Rated 1 out of 5 by Anonymous from Looks Pretty, but . . . I like how the grates lift easily for cleaning. However, 26 days after installation, I needed service for a burner which would not turn off. After that was repaired, another burner became dangerous and is being replaced. The knobs are designed for a left-handed person (it turns on counter-clockwise). The burners are too close together so when you want to put pans on the standard burners (both on the same side), it isn't possible for them to cook evenly. Did anyone bother to "test" out the prototype? I'm so disappointed because most of my appliances are Whirlpool and I love them. I am seriously considering replacing my "new" cooktop with a different brand.

Rated 2 out of 5 by josh2415 from Searching for Suggestions.... I love gas cooktops and have used them for nearly 30 years. We waited for years to upgrade to this model and shopped around for several months before purchasing. We've experienced the same disappointments others have mentioned: inability to use all burners at the same time, and lowest temp settings not being low enough for some food prep. Recently, though, we've encountered a safety issue. The left rear burner takes a really long time to light. By the time it ignites, the kitchen smells so strongly of gas I have to open the doors. (The other burners still turn on with no problem.) Any suggestions you can offer to address these problems would be greatly appreciated.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Skydvr from I like mine I changed to gas from electric and this is great. All my family has used Viking gas stoves for most my 50 years and this is my first gas stove and I and everyone else in my family love it.) I have read the other reviews and don’t understand some. Can’t simmer? Use smaller burner. To high grates. Any lower and it scorches they are the same height as others and I measured. To hot? Turn it down or move it off center heat. I have a cast iron griddle and that is the BEST for it. Only problem I have is I melted one of the knobs and that was something I never did but blame plastic I’ll go for the metal replacements. As for innovation? It’s a gas stove how much have they changed in the past 100 yrs? So ......

Rated 5 out of 5 by BACKBREAKER from WHIRLPOOL 30" GAS COOKTOP I RARELY USE MORE THAN ONE BURNER AT A TIME SO I WANTED SOMETHING EASY TO USE AND VERY EASY TO CLEAN...THE RECESSED COOKTOP WITH THE FOLD-UP GRATES IS A DREAM COME TRUE...THE FACT THAT THEY ARE VERY HEAVY DUTY AND YOU CAN SLIDE YOUR PAN FROM THE BURNER TO AN OPEN SPOT IS WHAT SOLD ME ON THIS COOKTOP...THE SIMMER BURNER IS SOMETHING I ALWAYS WANTED AND LOOKED FOR IN A NEW COOKTOP...THE BEST FEATURE IN MY MIND IS THE ELECTRONIC IGNITION WHICH IS SO MUCH BETTER THAN RE-LIGHTING A BLOWN OUT PILOT LIGHT...ABSOLUTELY NO REGRETS ABOUT BUYING THIS MODEL...

Rated 4 out of 5 by Carol, the runner from Looks are great, but.... I purchased a "ready now" home with this 4 burner gas top. I do a lot of cooking, but found this design not compatible with my style. If you use two large pots/pans on the back burners, that's it. There's no room for any thing on the front burners, not even a small pot. Last large gathering, I ran out of useable burners, and cooked in shifts, not optimal if you'd like to serve fresh hot food. I'm hoping new cookware and accommodations will help me like this cook top better. Looks, knobs on top, variable burners dare real pluses.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Handykid65 from great design Selected this cook top as part of a countertop and appliance upgrade. I read several online reviews complaining about both large burners in back making them difficult to reach. I am 5'6" with average arm length and have zero problems reaching to the back. This cook top looks high endAnd professional grade; love the swing up cast iron grates, finish is beautiful. Burners are range from small simmer in left front , two mid range and a high power quick cook in back left. Flame is even and grate height is perfect. Very happy!

Rated 1 out of 5 by Puja L. from Grates are no good The grates are too high from the source. This leads to significant amounts of wasted energy and higher cook times. Has anyone found replacement grates for this model? Has Whirlpool come up with a solution?

Rated 2 out of 5 by Everest from Grates are too high The grates are too high resulting in a lot of wasted energy. They need to seriously reconsider the height on their next redesign and for the guinea pigs like me offer grates on sale with a lower height.
