I bought this Cooktop a year ago and I can't fault it. The layout is perfect. You can actually fit two large pans side by side directly over the flame on a hob that is pretty compact. Brilliant!!! It's easy to clean and has nice smooth transitions so there is no corners for stuff to build up and bake in. The only drawback is the burners can be a bit tricky to fit after cleaning with the igniter and thermovalve cut-outs. Would take this with me when we sell the house.
