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

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. 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.

Buyer Beware

Disappointed. 9/12/2019

I have had the Stainless Steel version of this cooktop for 18 months. The cooktop works just fine, and we eventually figured out how to clean it (a certain soap, then wipe clean with a microfiber cloth). We're giving our cooktop just 2 stars because the black paint on the metal grate chips/peels off, making the cooktop look terrible. I called KA, and they told me that since it was a cosmetic issue, I would have to pay about $81 for a replacement part. Buying a new replacement part every 18 months is not sustainable. I had purchased a 5 year warranty from a local appliance dealer, hoping they would replace the part, but no luck there either. This has been disappointing, and after owning KA appliances for over 20 years, I feel abandoned. I bought 4 new appliances 18 months ago during a kitchen remodel, and it became clear to me that manufacturers now think of appliances as lasting about 8 years. In the past I have bought KA appliances because I want something that will last and be supported by a good company. Sadly, this is no longer true.

Marianne53 6/6/2019

After years of using a Jennair electric cooktop with old fashioned electric coil burners, we purchased the KitchenAid 30" downdraft ceramic cooktop with four elements. Easy to use and it heats up so quickly. Clean-up is a breeze with Affresh wipes.

Ulsterwoman 6/3/2019

I bought this downdraft because I had a gas cooktop by Kitchen Aid in my previous home. I like Kitchen Aid appliances. It's a great improvement over the downdraft I had before.

What a disappointment!

Shellyk12 6/2/2019

I just had my stovetop installed less than a month ago. It looked so beautiful in my new kitchen. I used it twice and it already is scratched! I am beyond disappointed and dissatisfied! This shouldn't have happened after 2 uses! Not with a respected brand like KitchenAid. And certainly not after having spent so much money on it! So sad.

It will take some getting used to. I have burned so many things, having it set on low. I don't understand why the burners are are so hot. I have never had a glass top, so I think after a while I will figure it out. It's very different from cooking on coils.

Scratches very easily with normal use

goldcds 12/14/2018

After only a few uses, the top is scratched up. I had a previous cooktop for 20 years and never got scratched. How can they put out a product that scratches so easily. What a horrible product.

bad warranty

joseb 8/21/2018

Knobs bases took off and cooktop ceramic glass is burned by inside, no voice or writing diagnosis at all, just the service company is going to change the knobs. I bought this product based on the quality that they say have, changing my old Jenn-Air for the Kitchen Aid, but I see it was a mistake. Looks like a poor quality cooktop I wish I could change it for other brand

Liz11 6/20/2018

I just bought this cook top to add to my kitchen renovation. I am completely disgusted and upset with this product!! The FIRST time I used it I put a pan on to steam vegetables. When I removed the pot there were SCRATCHES on my beautiful new cook top!! When I called KichenAid I was told that I could only use completely flat-bottomed cookware! Where does it say that in the description of your product? All of my pans have ridges (like a phonograph record) which is the way all pots/pans are these days. So I went out the next day and purchased a FLAT BOTTOMED fry pan. Following the "seasoning instructions" I rubbed the pan with cooking oil, put it on medium until it smoked, and then removed it. Imagine my upset upon seeing baked on spots on my new cook top!! I have used all the approved cleaners (both cream and spray) and the spots still remain. What with this cook top look like in a week or a month, or longer? Why on earth would you sell a product that can't be used under normal situations? Needless to say, I am VERY UPSET with this product, and I certainly would NOT recommend it to anyone!!!

Not impressed

Island girl 12/30/2017

Bought this product as our jenn air needed to be replaced in our home. Had it only a week and can't believe how easy it scratches. We have had other ceramic flat tops and never had this issue. We are very gentle on our appliances and buy top quality. I was very upset that with our limited options for down draft flat top that kitchenaid quality is not up to pair with Jenn air. If we weren't remodelling our kitchen in two years I would have never purchased this product but would have bought anther brand.

Alan jay 12/26/2017

I have had my cooktop for 3 years. I have had 2 services done on it. My stovetop must be a lemon. The last service they had to replace 2 elements and between the service call and the element replacement labor and the electric plugs that weren't covered, I had a cost was $800 and the elements were covered by Kitchenaid. This price was not acceptable to us! We only had our unit for only 3 years I feel cheated and upset!

Heats quickly

9/10/2017

This cooktop looks really nice and sleek. Mine has a defect and has to be replaced as bubbles appeared beneath the glass on one of the burners. The downdraft fan works very well and isnt too noisy. Only downside is that it takes a while to cool down and despite a red light indicating the surface is hot, you have to remember not to touchit or set anything on it. It does require fesidious cleaning to keep it sleek looking.

I bought this cooktop a month ago, not knowing what a fantastic model is is! I just needed to replace my old one and picked this Kitchenaid because it fit the opening in my granite countertop. Please know that I was never that into cooking; however, this cooktop is awesome! I have actually enjoyed preparing meals! Cooks & cleans up like a dream! I love the added features (melt, and burners that adjust to the pan size),
