We had to replace our old cooktop due to a severe thunderstorm. A tree on the main road bounce multiple times off power lines causing high voltage surges that fried the cooktop's electronics. We went to the area stores that sell appliances and none of the stores stocked the cooktops. Most of the stores we would have to order and wait 10 days for delivery. So we took a chance and ordered from Amazon. The Karinear cooktop was more than $300 less than the store brands. The cooktop arrived 3 days after ordering. The packaging was sound and there were no issues with the delivery.The cooktop installation was simple with no issues. As long as your counter top opening is parallel to the backsplash and has at least 3/16" on all sides it will be a simple drop-in and the sideclips on the cooktop will hold it in place. The low height off the cooktop allowed me to place a standard cabinet with a drawer with no modifications.The co cooktop's additional burner is great if you need a very large kettle to straddle two burners to boil water for bottling preserves.We have been using the cooktop for 3 months and had three similar issues with trees bouncing off the power lines creating surges. We have had no issues and are happy with the purchase.

I've had this Cooktop as a daily user for three years now and it works great. Possibly due to my heavy use, the first started experiencing a glitch with the back burner. I contacted the supplier on the day my warranty expired expecting a hassle about my time being up, but instead I got an immediate reply, and 5 days later, on nothing but my description of the malfunction, a replacement unit on my door step. With that, I'm now debating ordering a second unit to expand my kitchen and put it side by side with the original, having two separate cooking surfaces. Great job y'all. Thank you.

This is our second or of these that gets a ton of use up at our cabin. The lock feature is quite annoying, and when I dropped a cast iron Dutch oven on the first one and cracked the glass, I looked for a similar model but without the lock feature, but they all must be required to have it. So I went back to this model since we liked everything else about it. My husband installed it himself, since we’re in a remote location, and thought we’d gotten a defective one, because it was working but would only get lukewarm. But before sending it back, he experimented and discovered he’d switched 2 wires, so be aware if you run into a ‘lukewarm’ issue. So overall we’re pleased, just wish we knew how to disable the lock.

Update 6/25:After a year and 8 months, the second stove had its rightmost upper corner out of service. I contacted the manufacturer, and I got a new replacement stove within a few days.The product manufacturer 5 year warranty is very well. the customer support from Karinear is excellent. The company is not only selling a good product but also standing behind its product. I recommend to buy this Karinear stove.===== End of update =========The item is the second item that I purchased. The first one had a crack in the glass after over one year usage, it is due to my maintenance error (cleaning with cold damp tower while the store surface was hot).Pros:* Nice contemporary looking.* Provide good power for cooking.* Easy to clean. Tips: Using lock funtion before cleaning surface to avoid activating other touch button. Never clean when surface is hot, this can crack the glass surface.Cons:* The provided power is not very strong for extreme hot cooking; howver, it should be enough for the normal cooking.Anyway, my cracked glass stove will be used as a spare part unitIn summary, I am happy with this stove purchase

This will help your electric bill and panel!

We loved this stove top and it worked great until it didn't anymore. In just one night all of a sudden, while cooking on it, it started to smell like something was burning and it shut off and will not turn back on. It only lasted for 5 months!

The stove has the metal edging to reduce possible breaks, it's easy and safe to operate. I had a question for the seller and they were stellar to work with.
