Professional delivery and installation is available for every product we sell. We would be happy to coordinate delivery and installation for you.

Extended warranties are usually very inexpensive and can save you thousands in the future. Some can even cover extra costs that result, such as cost of food that spoils when your fridge dies. It's simple and inexpensive to purchase extended warranties and one of the smartest ways to protect your investment.

Appliances can be large, heavy and expensive. You probably don't have the special tools or expertise needed to fix them in a crisis. If you can spare a few thousand dollars without batting an eyelash for new appliances should they break tomorrow, don't buy a warranty. But if you're like most of us, protect yourself by purchasing inexpensive extended warranties when you buy a new product and save yourself big money in the long run.

Still new to induction

NEW TO INDUCTION 12/3/2019

This range was installed as a r were placement for the range I had which was recalled. I like the look and I am happy with the fact that the burner only works if the correct cookware is on the burner - this is a great safety feature which avoids having a burner heat up if nothing vhf is on it. Cook iij ng with the range is slightly different as the heat is at the bottom of the pot and things can burn more easily if contents are not stirred.

The KitchenAid induction cooktop is better than I imagined it would be. It is so easy to operate and provides much greater cooking precision. I love the timer, locking feature and easy care. I should have bought this appliance sooner!

Terrible. Product malfunctions.

Philly44 9/30/2019

Bought Jan 2019. The product and replacement product has broken 4/5 times. Each time error code F47 on Middle and Right Burners. Numerous customer service calls and repair visits have caused me to miss work. Currently trying to return product and get a refund or exchange for electric burner but Kitchen Aid arent making it easy and seem like they are trying to make it out of the warranty period. Now awaiting another repair that i do not even want even though KA have been told I do not want the product no matter what. Really dissapointed and continue to be.

I had high hopes

Dom00 8/30/2019

I had high hopes and expectations for the new state of the art cooktop I had purchased. It certainly is very nice looking and looks stunning in our new kitchen. However, I was shocked when just 2 weeks after installation 2 of the burners stopped working. I had an error message on it and decided to call Kitchenaid. We had a technician come to the house and in the midst of trying to fix the problem, a 3rd burner stopped working. Replacement parts were ordered and the tech came back and forth another 4 times! I was losing hope for our cooktop which was not cheap! After the 5th service call and umpteen parts later it is now working. Fingers crossed that further problems won't arise as at this point I lost all faith in the brand.

My Favorite New Appliance

Lake Mom 7/14/2019

So many people tried to talk me into a gas during our remodel, but after using our in-laws very expensive, top-of-the-line gas cooktop, I knew it wasn't for me. Everything I disliked about their cooktop, I LOVE about this one: ease of cleaning, precision of heat, speed of cooling. I've had glass top electric ranges before, which I liked, but this is even better. With the low temp to touch, food spills and splatters don't cake/burn/stain like they would with electric. I was somewhat concerned that we'd have to buy very expensive new pots and pans, but the IKEA ones we love work just great! We've used it multiple times daily since it was installed three months ago and it looks like brand-new.

Worst customer service experience and fake rebates

Adorice 5/12/2019

I bought this induction cooktop in February and seller who seemed so nice to me suggested to go with this product because the was a credible rebate on it: 100$ visa carte and 10 pieces induction cookware. I called the number given by the seller to register and claim the offer. I spoke to a customer service representative named Markisha who seemed so nice on the phone and asked to send pictures of the coupons what I did for the 100$ Visa card. The 10 pc cookware offer I should just register my product to receive them. No thing happened and Markisha started to change story after story to justify why I couldn't get any of the rebates. Here is the picture send to Markisha that she claimed invisible! I am now preparing a lawsuit against the company.

Couldn't be happier with this cooktop

Eile 9/18/2018

This cooktop was installed in our home last month and we had used a regular electric cooktop for the previous 4 1/2 months due to an error in ordering and then installing the incorrect product. it's great, water comes to a boil so quickly and doesn't stop when food is placed into the pot. Cleanup is a breeze, always looks shiny, no dull marke left on it due to the convection if some food or water comes into contact with the hot surface.

