Description
This Whirpool(TM) 36" professional cooktop gives you space and versatility so you can prepare many everyday dishes. Continuous cast iron grates with EZ-2-Lift hinged design allow you to lift the grates without removing them, giving you quick access to spills. SpillGuard(TM) upswept edges prevent liquids from spilling out of the cooktop. For even more thorough cleaning, you can safely put grates and control knobs in the dishwasher. The SpeedHeat(TM) burner generates temperatures high enough to quickly boil water and stir-fry meals, while the AccuSimmer(R) burner with power reduction function provides better control at low temperatures, which is ideal for simmering sauces. Burners are sealed to prevent food from falling inside, meaning that cleaning is child's play. For greater versatility, you can install this cooktop near a wall oven or separately. Backed by a 1-year limited warranty on parts and labour.

First time gas cooktop user
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This came with our new house, and everyone raves about gas so I was excited to use it. I have been cooking on a ceramic smooth cooktop pretty much my whole life. Everyone thinks gas is so much faster, but I haven't felt that way yet. Even on the rapid boil middle burner, it still takes 15 minutes or so to boil a pot of water for pasta. I guess my ceramic cooktops had been far superior to other cheap electric stoves. I just expected it to cook things faster like I'd been hearing for years.
I love the way it looks in my kitchen and it works great so no complaints.

Sleek design, works great
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This unit came with the builders appliance package. It was the modern look we wanted. It works great with even flame on all the burners. The one drawback to this design is the stainless steel drip area under the grates scratches very, very easily. When we moved in we noticed it had large scratches that occurred during the installation/cleanup. The builder also warned us that it scratches very easily but agreed to replace it. Why design a finish that scratches easily for an area that requires regular cleaning after use? Good design must include not only aesthetics but functionality and ease of use.

Extremely poor design
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was installed in our brand new home. The first time my wife used this product the heat completely melted the knobs. We are extremely lucky she noticed it before she tried to turn the knob off with her hand. She could have been badly burned. The safety team acted like it was operator error! Unbelievable Do Not buy this product! It’s extremely dangerous

Gas cook top 5 burner
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After having glass cooktop for over 20 years I've been cooking for over 45 years happy to be able to cook with gas. Happy I don't have the expense of buying glass cooktop cleaner and Really having to Scrub Scrub Scrub to get the glass clean. And much better to use regular pots and pans on Gass cooktop. Easy to clean with stainless steel spray cleaner 1,2,3,Done! Saving lots of money not having to buy glass cooktop cleaner! Gas does cook faster also.My sister is also switching to same gas cooktop as me we both built new homes! Gas is the way to go! Love it!

Great product for a great price
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this cooktop to replace another Whirlpool cooktop that came with the house when we purchased it. The existing cooktop worked and there were no issues with it other than it had some scratches and I wanted it to look new. I love the easy to lift grates as this makes cleaning the cooktop so easy. I also like the center burner and how it is placed in the center versus being more towards the back in the old one. Whirlpool makes great products that last and you definitely get what you pay for. Thank you for making such well made products.

The look and feel of quality
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This cooktop was a replacement for an older unit that finally failed. The opening left from the previous unit exceeded the maximum cutout specifications for this new unit so I modified the opening as needed with custom cutting of tile to fit the need. The heavy duty iron grates have a real solid feel to them but lift easily out of the way plus the completely sealed burners should make for easy care and cleaning. The various sizes and heating capabilities of the 5 burners are varied enough to satisfy almost any cooking need. Our system uses LP gas so the LP conversion kit that comes with the unit (regulator and orifices) had to be installed. No adjustments or fine tuning of the flame controls were necessary. Has the look and feel of quality I guess is the best way to describe my impression of this Whirlpool appliance.

I’m Cooking with Gas!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My husband and I moved into our new home about a month ago. When choosing our appliances, we had the option to pick gas or electric (smooth top). I grew up using a gas stove, which was over 45 years ago, and have been cooking on a smooth top electric stove since then. I was ready for a change, so I decided on the gas stove cooktop and I am so glad I did! I’ve been using it for a little more than a month. I love how the cast iron grates are hinged for easy cleanup. I also found that using gas cooks food faster than electric and preheats my cookware faster. One of the best things I really like about my new gas stove is its classic looks. It makes me feel like a chef!
