Pros: Not a glass cooktop and is stainless steel.It would be easy to install if it came with brackets but this is a bear minimal setup if you have an old cooktop being replacedClosed burner black top covers if you cook often then you want it to be removed quickly for cleaning.If you do a lot of cooking and had an old stainless steel one before then appearance wise this is perfect. I expect performance to be as the same as my old cooktop which had 5 burners. My only issue is the quality control on the thermocouplers on these because the last Chinese made one I had the thermocoupler failed on the main one.Cons: Everything is either made in China and has different sizes prepare to pay a professional for replacing valves and labor to cut your existing setup for this to fit.I still prefer my old 4 burner because it was made in the United States however I have a mother that doesn't understand the world is getting worse with inferior products now and we now live in a throwaway society. You cannot expect to find the same type of pipes and stuff that is durable and last a long time because lack of quality control and industry standard no longer exists.Other Thoughts:If you want to live then hire a professional contractor to do the installation. Old cooktops do not use old style connectors anymore and you will never be able to find adapters to fit a new valve. Cutting and installing a new cooktop to replace the old standard will be around 700-1000 because unlike the past everything is made in China and nothing is a Universal standard anymore that is why I miss the good old days. I hired an unprofessional for my last cooktop and he used the old regulator and pipe (which industry standard said to replace every five years), and the stuff leaked. What was worse is it was glass so temperature variation without using any kind of cover will lead to breakage of glass which happened in my case. My mother hated me putting the covers on and that is when it happened when she took them offOld style gas valves will not fit the new style connectors. The old shut off valve does need to be replaced with the new style. All the existing parts on the old stove or any that connected it to the old stove must all be replaced with the new style.If the valve is the only old part, it must be replaced. Have a plumber do the work to ensure leak free installation and a proper connection. Most, if not all, appliance delivery & setup personal will not do all the installation work required so if it is an old gas cooktop bite the bullet and hire a professional. Replacing gas shut off valves is one of those things an installer will not do unless he is a plumber and contractor . The valve is not an expensive part but labor and replacement is 200 unless you know how to do it which I recommend you do not if you do not know what you are doing.
