The cooktop burners give a complete range of temperatures, from very high for wok cooking to a very low simmer. Nor does the flame go out when it is turned down low. It is easy to take apart and keep clean, so that there should be no problems so long as spills are cleaned up promptly. The controls are easy to use and in a convenient location. Parents of young children may like that they are not at the front. The lighting on the controls makes it clear whether a burner is on and which one it is. Very good value for money.
