Predicted Reliability & Owner Satisfaction

Results in the following chart are gathered from Consumer Reports’ 2018 Spring Survey of 12,588 electric cooktops, owned by members who purchased a new unit between 2008 and 2018.

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.
