Ok features, but idiotic design

Pros: + Metal knobs + Etched lettering so that it doesn't come off with cleaning + Simmer /power burner Cons: - Worse design than GE. The dials are spread out all along the bottom vs clustering them in the middle. This leads to a loss in cooktop space because the grates are just a rectangle vs extending to the bottom on either side to pick up extra grate space (see the 30" model to see what the extended grate looks like) - Poor dial and big burner placement also means that if you try to put a big pan in front, it encroaches on the dials underneath. Kitchenaid should have either clustered the dials in the center so large pots in front don't overhang, or put the larger burners in back and brought the smaller burners forward. - The grates just sit on top without a good locking mechanism. Just a small piece of rubber to go over a nubbin. The grates still move around. Again here too, the GE cooktop did much better. The similar tier GE cooktop we were looking at has a full recessed perimeter in the metal body so there's no way the grate feet could get out of that enclosed space. I don't recommend this model.

I would have given it 5 stars but it is very hard to read the information around the dials. I had to memorize the settings for each of the dials because I can't see them without a lighted magnifying glass. The print is so faint. The burners though and the ease of clean-up are fabulous.
