VERY POOR QUALITY
Have not even used this for a year and a half, heard a pop noise and would not work again. Replaced fuse and popped again and sparks under glass top. Called whirlpool and was told warranty expires after 1 year and could not assist. There are other reviews with same issue and no assistance given. Also there is a recall on these for burners turning on by themselves but of course my serial number is not included in listing so too bad for me. My advise is to look at different brands and better customer service

Major disappointment
We bought our induction cooktop last March 2016. Although we purchased it a year and a half ago, due to the duration of our kitchen remodel we had not started using it until last September 2016. One year and one month later, IT DOES NOT WORK!! I am so disappointed in this product. It worked beautifully for exactly one year and now nothing. It shut off suddenly one evening while I was cooking and has not worked since. There were no signs of anything wrong, it worked one second and shut off the next. The repairman came and got it to work for 3 more seconds with a new fuse and then it shut off again. We ordered a new module/ motherboard and had that installed and it still doesn't work. I don't recommend this product, we spent $1400 dollars on a cooktop and got only 1 year use out of it. All of the reviews I read were positive, so I thought it was a smart decision at the time of purchase. We should not have to buy a new cooktop every year. I think we can expect a lot more from a brand name like Whirlpool.

Complete Garbage!!! Works for one week at a time
So I got this thing. Installed it, worked great for a week. Stopped working, waited a week for service from whirlpool, only for tech to come out and tell me they can’t fix as they don’t carry parts. Waited another 9 days for part to arrive. Than another 3 for a service schedule. Tech replaced fuses and it worked. Well here we are !!! A week later and 3 uses later!!! Does not work again!!! So we are now going over a month without a working unit!!! And it’s after hours so we can’t get a hold of anyone. Completely garbage and unexceptional . I’m glad to see I’m not the only one dealing with this garbage.

Think Twice
Was all set for a gas top and the salesman talks my wife into an induction cook top. Looked cool and worked good, for six months and now it is toast. The power module failed and they are back ordered for three to four weeks. Now we are cooking on a Coleman stove in a new kitchen remodel. You decide, is it worth it? For me, no. Big mistake that will not be repeated in future purchases.

Very nice cooktop
We purchased this cooktop to replace our old radiant top. We were skeptical about going to an induction cooktop but couldn't be more pleased after using it for a few months. We had to resurrect our stainless steel magnetic pan set which we had given up on because of cleaning difficulty. This cooktop is very, very fast. The burner areas do not get hot enough to burn the skin. The stainless steel pans do not scorch the way they used to. We love the cooktop.

It's stooped working in less than 2 months!
We bought this as a part of the kitchen remodel and have barely used it for 2 months. It stopped working last night, while I was cooking. And now, I can't cook and have to eat out again!! :(

The Whirlpool Induction cooktop RUN AWAY!
We bought a Whirlpool oven with cooktop about 2 years ago. This has been the most abnoxious setup ever. I suspect they test this thing for maybe 10 minutes before saying.. great ship it.

Happy with our Whirlpool Gold 30" Electric Indiction Cooktop
We are overall pretty happy with our induction cooktop. We like the even heating and ability to control the temperature. Some issues with induction cookware working on front burners and not the back not sure if that is cooktop or cookware. Super easy to clean since nothing burns on cooking surface. Wish the finish wasnt so shiny. Shows every finger print. Controls in front is a nice feature but I have found its easy to lean over and turn them off by accident. Compared to the regular glass cooktop we replaced I would buy induction again.

I LOVE Induction Cooking!
I bought and installed my new Whirlpool induction cooktop April 1, 2015. I decided to start with a simple meal, cheeseburgers and fries. I unpacked and washed my new induction-ready cookware and got started. Being new to induction cooking, I fried the patties on 4 (too low in retrospect, which is a good thing), then put the peanut oil in the pan for the fries, set the cooktop at 9 with power boost. In about 30 seconds I dropped a small piece of potato in the oil and what do you know? It was already at frying temperature! In less than seven minutes I had crisp, golden French Fries! My caution with the patties caused them to take a bit longer, but the meal was great, and much time and energy was saved thanks to my new induction cooktop. I am a believer!
