Description
This KitchenAid® cooktop integrates the ventilation system into the cooking surface so that a separate hood is not needed. Smoke and odours can be removed and taken outside or filtered and recirculated inside. The 10" Even-Heat Ultra(TM) element with simmer setting provides more versatility for high and low temperature cooking techniques. The 6" elements combine the benefits of Even-Heat technology(TM) with a dedicated setting that reaches the low temperatures needed to melt chocolate or butter without scorching. They can reach up to 1200 watts. The 9/6" double-ring round element is a 2-in-1 solution providing the ability to use it for large stock pots or sauté pans. The 300 CFM exhaust rating handles the venting requirements of high temperature cooking techniques like pan searing and stir-frying. The 3-speed fan control matches to cooking needs, effectively removing steam, grease, and odours from the air. For your safety, the hot surface indicator provides a visual indication if a cooking surface is on or still hot. The control lock also helps prevent unintended use and makes it easier to clean the control panel. The cooktop is backed by a 1-year limited warranty on parts and labour.

Scratches horribly!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve had 2 other glass cooktop units over the years, and this is the worst! The unit scuffed and scratched on the first use under very normal cooking conditions. I have NEVER had issue with scratching before, so I didn’t hesitate to purchase another one. However, I am now looking to return this unit to purchase gas as this cooktop is too expensive to show wear after only initial use.

dissappointed... scratches way too easy
Just returned this cooktop after using it only three weeks. already have at least 10 scrataches in the glass that does not buff out; they are definately scrathes from normal use. Specifically, once you put a pot on the glass top, if that pot moves at all, it will likely make a permanent scratch. It was replacing a 27 year-old Jenn-Air cooktop that had 0 scratches... even after me cooking with these same pots for 7 years.

I’m baffled
We just did a kitchen remodel and have purchased all new Kitchen Aid appliances. All is well besides this cook top. I have used it for a week now and there appears to be what looks to be BUBBLES under the glass. I boiled something else tonight and more bubbles! I’m scared to know what this thing will look like in a year. I have quality pots and pans and have looked up care instructions and I feel like I’ve done my part to keep this cook top looking nice so I am really disappointed.

Good sound level.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Brought this two weeks ago. My wife is still getting use to it (old unit was a 30 yr old Jennair) and dislikes how dirty it can get. But works good and I like how it cycles on and off to keep a constant temperature. On install, very good instructions right up to step 4, which leaves you hanging. Tried calling help line, but was only told they could schedule an appointment for someone to come out. Not what I needed. So D- score on customer support. I didn’t see them, but my wife noticed several scratches, so B on QC. Overall, good, not great purchase. Will see what time tells.

Absolutely love my new stovetop
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Purchased to replace our old stovetop that was from 1987. Hated cleaning the burners, uneven cooking, drip pan etc. My new KitchenAid 30-in Smooth Surface (Radiant) Black Electric Cooktop with Downdraft Exhaust is a true blessing and cooking is now enjoyable. No more uneven cooking, sleek looking, easy to clean and the built in downdraft fan keeps all steam, odors etc from permeating my cupboards and home.
Easy to DYI install. 5 stars all the way.

Cooktop knob control, design
I was having problem determining which knob controls which "cooktop eyes". I found the small graphic on the cooktop too hard to read and figure out. So I put a black adhesive symbol on top of each SS knob and placed the same symbol, either below the "eye" or above the "eye", depending on the "eye" location, on the cooktop's corresponding "eye". (Note: I placed the symbol on the SS trim, not on the heated part of the cooktop.) I have included photos to show what I did. This enabled my wife and me to know immediately which control goes with which "eye". I thought your design staff could incorporate this idea in your next model.

Not living up to expectations
I was excited to replace my coil electric stove top with this sleek design. Three years later, I am not so happy--I have tried all the products and still I cannot keep the surface clean. I can have a frying pan on low with a olive oil and food will burn without actually cooking. Today peppers were brown, almost black but not soft and cooked. I was watching and stirring them the whole time. The heat seems uneven. The paint has chipped in a number of places on the vent and needs replacing. I used to love to cook, but this cook top has made cooking less enjoyable.

Ok, but could use some design changes.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My rating is partially based on the fact that we were replacing an almost 30-year old coil cooktop, so anything is bound to be an improvement. That said, it could use some improvement. The glossy black finish shows every spot, fingerprint and scratch. I am just hoping that this unit will still look halfway decent when we decide to sell our house, probably within a couple of years. A matte charcoal, maybe speckled look would be my suggestion. The problem is that there are very few choices available for an electric downdraft unit and most are the glossy black. As for performance, I have found that the burners are slow to bring a pot to boiling.
