"Excellent product-Excellent service" 2009-09-24
By J. Tallent
This item is exactly what we were looking for in a new cooketop after much searching in stores and the internet.
I ordered the item on a Sunday evening, received an e-mail Monday morning notifying me the item was shipped. The cooktop arrived in perfect condition on the following Wednesday. From Alabama to Kansas in two days is fantastic and then installed in less than an hour.
"Cracked 2 tops" 2009-04-11
By J. Stahlschmidt
I dont know if the glass is thinner than other brands, but I broken 2 of them. The edges are thinner because the are beveled. This is where it started both times. The first one was repaired under warranty. The second one chipped and traveled straight across the unit. Now I have to replace it. I think I will try another brand that does not have the beveled edge.
"Ceramic top cracked due to faulty burner after 4 years" 2009-01-18
By M. D. Mastro (Charleston, SC United States)
My wife noticed that the front left burner began glowing brighter than usual when turned on. A few months afterward, about one hour after dinner had been cooked and the burners shut off, we heard a loud "pop." The center of the left front burner had cracked leaving the entire appliance unusable. It was covered under a 5-year warranty for parts, so we took it to an authorized repairman. We told them the front left element on the unit had to be replaced in addition to the ceramic top. After 7 weeks waiting for the repair, they allegedly fixed it. My wife noted that she still thought the front left burner was glowing too red, but we assumed they replaced it as we instructed. 6 months later, it cracked again. Maybe we just had bad luck with this particularly unit, but for the $474.99 price tag when originally purchased, I would have expected a more quality product. I plan to contact the Electrolux warranty department this week to see what they will do for me, and I'll post a subsequent thread here (as you know, Fridgidaire is now under Electrolux). They should do the right thing and replace the whole defective unit for free... we'll see...
"We love this cooktop!" 2008-08-19
By Deborah Valento (Georgia)
We have owned this cooktop since March of 2002 ... certainly plenty of time to give a valuable review. My husband and I both like it very much. It doesn't have a metal trim around the top edge like many of the ceramic cooktops. All those do is trap grease and filth. This simply has a beveled edge, so nothing to trap food. The knobs easily come off when you want to really clean. The shiny black looks so elegant.
It is not at all hard to clean. Here's the trick. If you have something spill over that is obviously going to stain and make a horrible mess, turn off that burner and move your pot/pan to a different burner. That helps keep it from continously burning in. Then, once cooled, use "Ceramabryte" to clean it. That product is terrific. I buy it either at Lowes or Home Depot. You do not rinse with water after you use it. Just wipe it off real well and you are good to go.
First, I take a damp washcloth and wipe off any large messy foods that got onto the stove from normal cooking messes. I dry it quickly with a soft paper towel (not the cheap scratchy kind). Then I put a little Ceramabryte and spread it around with a paper towel. Then I either let it haze up a little or just start wiping it off, depending on what I'm cleaning up. You can see your paper towel turn very brown from what it is taking off your stove. Even stuff that burned on to the burner comes off! The only time I did not have success in cleaning it was when I was simmering bulk medicinal tea and forgot about it (shame on me!). Several hours later, the smell caught my attention and I scurried downstairs. What a mess on that burner! I worked for a long time putting Ceramabryte and and taking it off. Most of it came off except for one partial circle about 1/2" wide. It was only on the burner -- not on the black part. So, a lesson to me not to forget something (stupid to do anyway) and I just keep a pretty blue teapot on that burner when I'm not using it, just for looks.
We like this stove so much that we are going to buy another soon to put in the next house we are moving to as soon as our current home sells. I'm so delighted that this model is still available.
Do not use steel wool pads or metal scrapers to get this clean. You'll scratch it and won't be happy.
