This 30-inch induction cooktop uses electromagnetic energy to generate instant heat directly to your cookware without spreading the heat across the entire cooking surface. A bridge function lets you combine the power of two elements into one large cooking zone for specialty cookware such as a griddle or oval pan.

When shopping to replace our failed Jenn air cooktop, we were considering all of the leading brands-- GE, Bosch, Jenn air, and Kenmore. I read the reviews of many models within these brands, and found reviewers complaining of problems for all these brands. The leading problem was cookware compatibility. I went to cookware sites like WS, and read what readers shared regarding compatibility of various brands. I saw the fewest issues with kitchen aid. I was a little leery about buying another kitchen aid appliance, given the bad luck I had with one of their refrigerators. We've had the cooktop for a few months now and are very happy.
Just had my new kitchen completed. Love the new Induction cooktop! Quick to heat up and boiling water is so amazingly fast!. I had my mothers old cookware, that is 63 years old, and it works great on the induction top! I of course will be buying a new set. I bought all new KichenAid appliances! New frig, oven, cooktop, dishwasher, and vent!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I LOVE my new induction cooktop! I changed from an electric smoothtop range to this induction cooktop in my brand new kitchen remodel. The electric took forever to heat up and then cool down. The induction is instant! Both to heat food and then to have complete control over the temps. There is no comparison. My kids who use gas were even impressed. The cooktop is gorgeous in my island, and cleans up with cooktop cleaner and a paper towel in about two minutes. The only warning I will give is that when using the surface as a counter area (with the lock on the cooktop), be sure NOT to put items on the control panel area. It will begin beeping at you and take a few minutes to return to normal. Once I realized that, absolutely no problems. I will never go back!
Just moved into my new condo. I changed the kitchen package from a full size gas range to the electric induction cooktop. I love it! So easy to keep clean and looks beautiful with my black and white granite with white cabinets. It gives me plenty of cooking versatility. All of my appliances are KitchenAid black stainless - they look so beautiful!
I'm still learning but I already love it! It boils so quickly you can leave the kitchen to go do a quick chore. I love the game instant response time. May I never cook on an electric cooktop again!
Bought the full suite of products, and love the induction cooktop! Easy to use, and love the fact that I can use cast iron (and all induction cookware) on top of a silpat! Prevents scratches, and makes clean up a breeze. It does tend to run hotter on the settings, but that's an easy adjustment. It's allowed me to get reacquainted with my cast iron. The cookware does need to be induction ready, other pans won't work. It did take me awhile to figure it all out, but instructions are great.
We purchased this appliance to replace an older electric unit that was going out. We had previously been debating on getting gas but now I am glad that we went with induction. It is truly the best of both worlds - FAST, responsive, accurate cooking without the risk of an open flame (we have a little one). The cooktop is easy to clean because spills don't get burned on, as heat is generated inside the pan. I've had beautiful results, no burns, and my kitchen looks cleaner longer. It's also simple to use and has a sleek look with no bulky buttons. I love it!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We've always had electric ranges and recently switched to his induction cooktop. We did buy all new cookware and now in our second month my wife is mastering cooking technique and I just last weekend did a 2 1/2 gallon homebrew of a Black Rye IPA and the cooktop worked fantastically. No problem bringing 3 gallons of water or wort to a boil very quickly (this is a 120v install) and boiling for an hour. The Boost setting for ten minutes really gets the heat up quickly and then degree to which fine tune the temperature is amazing. I was concerned about the weight of the iron clad kettle plus the gallons of wort on top of the ceramic glass top but no problem. This cooktop is much more efficient and much more exact in terms of temp control than anything we've ever used before. Highly recommended.
I'm still learning how to cook by induction. One problem I have had is seeing exactly where the heating area is when the pan is on the "burner." The "burner" won't let me use a pan small enough to see the outline of the heating area. Any suggestions?
I've just move in a new house with a whole package deal on kitchen aid set. The cooktop stop working after 2months with the same f47 code many other been reporting !
