Customer Reviews

Rated 1 out of 5 by gmr7 from Poor Quality We had a new kitchen installed and purchased this cooktop among other appliances. Although the knobs on the front indicate high medium and low, the flame for the gas does not change much. You can’t cook anything at a low rate. The flame does not lower hardly at all when you go to medium or low on the knob. What makes this whole experience worse, is when I wrote to Whirlpool on line and filled out all the information about my problem, I received a form letter that amounted to sorry your not eligible for any assistance. I would never buy a whirlpool product again. Very disappointed and stuck with a product that does not work properly. Gina Romancheck

Rated 1 out of 5 by willhachi from Grate designed too high to use This was the default cook-top my builder chose. Minor: Grate on two sides are not leveled evenly. Also the center cross shaped areas on grate are not flat ---- cookware do not sit on the grate sturdily. Major: The grate of this model is way too high to be usable. Anyone who gave 5 stars either never have used other cook-top brands or never cooking. I in fact have compared the grate height in Lowes of all different brands and models of cook-tops. This whirlpool model has the highest ---- the world's highest grate design. I cannot imagine how possible such badly engineered product could go in production. It is a headache that I have to spend time and money to replace this brand new cook-top...

Rated 3 out of 5 by FLMimi from Not what I was expecting We purchased a new house and it came with this cook top converted to propane. I am not happy with it. We have had it adjusted 3 times already and it does not cook consistently. 3 of the burners are for cooking and one is for simmering, or so I was told. The 3 cooking burners run very hot on the low setting and do not work well with smaller pans/pots. The grate does lift easily for cleaning which is nice but over all at this time I would not go with this cook top again. It very well could be that it has not been adjusted correctly or was not installed correctly, but the fact that one burned is not supposed to be used for cooking does not sit well with me.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Oven Mits from Lots of positives The new cooktop provides focused and precise burner control and efficient heating. The location of the two main burners at the rear puts the biggest smoke and fume foods beneath the microwave exhaust fan above. The SS surface below the burners must be carefully cleaned to avoid scratching. Since the burner caps can easily be knocked off the burners during cleaning resulting in scratches in the stainless steel, it is necessary to remove them whenever cleaning. Tough to maintain the original out of the box look. Unless you have the clearance to push the grates to vertical, grates must be held up with one hand while cleaning with the other hand or they must be removed.

Rated 2 out of 5 by CML43 from 30-inch cooktop is almost not usable Builder installed this cooktop in new house. The grate is too high above the burner to be a typical gas heat source. It is a four burner but they are so close together that it is difficult to use multiple pots at the same time. Would never recommend this to anyone unless you want a cooktop for appearance only and do not plan to cook on it. Also, first top had rust on it and spots on the burner rings. Whirlpool service did come out and acknowledged the problem and replaced the deck and burner rings.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Beck54 from Easy to use! We bought all Whirlpool appliances for our custom built home. We wanted a simple cooktop, no grill as we do that outside here in Texas. The base is easy to clean and I recommend Bar Keepers Friend/Soft Cleanser and a soft sponge. And, once clean and cleanser totally gone I always let 'air dry' for best finished results. The black covers come off easily to clean and the actual stainless covers can be removed and cleaned with a soft Brillo pad to remove dark cooking spots. Be sure to replace the black covers exactly else the FLAME will not fire all the way around, take a quick look to ensure proper placement.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Whilrpool Fan from In Love with my 30 in Gas Cooktop! I purchased this product for myself as a birthday gift. I am a true lover of eating out at fine restaurants, but now I am true lover of eating at home. I have fallen in love with cooking and preparing fine meals thanks to my new Whirlpool Cooktop. My old cooktop was extremely old and outdated, but it was still working and guess what? It was a whirlpool as well. Whirlpool still doesn't disappoint even after all of these years. It has a self ignite which is very safe for you won't need a lighter to light your stove. Thank you Whirlpool for making my birthday special and my life so much easier.

Rated 3 out of 5 by LeenaM from Too small but works fine This range came with our new construction home - we didn't have much of a choice in it. That said, after having used it for a few months, my one major criticism is that the burners are TOO close to one another and the range itself is too small. I cant fit 2 medium sized pans on the same side of the range. Having 3 going at a time is almost impossible without having uneven heat on one of the pans. Other than the size, the range has worked as expected. It's easy to turn on the burners, there's even heat and it's definitely easy to clean! Just wish it was a little larger.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Claudia96 from Missing parts Just purchased this last week. And was missing the burner caps. Called in on Saturday spent more then an 1hr on the phone getting transferred from one person to another. Once I did talk to some on I was told items would be shipped out 2nd day. So I waited till Wednesday and still no delivery. So I call back again to ask if I can get info of when my parts are coming in but they said they can't give me tracking info. So now I probably will have to spend my time calling back again. I can't review on if the product work since I can't use it without the burner caps.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Ryder59 from Poor design I have an identical cooktop without the hinges and I don't think Whirlpool ever set any pots or pans on it. It was part of an appliance package I got with a new home and the burners are so close together that if you put a 10 inch frying pan on one of the back burners there isn't enough room for a small pot or medium size pot on one of the front burners. So much for being able to host a decent size dinner for the family. I wish I was able to give this a lower rating than one star because it's not much good for anything when a pot is only halfway on the burner.
