About

The Dacor Modernist DTI30M977BB is part of the Cooktop test program at Consumer Reports. In our lab tests, Cooktop models like the Modernist DTI30M977BB are rated on multiple criteria, such as those listed below.

High heat: Reflects how quickly the highest-powered element heated water to near-boiling.

Low heat: Reflects how well the lowest-powered element or burner kept a low temperature as for melting chocolate and how the most powerful element, set to low, held tomato sauce below a boil.

Results in the following chart are gathered from Consumer Reports’ 2018 and 2019 Spring Surveys of 19,143 electric cooktops, owned by members who purchased a new unit between 2009 and 2019.

Our predicted brand reliability ratings are based on a statistical model that estimates problem rates within the first 5 years of ownership, for electric cooktops that are not covered by an extended warranty or service contract. We also adjust for the number of days of use per week. The median in our survey was 6 days per week. Higher ratings are indicative of better reliability. Brands receiving a red or orange rating cannot be recommended by CR at this time.

Our owner satisfaction ratings are based on the proportion of members who are extremely likely to recommend their electric cooktop brand to friends and family.
