Recommend your cooktops (electric)

[lb2006]

We're researching electric cooktops for our kitchen remodel & I'd love to hear what others have used before or currently use.

I also am interested if anyone uses down draft ventilation - & if so, what do you think!

Thanks!

Personally, I'd look into an induction cooktop. You can get one at Ikea for ~$1k.

Yes, should've added - we're going w/induction

In that case, I'd go with the Ikea one unless your kitchen is super-high-end. Everyone I've talked to with one is reasonably impressed with the quality.

not super high end - fanciest appliance is GE double-oven we bought over Thanksgiving weekend, saved over $1k on them!

We have a Maytag Induction that is awesome. We got it from Home Depot on black Friday. It boils water in about 60-90 seconds and have a convection oven with a warming drawer as well. It is the Maytag Aqualift 6.2 cu ft. The oven is spacious and it is very easy to keep clean with having the smooth cooktop.
