  1. Chris

    Compared to the one I had before this is great. It heats up quickly and easy to clean.

  2. LADYbear40

    Our microwave arrived with a small defect in the door, which prevented us from using it. Best Buy quickly arranged to exchange the unit. Microwave has a lot of features, quite a few more than our previous unit so will require a little more practice. The cooktop is great – it has 5 burners, convenient controls and heats up nicely.

  3. Domdom

    Excellent products , make my kitchen look good. Would buy same brand again.

  4. Donk

    Love the clean lines & style of this stove top.
    Gives even heat fast cooking instant heat
    Negative – hard to keep clean .I us the right pans that wont scratch all Ciusinart & a special stove top cleaner but without those magic wipe erasers & slot!! of muscle it would not stay clean. I did not exspect it to be this hard to keep it looking clean & shiny. I am still researching products that may help !!

  5. Poorreturnpolicy

    Your return policy is not clearly stated or easy to find. You stole my money

  6. Coco

    I LOVE MY NEW COOKTOP,I LOVE THE FACT THAT THE HEATING SURFACE STAYS ON UNTIL IT COOLS OFF, I LOVE THE EVEN HEATING , AND THE FACT THAT THERE IS 5 BURNERS. I JUST LOVE IT.

  7. Kiki

    Great cool too heats up fast , help up well and we use it a lot

  8. INSP3CT0R

    Works great but a little disappointed with the quality of the knobs. They put the highest heat burner next to the control knobs and the chrome colored plastic ring below the knob is attached with an adhesive. The first time using it 3 of those rings came loose from the heat and would slide around until I ordered some high heat double sided adhesive to put under them. I don’t think that should happen at all let alone the first time using it. I really like kitchenaid appliances for the quality and look but this one didn’t do it for me.

  9. Kt21

    Great , we replaced an old cooktop, cooks evenly, control knobs work well,

  10. cooktop

    Love it cooks great and contuine to cook after and keeps it warm is there a special cleaner for this top

  11. TNTray

    I finally got this Kitchenaid installed on Christmas eve. It has been a pleasure cooking, but a pain keeping it clean.

  12. MadeTheSwitchToMac

    Excellent cooktop! Simple to install and works great and looks amazing in our entire KitchenAid kitchen! Very happy with our purchase!

  13. Appliances

    OkI guess haven’t really used it yet could be good could be OK not sure yet

  14. Marty

    Product looks and works great, people involved in scheduling and coordinating delivery was terrible.

  15. Theater

    Beautiful and works absolutely great. I love it that it doesn’t get hot and leave my kitchen hot as well. I can touch it on the outside and not burn my hands

  16. cooktop

    Love the product, perfect set up for burners. Fast, Love it

  17. IrishEyes

    the look of it is cool but to heating system of it is very low but I think is for safety reason but the glass is very hard to clean.

  18. Happyuser

    This item looks very nice and it is preforming very well. Love it.

  19. Lizzie

    So far so good. I have only had it for two weeks and it is performing quite well. It is replacing a GE cooktop which was just awful. This top is much better product and is thicker and the burners are laid out so that I can actually have two large pots or skillets on at the same time. It took almost two months to receive the cooktop, however. Supply lines are really messed up with the pandemic.

  20. JSpain

    Beautiful product, looks perfect In our new kitchen.

  21. Rj358

    Best cooktop I have owned replaced a 20 year old magic chef cooktop I like the dual ring burns

  22. CooktopInstallation

    A bit disappointed on this cooktop, the grills heat almost nothing, so cooking takes me a long time. The knobs do not turn very easily. I have always have electric stoves which to the day had worked very well for me, until now.

  23. Firemonkey911

    Love my new cooktop! Has so much power, i didn’t realize how hard I had it with my last cooktop.

  24. KitchenAid

    So far we are very pleased with our new KitchenAid stove top.

  25. Steve

    It was defective. Large burner discolored after first use. Best buy is standing up behind it.

  26. Speakinghands

    Are you kidding me stop askuinge to review something you havent even gotten to me yet.

  27. ssalim

    Great purchase. Happy so far. So far so good.

  28. Mable

    My installers were great! Very professional and knowledgeable!

  29. Friend

    Great stove. I guess it doesn’t take 20 min for water to boil. My new one now works in 2 min!!!! The only downfall is it’s hard to see where the actual burners are until you turn them on!

  30. chance

    Love it so far. Knobs shinier than I like but getting used to them.

  31. Jbackes3

    I absolutely love this cooktop! It has 5 burners, 2 of which are large. I like that the knobs are on the side. The burners heat up quickly! I’ve used it quite a bit since it was installed and I am very happy with our purchase!!

  32. blackgold40

    Looks very nice. Good quality. Like the 5 burner option.

  33. SharonB

    Product and service delivery great. Sales help extra great… very helpful and knowledgeable

  34. SharriG

    The cooktop looks and works great. Heats up quickly and cleans up easily.

  35. MedJD

    The knobs are great, no complaints. Overall what i was looking for

  36. JerryC

    Replaces a well used 23 year old Kitchenaid cooktop

  37. RichardW

    Excellent quality and finish. Unique in that it allows TWO large pots on front burners simultaneously!

  38. CherJ

    Its a nice cooktop, easy to clean, except I had to do some cutting on my cabinet since this one needed more depth space.

  39. Puck

    Kitchenaid is top of the line. Love their products

  40. JimM

    Do not buy, you will be sorry. Confusing to select the right knob for the burner you intend to turn on. Knobs should be arranged in a format that aligns with the burners.

    Takes too long to heat up when you are trying to cook something on high heat. And the lowest simmer settings are too hot! All around not useful.

    Ceramic top scratches too easily. Even my aluminum pan caused a scratch in the surface.

  41. DanaC

    Good value. Five burners. Easy to clean and use. Would recommend.

  42. FootballAddict

    Beautiful and so user friendly. Able to accommodate any size pan and even heating across the board.

  43. Janice

    very nice-looking cooktop but it doesn’t work well. Very inconsistent, heat is not strong at all and the small zone in the middle barely works. Love Kitchen Aid brand and have never had an issue until this cooktop. Not recommended.

  44. Taylor8xeno8

    Very powerful. Looks sleek. Hard to clean, shows everything. Good KA quality as expected

  45. JanineL

    Great price and the installers were excellent! So meticulous! Love the unit!!

  46. RobertS

    Hard to keep clean. I clean my stove after every use, but still some spots are very hard to keep polished clean. Also when using the dual mode ring, it heats up the outer ring even though I’m only using the inner ring.

  47. RolandoG

    Sleek and beautiful! Easy to clean and maintain!!!

  48. Shema

    Love my stove!!! Great quality and it’s easy to clean.

  49. Judyblue

    Love it. 2 big burners in the front. 3 small burners in the rear.

  50. Coffeehouse

    The installers were great. The cooktop is beautiful. It is easy to use, has multiple dual function burners including simmer and melt options. A setting for continuous boil without spilling is fantastic – no more guessing for us coooking novices. The letter/etchings for the gauges is grey on black so it’s not the easiest to see but it does function to make the entire top look black. The look is great with our other appliances and the registration was easy with included QR code on the warranty card. We’ve had it 9 days with no issues. The best feature is it does not shut off automatically if you drip water or sauce on the cooktop. Our prior cooktop would shut off if this happened and if you didn’t see, the food stopped cooking. We are really very satisfied with this cooktop and being a KitchenAid, you know it’s quality.
