Empava 36-Inch Built-In Gas Cooktop, 5 SABAF Burners, NG LPG Stainless

I use this with a propane tank. I bought the converter from the local hardware store. Works great outdoors.

Nice looking cook top, but only 3of the 5 burners work,large center burner gets gas but won’t light. The small one on the top right gas will not flow to it so it won’t light also no matter which burner knob I turn on all the igniters spark at same time. Not sure but I think they should come on individually .

This stove top me our needs perfectly, and for the price it cannot be beat. We used it to replace an old GE stove top which was 60 years old. It fit the original opening perfectly, so I simply set it in place. It works really well, with a nice wide temperature range; it boils water quickly and simmers perfectly. I am sure we could have spent more, but I am not sure it would perform any better.

It is getting increasingly difficult to find a electric cooktop that is not a smooth top unit. My ancient cooktop quit working, so I bought and installed this one which my wife likes much better than the old one. We haven't noticed any more heat around the coil areas than the old unit had; yes, within an inch or two of the coil it is very hot, but I think that is to be expected. We haven't noticed any undue flexing of the unit. The knobs give a much wider range than our old stove that had pushbuttons, so can control the heat much better. It cleans up easy enough. Installation was pretty straight forward, other than some retrofitting that I had to do as the old unit was some odd size a little larger than this--not the fault of this unit. I imagine that someone halfway handy with tools and knowledgeable enough on electrical wiring could replace an existing cooktop in one to two hours. I think I did our install in about four hours and that was with making the counter hole smaller so the unit wouldn't fall through and a trip to the hardware store to get some wire nuts.

I expected more from GE. Several QC issues caused the terrible review for this. The shipping tape used stuck and left a terrible yellow residue stain in multiple areas of the cooktop. We were able to get it clean with lots of elbow grease and a product called Goo Gone, but really? One of the burner connectors was malformed causing it to not stay in the housing. The black basin has a terrible spray coating causing it to crack, flake and chip when installed creating a mess. Possible that we might have just had bad luck, but won't be buying GE for awhile because of it :/

Appealing product, easy to install, but after a year it shorted out.

The cooktop came from a participant with Amazon. Delivery was prompt and as advertised. Installation by electrician was routine with no problems and at reasonable charge ($80). All the burners cook very well and the controls are accuratea and easy to adjust. I would rate the performance as 5 of 5 stars and the stainless steel cooktop as 3 of 5 stars. Its not exactly stainless and easy to keep good looking, but it is highly functional. Overall satisfaction very good.

This is a sturdy product that looks good, and performs as expected. It was installed easily, two of us did it in about 45 minutes with no problems. We have had it now for over a year. Do read the instructions on how to take out the coils etc for cleaning. If you don't take them out correctly, you will bend them, which is why some people say the coils slant or are unstable. I had no idea how to remove them before I read the instructions. I have had no problems at all with unstable coils, so do read the instructions about that.
