  1. Mitt

    Functioning good so far. but parts didn’t arrive on time and the surface is easily stained

  2. Cooktop

    One of the burners went out in the first week after purchase. Service guy came out and requested the part but apparently it will take 3+ weeks before they can even request a status as to where the part is. Not impressed at all.

  3. Merc

    Looks beautiful works perfectly heat on the spot. Great value

  4. Hawkeye63

    Easy install and a great product for kitchen upgrade!

  5. ParreiraBoysMom

    My old one spot working, I just updated for next model.

  6. Look

    It works okay but a few areas are more desirable! #1. The whole thing is black, especially the knots, it is hard to see the positions.
    #2, there are about 14 bare screws protruding out of the bottom, poor design and safety ignorance which cut my wife’s hand while tried to reach for the pots placed underneath.
    #3, wrong instruction manual is placed indicating the unprofessional manner of the shipping department.

    It does give me a second thought regarding the brand on my next purchase of refrigerators!

  7. Jaz10

    Amazing cook top. The only down side is that it scratches very easily. Otherwise it works very well.

  8. Oldtimer

    I purchased this one to replace my old Whirlpool. The good is the size for right into the countertop, no hassle there. Everything else is more less familiar. The price is reasonable, that never hurts.

    Here is a wishlist, hoping Whirlpool will improve on:
    1. Cleaning, this one is a lot more difficult to clean. Any small oil droplet will show up as a big smudge.

    2. Better indication on which switch aligned with which cooktop. The old one layout the switch position as the range, lower left corner point to the lower left range. The new one; however, line up the switch in one straight line and the little white dot next to the switch is not the most clear. I am still trying to get use to it.

  9. Not4me

    I canceled this order. It was scheduled twice. The first time was delivered but they were not able to install it. The second time I waited all morning and no-one showed up.

  10. Mndy

    It’s get scratches easy after two times used. Buy better brand

  11. Trav

    Nice, Sleek, Elegant and it heats up really fast. The technology has gotten much better.

  12. Carol

    My previous glass stovetop did not properly fit the counter opening, and when I cleaned it, it wiggled around, finally developing some cracks. Not wanting to use a cracked electric stove, I carefully measured the counter space, and found this Whirlpool, which is exactly the right size! I am so happy that I purchased it! I works beautifully, and looks elegant in my kitchen.

  13. Unknown

    Excellent customer service , everything it was detailed and understandable.

  14. Jumpoffroofs

    The cooktop is working pretty good and I like very much. I use to cook everyday.

  15. AnonymousAtlanta

    The cooktop works well, though the automatic heat sensor has a habit of turning the burner off while on high boiling water. It appears to sense that no heat is needed. It was easy enough to install. The cooktop is a bit difficult to keep looking clean.

  16. user960284

    We wanted to replace an old Whirlpool cooktop. This new model fit perfectly with no expensive, messy, granite cutting. It looks good and cooks very well. From our own experience and talking to others, we are confident that the mechanical temperature controls are the best choice for reliability. Not as sleek, but not prone to failure.

  17. LuisF

    Comes surprisingly well packaged. Looks great and was easy to install. I took it apart to verify the components and was pleased to find that Whirlpool used quality parts and didn’t skimp to save a few pennies. Best of all it fit like a glove! The cut out instructions were spot on. You cant go wrong for the quality and price.

  18. OverWhale8

    Works well. Like the 2 size burner. Easy to clean and care for.

  19. KimberlyyS

    I thought whirlpool was a good brand. We remodeled our kitchen and had this put in our island. I was SO CAREFUL last night when I used it the VERY FIRST TIME. I gently put the skillet on the burner. Afterwards the burner is all scratched up! I couldn’t believe it! I wanted to cry!

  20. KaylaB

    Cooktops works very well. Would recommend to anymone looking to buy a new one.

  21. Thommette

    We replaced an 18 year-old electric cooktop with this Whirlpool model and it’s been great so far. It was easy to install, but there’s inaccurate information on the installation instructions about the amperage. The particular model we bought is compatible with 30A circuits; the instructions call for 40 or 50. We double-checked with the manufacturer and the printed instructions were incorrect.

