Whirlpool : RCC3024RB 30 Smoothtop (Ceramic Glass) Electric Cooktop - Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have no experience using this cooktop. However, I just installed it. (Actually, I installed its sister, but with stainless trim on the sides.)
There are two gigantic issues:
1) Watch the dimensions of the cooktop very closely. I mis-measured my existing cut-out or mis-read the Whirlpool literature and ended up having to cut my Corian countertop (do-able, but very difficult, messy, and time-consuming).
2) THIS COOKTOP HAS ALUMINUM WIRING!!! I find that absolutely astonishing! I'm a real diy-er; I've completely re-done the electrical in our house in Houston, TX. However, I have have no experience connecting aluminum to copper. I know it's messy and easy to screw up. Thus, I get to call an electrician to do this for me. I find it inconceivable that Whirlpool would have aluminum wiring on this unit. I would triple-check before I buy this or any of their other units.

GE Profile CleanDesign : PP945BMBB 30 Smoothtop Electric Cooktop - Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Sleek design, decent heat conduction -- but every time I use the cooktop more pits and scratches appear, even with very careful use and appropriate cookware. I've only had it a couple of weeks. I can't imagine how bad it will look in a couple of years. I almost wish I would have just gotten a new electric coil unit. At least then I could focus on cooking and not whether or not I am scratching the surface of the cooktop. If you have to have electric, this is a good one -- but be prepared to use a special cleaner and scrub pad, and accept that scratches are going to occur no matter what you do. If you can do gas... that would be my recommendation.

Maytag MEC5536BAS 36" Smoothtop Electric Cooktop with 5 Insta-Heat Radiant Elements, Hot Surface Indicator Lights and Glass-Ceramic Surface: Stainless Steel Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This cooktop is a piece of junk. Maytag is aware that the control knobs are faulty, so they replace them for free, but in less than 3 years I've had to replace them 8 times!! The cooktop itself has cracked twice. The first time it was covered under the manufacturer's warrAnty. The Maytag repairman sold me an extended warranty "in case the cooktop cracks again." Now it has cracked again, and the extended warranty people won't come out to even look at it because I didn't report the claim as a "thermal crack." I made the mistake of being honest and telling them I didn't know (either time) how it cracked. Maytag has refused to be of any assistance, saying that it is no longer their problem since I'm under an extended warranty (even though it was their repairman that misled me about the breakage coverage when he sold it to me.) AVOID PURCHASING THIS COOKTOP.
