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 1 out of 5 by MRSP from Terrible appliance! I bought this back in March and have had nothing but problems with this item. This is the worst gas stove I have ever had and this is my third one. This is made very cheaply. The grates had to be exchanged out multiple times because they were defective and wobbled. Several pieces have already been replaced on this unit. By now they should have given me a new appliance. The knobs are cheaply made, they are plastic. The burner covers are super wafer thin. I have a service technician coming out soon to address the burner issues that I am having. The burners on the left side have to be manipulated several times before they come on.

Rated 1 out of 5 by LiaP from Rusted and broken within 5 months of use We built a new home and our appliances are all whirlpool. When we moved in before even using the stove we noticed some rust on the burners. We lifted the grate to clean under and a piece came right off. What a disappointment!!!!!!

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 1 out of 5 by moneekio from Grating or our Cooktop broke in the first 4 months The brand new home we purchased came with all Whirlpool appliances, which I was happy to see. It's a brand name we trust. We were disappointed when, after very little use, the cast iron grating on our 30-inch cooktop broke a piece off. In searching for a replacement part, we couldn't find it on the whirlpool parts/accessories website. We couldn't find the exact match online for the grating at the whirlpool website. We saw similar for about $290 -- Seems a high price for a replacement item that might just break right off again. We are kind of disappointed. What is the expected "life span" of the cast iron grating? Is it supposed to match the lifetime of the cooktop?

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 3 out of 5 by bradleyt from Plastic knobs melt - not made for heat! The unit looks nice & works well enough, but not happy with the knobs. I placed a large pot on one of the front burners and the heat from the pot literally melted my knobs! One is now barely usable. I assumed they were stainless steel but quickly discovered they are plastic - and evidently not even heat resistant. Very disappointing for Whirlpool to use such an inferior product and then disguise it as metal - had they looked like black plastic knobs, I'd at least have known to keep the pot away.

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.
