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 and 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.

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

Love the features

Submitted by Belle Lu - 11/29/2019

I love this cooktop. Past experience with glass cooktops was that it was difficult to manage cooking temperatures. This cooktop cools quickly which makes cooking more successful. And the reversible griddle/grill is awesome.

We moved in a house and have almost the same model; not sure of the model number and year; but the house is 5 years old; I want to know if I can get a new glass top; my son dropped something on it and cracked it all the way across; previous owners did not leave the book; how do I find the model number; I love my stove top!! :(

Hot surface indicator failure

Submitted by Avoid it - 4/14/2019

I've had this cooktop about 5 weeks and the hat surface indicator lamp failed within the first five minutes of use. I got a repairman out the first week to look at it and he said that they would need to order parts and schedule another time when they receive the part. Two appointments later were canceled due to damaged parts and now waiting for another part . I have lost 3 days due to scheduling and it still isn't fixed. I'm not happy with that. Otherwise the cooktop looks and works like you would expect.