    Another thing to note is that the line indicator on the control knobs are just a groove — you need to be careful that it truly points to the off side if you want the cooktop off. It would’ve been helpful if Whirlpool added a color line or dot on the control knobs.

  22. TahiraQ

    Very poor service the size was not correct and also they did not pick up or her lab with the old 1 as was promised

  23. Tebo

    Everything was great except the specs say it’s 28.5” wide, it’s really 29”. I had to get the hole enlarged in my granite top which cost $120.

  24. user305076

    I changed from gas to electric cooktop and after using it for several weeks, I find it works very well, and seems better for the environment than the gas model.

  25. Noway

    Just what I needed for my rental unit my tenants are happy

  26. user964549

    Some adjustment getting used to new vs old cooktop but product is working well and overall we are pleased with the replacement

  27. SlobodanB

    Slick, nice and elegant in my kitchen. Works fine with wall oven

  28. FuzzyStew

    Very sleek and modern. Heats up well & easy setup.

  29. Edward

    Purchased this item to update my parents’ cooktop. Simple and quite easy to use, clean and maintain. Simple enough for my 80+ dad to operate. We’ve had this for over two years now and I could have been more satisfied with this purchase.

  30. MelanieH

    Purchased this for my Mom and myself. The first time she cooked on it, water from boiled eggs overflowing left a difficult stain to get off. I have only used mine a couple of times and ….any little splatter leaves difficult spots to get off.

  31. JamesR

    Just installed this unit but to start it is working just fine. It is only the first week, but it is performing as planned.

  32. DeborahP

    Fit our countertop perfectly and was an easy install.

  33. GayleK

    Overall seems good. It replaces my previous cooktop and it fit my current opening. Only draw back is the black knobs only have indentations instead of white dots which makes it hard to see heat level.l

  34. PrabinG

    Perfect and looks good.easy to operate and understand the tools to use.fast heat and cooldown easily

  35. EdC1

    It was a great experience and salesman was knowledgeable

  36. Unknown

    A great unit at a great price and the staff was very caring.

  37. RamkumarN

    good cooktop with black color and it is super easy to clean, which is a great advantage

  38. AlejandroB

    My experience has been a hustle, Yesterday at 3:11 pm the third technician came in and as the previous two he reached the same conclusion of the other 2, as it turns on and off the cooktop is good. Although he said that this cooktop does not work for us. To keep a low cooking meal or to get high heat, or to simmer, those features can’t be use.
    We aren’t proffessional cooks or chefs, we just want a cooktop that works.

  39. SamirA

    Excellent price for a good quality countertop range

  40. Ohms

    Works great! Would help if the burners were outlined so I could see them better.

  41. YongP

    It was easy to install, and the design was very good! It has good firepower, and it’s very easy to clean

  42. Unknown

    I like the brand and color. It was a good deal. I would recommend

  43. JenR

    Terrible delivery service. Was not communicated with that the order was going to be delayed and was not going to be received by Thanksgiving. I had to make several calls to Best Buy to find the product. Each department sent me to another department. Still waiting on the item to arrive.

  44. KennethG

    Efficient and nice,but doesn’t heat up the pan that quickly. Buttons are confusing

  45. BruceW

    Doesn’t get hot just barly boils water. Glass got white spots in it that won’t clean up. Can not recomend this

  46. SimonT

    Good look and quality. Easy of use with super CP value.

  47. misty

    Works as expected. However the dials are all black and make it difficult to see where the temp. you want is. I would not purchase another one for that reason.

  48. BestBuyCustomer

    Good quality build. Knobs operate smoothly. Would buy it again.

  49. RussellWither

    Wonderful purchase! It was worth the money. Installation was fast and clean.

  50. ArnisB

    Great service from the associate who helped me make a purchase. He was informative and patient and kind. I hope I see him again when I make another purchase.
