Comment:
This cook top is great when it works. Within the two years that I have had stove top, I have had two significant failures: control panel and wire harness replacement. While I do not normally purchase a protection plan for a cook top, I did after the unit failed during the first year. The biggest issue with this unit is that parts take 6 to 10 weeks to arrive even when trying to expedite with Whirlpool and the service plan provider.
How long have you owned it:
More than six months
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Comment:
This stovetop works great while it works. Then, 6 months into our warranty, it simply stopped working. Whirlpool has sent 2 different companies to fix it and nobody has a clue on how to fix it. <br /><br />THAT WAS 7 WEEKS AGO. AND WE STILL DO NOT HAVE A WORKING STOVETOP!<br /><br />I've bought many different stovetops and they tend to last many years without any issues. And when there is an issue, the tech knows how to fix it. <br /><br />Whirlpool makes them cheap and does not know how to fix the stuff they make!!! Unreal!<br /><br />DON'T BUY ANY INDUCTION STOVE FROM WHIRLPOOL.<br /><br />STAY AWAY FROM THIS PIECE OF GARBAGE!!!!!

Comment:
This unit failed less than a month of regular use. An internet search showed a lot of frustrated customers with the dreaded F47 error. 2 of the burners flashed the error and the unit couldn't be reset. We returned the unit to where we bought it for store credit and we'll be purchasing a different brand. Until it broke this unit performed well, it heated very quickly and I liked the touch controls. However, it is obviously unreliable according to me and many unhappy customers.
How long have you owned it:
