Has a high end look
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I finally gave in and replaced my old cooktop. Since my old cooktop had a downdraft vent, my choices were more limited. This cooktop is really nice! The five burners is an upgrade for me from four. Even though the granite counter had to be cut slightly to accommodate the size, it was well worth it. The cooktop is very easy to clean. And the vent cavity is large enough to be able to easily clean. Another nice feature is the solid knobs which have a very high quality feel. The smallest burner has an interchangeable part to allow low heating of chocolate sauce dr similar ingredients which are easy to burn.

Kichenaid 36" Gas Cooktop w/downdraft
I searched for a cooktop with a built-in downdraft system for months. Of all the cooktops I reasearched this particular KitchenAid was declared the best by many industry experts. After installing it and using it for a month, I can affirm the claims. It's functional, extremely well designed and built, and most importantly the downdraft system is amazing. It pulls the steam vapor and odors out of the kitchen really well. I'm very pleased!!

Professional look and performance.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We purchased the cooktop as part of a comprehensive kitchen renovation. We were limited in choices as we were replacing a downdraft electric cooktop. After shopping for a while, we felt the Kitchenaid represented the best bang for the buck. Since installation, we couldn’t be more pleased. The product looks and performs great. We really like the multi speed downdraft fan, the varied size of the burners and the contiguous grates to accommodate larger cooking vessels. The only minor issue was the fan worked almost too good. On the smaller burners, we have to wait until lit before turning the fan on as it can interfere with the lighting of the burner.

Perfect Addition for Our Recent Kitchen Remodel
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We are replacing the original cook top in our kitchen (which was a 4 burner electric Jenn Air) due to a recent kitchen renovation. Because of the reno, we selected this 5 burner downdraft which also meant changing from electric to gas as the original 4 burner was electric. We LOVE our new gas cook top. The downdraft has 3 speeds which is so nice having the selection of different speeds. There was very little transition from changing from electric to gas cooking. Cooking is fun again. Very happy with our purchase. Cleanup is easy and cook top works great. We did lots of research before making our selection and this is better than we anticipated. It's a win-win for us on this cooktop.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The unit works just as suggested, the 5th burner (oversized) is great for large pots and it's been used multiple times since our purchase. The only issue we have with the cooktop is the lack of a good solution for cleaning the surface. An SOS pad was needed to remove some stain from a burn (near the burner itself) so not really visible, however we are aware that this is not the recommended solution. We'll overflow a pot at some point and while we'll get after the cleaning process quickly I'm still anticipating some staining that we'll not be able to remove without a more stringent solution.

Everything I was looking for
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We installed this cooktop as part of a kitchen remodel at a cabin we use on weekends and holidays. The combination of burner sizes and self-contained downdraft vent was perfect for the island where the old electric range and electric Jenn Air units used to sit (we did a separate oven/microwave unit in a wall cabinet elsewhere in the new cabinet layout). Whether we're grilling a meal or firing up a wok, we've got everything we need in this single unit.

36” KitchenAid Downdraft cooktop
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We purchased the 36” KitchenAid downdraft cooktop about one month ago. We love it and it’s very professional. We love the solid grates and the varied burner btu ratings from 5,000 btu’s up to 17,500 btu’s. It’s beautiful and Abt did a great job on the installation. The downdraft fan works great, is quiet, and doesn’t allow a draft to come through when not using it. This cool top is major league!

Already broken
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought our down draft cooktop 6 months ago. It is beautiful however, one of the burners is already broken. We are inconvenienced with having to pull out a lighter / match every time we want to light one of the burners.
We also travel a lot for work. So setting up an apt to fix it seems near impossible with the covid pandemic going on.
We have our fingers crossed we can fix it before the warranty expires.
Not a 100% satisfied customer cooking on a beautiful broken range.
