Best Uses
Comment:
the range top was installed last fall during a kitchen remodel. Replaced an older kitchenaid smooth top. The kenmore surface got damaged (etched) from something spilled within a couple of months of using it. Took about six years to do this to the kitcheaid. Wondering if the surface coating is more delicate on the kenmore. I do know how to take care of these too. Otherwise it works well, heats up very rapidly. Will get an induction top next time so we don't have to worry about liquids damaging the hot surface. The stainless edge trim gets scratched easily also.
How long have you owned it:
Three-to-six months
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Comment:
Pro: Great temperature control for an electric cooktop, gets the job done. Comes close to a gas cooktop in terms of temperature control.<br /><br />Cons:<br />1) Blue lights indicates that heating elements are hot, which is potentially dangerous as usally blue signifies cold and red signifies hot.<br />2) Not easy to remove gunk from the little groove that circles around the control push buttons.
How long have you owned it:
Three-to-six months
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
