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.

Wonderful

Happy Chuck 7/24/2026

This was my first time using induction although I already had the correct cookware. I was using an older Jenn Air electric cooktop but wanted the speed and convenience of gas without the health risks and high cost. The Kitchen Aid is wonderful. It has taken me a while getting used to the speed, since you can't put a pot of water on to boil then do something else for 10 minutes while it boils. So, I have to arrange the meal sequence to fit the cooktop speed. The food cooks beautifully, the clean-up is a breeze especially with the exhaust screen going in the dishwasher, and the burner is only warm to the touch afterwards. It is very quiet except for the exhaust fan, and that is automatic but can be turned off or down. The exhaust fan is the strongest one I have ever worked with. No scratches so far and we both love the no knobs and no rim look. I did have a 3.5-inch steel bottom saucepan that the cooktop would not consistently recognize, but I had larger ones I could use.

Very nice

CherieC 4/12/2026

The features are top notch for this cook top. It was installed in my mother™™s house and I couldn™™t get any updated picture at the moment. Me and my husband set it up for her and it wasn™™t very hard to do like I thought it would. It is extremely nice for the price.

These are very stylish and very functional. They are absolutely fast to cook on. The heat control is very accurate and easy to use. Very safe since it™™s not actually fire or flame. I absolutely love this a lot

Good idea, poor execution

Brett71 11/16/2025

We bought this cooktop after hearing great things about induction. Our prior cooktop was also a Kitchenaid, but was a standard electric model. Induction does work great and heats quickly and evenly. Our issue is with the general quality of this product, especially given the price. Within two days of installation the cooktop is scratched from normal use; we didn't have issues like this with our last cooktop. The quality of the ceramic is poor and I'm concerned that within a year it's going to look terrible. The user interface is also poorly designed. The touch interface doesn't come close to the ease of use of modern technology. When you touch it doesn't always register, and the layout is not great. My wife and I both work in tech and expect better for such. high priced appliance (I work in software engineering, she's on the design side). This cooktop has ensured that our next stove will be gas with knobs and not Kitcheaid.
