Whirlpool - 30" Built-In Electric Cooktop - Black

What are those things in the middle of each eye in my new stove top? I know they really cause problems. I bought new cookware to use and the fry pans will not sit flat on the eyes. I purchased Calphalon so it’s not because I purchased cheap pans the have no weight. I see no purpose for these things and the owners manual doesn’t even mention them. The stovetop cooks well if you can stabilize the pans on the coils. All of the coils heat on my unit unlike some of the other reviews I read. I wish I hadn’t had to replace my other unit but the eyes that I used most kept burning out.

I've used both electric coil and electric smooth top cooktops each for over 10 years. The biggest advantage of the smooth tops: they are easy to clean and they often have better safety features. The electric coils are better for just about everything else. They heat up faster. With this it took me just over 4 minutes to boil a pot of water; with two different smooth tops each with higher wattage ratings it took me over 6 minutes to boil a pot of water. We found it so much easier to cook when we replaced a smooth top with this. They are easier to maintain. If a burner fails I can replace it within minutes with a part costing less than $40; if a burner on a smooth top fails I need to remove the whole unit, open it up, replace the burner costing $40 to $100, then replace the foam tape which costs at least $40. I am replacing smooth top that cracked because a bottle of oil fell over and cracked the top. The cost to replace just the broken glass would have been more expensive than this simple cooktop. I'm rating this 4 stars not 5 because one of the burners flared out the first time I turned it on high. I'm replacing it with the same model. Oh, yeah, the smooth tops look pretty. If you want to have a fancy looking kitchen to impress your guests you can't use electric coils.

The cooktop is still working even though we purchased it more than 2 years ago. The enamel finish still looks like new.

This is the WORST stove top around. Unit installed in March 2021, with in a week there are surface stains on the stove top that will not come off, the finish looks terrible. In the small print in the manual it states that a stain may occur if a splash of acid from tomatoes gets on surface, plus other spills. OMG this is a stove top there will be a splash of something. DO NOT PURCHASE THIS STOVE TOP !!! The burners heat up very slow and once you finally get water to boil... unit shuts the temperature down. Nothing like taking 35 minutes to boil water. DO NOT PURCHASE THIS UNIT!!!! I am very unhappy and will be looking for a better quality cook top!!

We needed an inexpensive electric cooktop to install in my mother-in-law's house that we will be renting. This Whirlpool was perfect, attractive and it works good. My brother-in-law installed it, which was very easy to do. Best Buy had the cheapest price in the area.

great model, bigger than the older verison so we had to cut the countertop. Electrical connections were easy

Everything was excellent. The price was well below other stores. Very easy to order on line and great communication setting up the delivery. Received it on schedule. The cook top is great. Went back to the electric cook top from a ceramic. Too much to clean and care for. This cooktop fits us perfectly. Happy wife happy life.

I am very impressed with my Whirlpool coktop. It works perfectly and it is super simple to use.

Bought this for my neice to replace a glass cooktop that was cracked. It was super easy to install, and she just loves it.