Not worth spending 2k for a bad induction cooktop

36” induction 4/16/2018

I bought a 36" kitchen aid cooktop from Best Buy in December 2017 for almost 2,000. After 3 months, barely used it...3 out of 5 stove didn't work, showing error code F47.

Nothing but problems

verydisapointed 3/9/2018

I was a contractor for many years and have used KitchenAid products for the last few decades in high end spec homes and my personal homes. This product is a total disaster. It was replaced once when new and now it's been broken for 6 weeks, error codes (F47) which is VERY common. Customer service is awful, we have spend hours and hours on the phone with no resolution even with an extended warranty. Nobody is willing to remove it including the KA authorized repair companies as they say the glass will break. It was installed with the KA sticky tape and will not come out. I would NOT get this again and would look at other brands. Their other products are good but their induction cooktops are awful. I would give it zero stars if I could. No support, many known issues, bad customer service and not standing behind their product.

Best ever cooking

Dave Sundby 2/23/2018

Purchased induction cooktop by KitchenAid six years ago during a major kitchen remodel I saw induction cooking back in the 1970s and was always intrigued. I did extensive research on the use of gas, electric and induction surface cooking. Induction is by far the most efficient, safe and responsive method of cooking. This smooth glass surface is so easy to keep clean and spills are a breeze to clean up. The controls are also bridge to use. I can just tap anywhere along the control and it's selects temperature setting. Or I can slide along the control for the same effect. If I remove the pot I get a signal that the pot has been removed and the burner will turn off. However, when I replace the pot the burner setting is restored. With a glass surface there is the chance of scratching as someone mentioned in a complaint in one of the reviews. I knew through my research that you could cook with a dish towel or paper towel between the burner and the pan. So, I tried that technique this morning as I had done years ago when we first purchased the cooktop while frying eggs and that method worked just fine with no heating of the paper towel. There is one way to reduce the chances of scratching the cooktop. I have but one complaint. When I purchased our induction cookware, there is one 4 1/2" sauce pan that I am unable to use because the smallest burner is 7 inches. I wish there was a remedy for this problem. Aside from this I am completely happy.

Smell of burning wires after five years

ksriii 1/29/2018

We love induction cooking. The 36" cooktop from Kitchenaid has been a good cooktop. As other reviews cover, adjusting the temperature is sometimes difficult especially if your fingers or the top is wet. After 5 years, the cooktop started to smell of burning wires. Repair costs are so expensive, we would be better off replacing it...

A lovely way to cook

KarenB 12/14/2017

We opted for an induction stove for our new home. It is a form of cooking we've never used before and since we've been in the house, I am loving it. This cooktop is beautiful to look at and easy to use and clean. I'm still learning, but the elements are extremely responsive to changes. I am having fun amazing friends with how fast water boils with the Power feature.

36 inch slot a problem..

SoCal Joe 12/13/2017

I purchased a unit to replace our Wolf electric cooktop. The unit fits nicely into the cutout for the Wolf. The installation instructions however require a 3/16 inch slot in the cabinet below the top of the cabinet 36 inches in length. It is not practical to make this slot. The cooktop will sit on a granite counter top above a built in stove. My dilemma is to install it without the slot or return it.

Not the best thing ever

Culbles 12/6/2017

We furnished our new home with all KitchenAid products because we have had good results with our other KitchenAid products. However, our new 36" induction cook top has failed to live up to expectations. It is now four months old and has had several malfunctions but has been usable. Service has been a problem. Also, we planned on using the Bridge function which now we can not use because no one makes a grill/griddle for the induction top. We can find cast iron grill/griddles but they are heavy and course and will scratch the glass top so we will not use them. One reviewer stated that the induction will boil water fast. Well try to boil two pans of water and the cook top may quit on you. Disappointed with cook top, accessories and service.

RonM 11/30/2017

Good design, easy to use, and boils water incredibly fast. It's also easy to clean. Only issue was some internals that needed to be fixed after installation, which should have been handled at the factory.

Scratches

Bens 10/31/2017

Extremely disappointed. This unit surface scratches just by using it. The glass surface does not appear to be manufactured correctly. Called KitchenAid and they are not willing to do anything. How can a cook top that comes in direct contact with pots scratch so easily? I'm using brand new Al-clad pots. Pots are made of recommended material in KitchenAid's Use & Care guide.

