The power burner, three elements for three size pans, has never worked properly, the stove was replaced once the element replaced twice. Center element of the three gets extreamly hot while middle does not get hot at all. This causes burning of food at center and in some cases warping of the pan. This is a smooth top stove.

So buyer beware if when something does not work but that is normal for the product you must live with it. They simply don't care. read full review »
