Love this Cooktop

We have lived in 12 places in 24 years, 1/2 of those homes had a leading USA competitors product that builders often commit to. A few years back, in a different home, we also bought what I like to call the "beta" version of this cooktop. I have also used "professional" cooktops. I make EVERYTHING from scratch due to severe food allergies in the family, so I have a lot of hours with each device and strong opinions about them all. I dare to say that this is the BEST cooktop I have had the chance to interact with. Kitchen Aid has significantly improved the product from a few years back. The burners are amazing with precise heat control, and I love love love the even heat burner on the front right, it is life changing, as well as a true melt on the back left. For a 30" cut out, the layout is very good, and most large pots and pans can be used well together. An improved feature I love is the factory finish on the stainless steal, so cleaning up after cooking is just a damp soft towel followed by a microfiber dry one. Bam done. No more hours and hours of my life cleaning the cooktop. The grill and burner caps are almost as equally easy, even when the kids or my husband are cooking and there is a huge disaster mess. A little soap and water with a toothbrush and you can move on with your life. If you are on the fence between some other posh choices, let me help, because I have cooked with them all, go with this one. My last top of the line, builder choice was a 5 burner, but all the pots did not fit, it took 30-45 min to boil water (this KA takes me 6-12min), it was a nightmare to clean, and the 5th burner worked when it was in the mood even after the certified fix it guy came repeatedly. The "professional" one is a nightmare to clean, get the screwdriver out then scrub till your fingers bleed. I could not be happier with this cook top.