I should of tested it out first

Norrisfam 10/10/2017

We have been using this cooktop for about four months now and I wish I would of tested it out first before spending the money. My kids won't use it, I seem to burn everything on it and I'm a great cook. It also makes a loud buzzing and clicking sounds that drive us crazy. It also has an annoying beeping sound when you remove a pan and turn it off. It's hard to keep clean.

Induction is the Best!

Tom and Nancy 10/5/2017

We have KitchenAid Induction in both of our homes. My wife will not go back to gas. We will be purchasing a home with a high-end gas "commercial" cooktop. Before moving in, we will be replacing the gas unit with a 36" induction from KitchenAid. If someone justs reads the instructions, they will know that the cookware is critical for effective performance!

A Real Time Saver!

9/8/2017

I bought this about a month ago to replace the electric top. More than anything else, the time savings to prepare dinner is awesome. It look great, easy to clean and performs great. My only negative is that I don't like the temperature adjustment for ease of use. I don't care for holding my finger and dragging the digital slide bar. I would have preferred a "touch/tap" style better...think it would be easier and more exacting.

I Do Not Love the Clicking

8/30/2017

Not in love with the constant clicking and magnetic wave sounds. i would have totally preferred a gas stove over the new next big deal stuff. I bought KitchenAid pots and pans with hopes that the clicking would stop... it didn't. Kind of my only disappointment in the new kitchen.

Awesome Cooktop!

8/15/2017

This cooktop is awesome! Easy to use and works as it is advertised. Boils water in less than 1 minute. Induction is definitely the way to go! It doesn't cool down quite as fast as I had expected but none the less it cools down way faster than a regular cooktop.

Who needs gas?

8/2/2017

We are unable to have gas connected to our home so we replaced our electric cooktop with the Kitchenaid 36" induction cooktop. The elements heat up REALLY quickly and cook evenly. There had been some feedback from others that there was a lot of "clicking" underneath the pans, and there is some, but it is very minor and not an issue. Cooks like a champ and cleans up easily. Can't have gas? Who needs it.

very clean and sleek looking

This appliance is a god send for our house. My wife and I are adjusting to this time saving device and enjoying using it. For me it is fun to cook and experiment with new recipes again.

Disappointed

7/19/2017

Not happy with this product. From day one it hasn't performed as I was expecting. When cooking, unless the burner is set to over 6 it will not produce consistent heat instead it pulses off an on causing it to take longer to cook. So cooking consistently at a low temperature is not possible. The more burners I use the worse it is. I called customer service thinking it was maybe hooked up wrong or the power was not correct. However they came out and told me that because a cast iron skillet worked it was a problem with my pans. The Caphalon pans I purchased specifically for the cooktop and were some of their top of the line pans. So I contacted Caphalon about the pans and they had not had any issues and asked me to send them in to determine if they were defective and they were not. I also took my pans to a neighbors and tried my pans on their jenn-air induction cooktop and the pans worked like a dream. So after a complete remodel I am stuck with a cooktop I hate. Left more than disappointed. On one positive note I also purchased a Kitchenaid refrigerator and dishwasher that I have been very pleased with.

Scratches

7/11/2017

Extremely disappointed. This unit surface scratches just by using it. The glass surface does not appear to be manufactured correctly. Called KitchenAid and they are not willing to do anything. How can a cook top that comes in direct contact with pots scratch so easily? I'm using brand new Al-clad pots.

Takes some getting used to induction cooking

7/2/2017

After determining which of my pans were compatible with induction cooking, I found it somewhat easy to use. The heat control is near instantaneous. Coming from a gas stove, that's what I was looking for.

Great stove

6/9/2017

A great stove. Our first induction unit, so it takes a bit to get used to cooking differently. But have been pleasantly surprised by how well it works. Wish we had bought this year's ago.

Easy to cook on and I am enjoying the no mess feature by being able to cook on top of paper towels.

Most Responsive

6/8/2017

Very responsive to heat levels. Instant adjustment. After a short learning curve you will think you have a gas burner under your control.

I love my induction cooktop. It works as expected and the noise it makes is something I got used to very quickly.
