The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other kitchen ranges, cooktops, wall ovens, range hoods and microwaves we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
Five radiant burners spread across a 36-inch black glass surface give you room to run several pots simultaneously. Total wattage is 9000W across all elements combined, and the unit requires a 240V dedicated circuit, standard for a built-in drop-in electric cooktop this size.
At $270 this lands well below most 36-inch electrics from major brands, which often start near $500. The trade-off is a newer, less-reviewed product from a smaller brand. The dimensions are 20.47 x 35.43 x 2.95 inches, a slim 2.95-inch depth that works with most standard countertop cutouts.
Installation is built-in drop-in. No gas line is needed, and there are no open burners to clean around, a practical advantage for busy kitchens.
