Great Improvement

Five burners. Front panel controls (knobs can be removed to clean, however the 'knobs' are hollow for back lighting effects - red indicator light when cooktop is still warm or hot temperature; so they will fill up with water if rinsed upside down). Not sure if the control panel knobs can be 'shorted out' due to internal moisture or not? I just shook them out as best I could then let them sit for a few hours to air dry before putting them back into place. I'm assuming that was not necessary as it is a cooktop and accidents and spills can and will happen; but just trying to keep it safe. The cooktop itself is quite heavy for weight and it sits unattached on top of the counter space. This makes it easy to clean spills and overflows; however you may need another person to gently lift and hold the cooktop whilst another person wipes under the edges if needed. The finish looks very modern and high tech (we went with the black finish to match our other kitchen appliances). The control panel knobs offer quite a wide range of various cooking temperatures and they rotate to determine temps to cook with. This is not an induction cooktop. No magnetic cook-wear is required to use this cooktop. All of your existing cookware pots and pans, etc. will work just fine with this unit. (A cooktop buying consideration if you have spent lots of money on higher end cookware and don't want to replace all of it with magnetic based equipment). The cleaning of the cooktop is much different than just a stainless steel finish. It is a ceramic cooktop; which requires more delicate care and non-abrasive cleaners. The unit ships/comes with a 'starter' sample of ceramic cleaner (which was nice). We like the red glow immediate appearance of the heating 'coils' so that you instinctively are aware they are in an 'on' and heating status (or cooling down after use) for safety reasons. Overall, we are pleased with this cooktop.
