gas Cooktop

05/20/2008

Strength

Very beautiful design, quality of built, heavy duty frille, functionality, easy to install

Weakness

Quite expensive at $800 as compared to the other brands

I have had this for about 3 months now and I am really happy that I made this purchased. It matched my other stainless appliances in my kitchen and of course the design and functionality is first rate. Whirlpool is tops among the major brands out there.
