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.

Product is Poor Quality

Black Electric Stove Top 5/25/2026

We previously owned a cream electric Whirlpool stove top for over 20 years, and it was excellent; we only had to replace it when it cracked. Unfortunately, this new black stove top has been a disappointment from the installation. Despite cleaning it after each use, I cannot achieve 100% stain removal. We have been using this stove top for a year now and have tried various hob cleaners, but the issue persists. I am very disappointed with the quality; it is nothing like our first Electric Whirlpool stove top. We have always been satisfied with Whirlpool products; for instance, we have a Side-by-Side refrigerator and a built-in microwave, both of which we love.

Khazz 2/28/2026

It is incredibly hard to keep spotless. Although, it is visually appealing, when stirring the content of a pot, the pot often slides off the eating surface. It's beautiful, but challenging to maintain.

Great cooktop

RRW* 2/17/2026

This cooktop came with the house I had built. The previous house I lived in, also came with a Whirlpool cooktop, but had stainless handles instead of black. I appreciate the black handles because they don't show fingerprints as much. My previous cooktop had two sizes of heating elements on the back burners. This one only has duel heating on one burner, so I do miss that. All in all, I'm happy with the cooktop.

Nice, but it could be better

StacyS 1/4/2026

Nice cooktop; however, it makes no sense as to why the big pot eyes are in the back. Generally, when cooking in a big pot, you want it closer to you. Also don™€™t like how easily it scratches!

Not very impressed

Sunny 10/24/2025

I bought this cooktop on September 24,2025and am not really impressed. The surface is not smooth and spills really are difficult to clean as a result. The heat calibration could be better. When it is on low it still cooks very hot.

Cheap ceramic glass and bad design.

Lindy 10/13/2025

It works well enough but the design is defective and flawed. It already chipped in two places. It should be designed with a metal rim. Save your money or only install it recessed.

Poorly Engineered Cooktop

Sam 25 8/31/2025

I had a choice of 2 cook tops that would fit in my granite cutout. I wished I had chosen the other. In all my 40+ years of cooktops, I™€™ve never seen one that didn™€™t have the dual heat unit or at least one large unit at the front. It is very difficult to prepare the food in a large fry pan or pot when having to mix, turn or toss the ingredients at the back near backsplash. Likewise, I agree with the other reviewers regarding the white streaks on the ceramic, as well as the difficulty of cleaning it. I™€™ve only had it for a month and it looks like it™€™s 10+ years old.

This cooktop is tops!

Apb530 8/24/2025

My old Cooktop was about 20 years old so it was time for an update and whirlpool gave me just the one I needed! It cooks evenly, almost like a gas range. I™€™m quite impressed with the cooktop and wish I had gotten it a lot sooner! Technology has come along way since I bought my old one and I™€™m so happy now that I have my new one! I also got it because I wanted to update my kitchen before we put our house on the market. I won™€™t be taking it with me but when I buy my new house, I know what kind of cooktop want!

Solid but imperfect

Dave R. 4/9/2025

Still getting to know the nuances of this cooktop, one of which is the fact that you really have to monitor and regulate your heat to prevent overcooking. It's also important to clean up any spills promptly as it can burn in and stain rather easily. Finally, I also wish one of the two larger burners were in the front position; it is necessary to reach back to the rear of the unit to access both of those.

Rethink the knobs on top spacing, fellas.

N/A? 3/25/2025

This item was part of an appliance package already installed in a newly purchased house. I was familiar with whirlpool glass top ovens however but never one with knobs at the top. My only complaint is that they are very close together and somewhat difficult to clean.

It's...Ok

FraserFamily 3/25/2025

The cook top came with the house and while it does look beautiful and cook pretty decent, cleaning this thing is bad enough to make me look in to getting another kind...I'm not sure of the thought process behind making everything but the burners textured but things get stuck in the grooves and are impossible to clean off. Everything I use on it leaves dust and particles behind (paper towel, microfiber towel, dish towel, clorox wipe, etc) and I can't ever get it completely clean and shiny. I will more than likely be getting rid of this in the next year or so because my kitchen always looks dirty now :(

Beautiful but it does scratch a little too easily.

EdiSec 3/24/2025

This cooktop replaced a 27 year old Whirlpool cooktop. I'm a little disappointed in the quality of the glass in the new one. One of the small burners has a 2" scratch and it's only a month old. I love the cooktop but be aware it seems to scratch easily. If you see what looks like a big half circle " scratch" on the right rear burner... It's to show the outline of the small inside burner. All in all, it's a beautiful top. It's our second Whirlpool glass top cook surface. The last one held up over 27 years!

Not a good design and gets dirty

Venki 1/16/2025

It is not a good design, large burners are on the back and hard to use. You need to lean over. Other big problem, just by using it, it gets dirty. Big white marks around the burner. We only been using for 15 days but it looks like cooktop is 2 years old. Easily gets marks just by putting any pan and use it for 10mins.

The large dual element runs either very hot or cold. I cannot use it to simmer, so I use the element on the left. Tried contacting Pulte Whirlpool Homeowner @ 800 422 1230 for this and our oven. Even though I have registered all 6 appliances it does not recognize my phone number, so I cannot get through. Not able to talk to anyone. They are all registered under 6502074239. Pulte Customer Service has tried emailing.

Mostly satisfied 10/21/2024

We bought into a new development, the builder equipped the kitchen with Whirlpool appliances. This remark is specific to the cooktop. The cooktop is fine, it meets expectations except for the control dials. They are black against a black background and the line showing the heat setting for the burners is almost invisible. Whirlpool could easily have provided a white or red line to provide contrast to make the heat setting easily visible. This would greatly enhance kitchen safety.

Quick heating, not easy cleaning

Dishy 10/12/2024

This Cooktop came with the new house. It operates properly but a few things could be better; 1. eliminate the knobs and go with electronic panel that keeps the cooktop easy to clean; 2. delineate the heating area better so when a pan is in place you can more easily see where it should be.

Good features, beautiful look, works well

Sheikh 9/25/2024

This was a builder installed unit in my new home. Previously used gas so there has been a bit of a learning curve for me as far as how well it works. That said, it works well, heats up quickly once you use the right settings. Just sensitive to the fact that I am now dealing with a glass top versus cast iron so have to be really careful to avoid scratches or hits. Also need to clean more often than for other types of stoves as stuff can get burnt on really quickly. So far, so good, it works well

Electric cooktop bubbles

Darb 7/24/2024

I built my own home and was excited to install the 36inch Electric cooktop. The design and finish is beautiful and works well. My biggest concern is the first time I used the double burner, bubbles are visible under the glass cooktop. I referenced the manual and purchased the appropriate cleaning product. But the bubbles under the glass remain unfortunately. This is the only burner on the top that appears to have this flaw. I am not sure if it is normal for the double burner, but very visually unappealing

bonz1957 3/29/2024

If you love to cook, it's a poor design. Both large burners are in the back, so you have to work around what's warming on the front. It came with the new house, so we're stuck with it. Would love to trade it in for another Whirlpool design with the large burners in the front and dials on the side.

Stay away! Known cosmic issue with this model

Christian 2/23/2024

Extremely disappointed with this product. After the first use the cooktop air bubbles appeared on the cooktop. Cleaning products won't remove them and because it's past 30 days Whirlpool won't fix it. Whirlpool sent a technician and he said it was a known cosmic issue and whirlpool would not cover it. If this is a know issue why hasn't this been recalled? Disappointed in Whirlpool. I did not have this issue with a previous electric cooktop from a different company.
