Kenmore 30&#34 Electric Cooktop with Radiant Elements —

I've had this cooktop for nearly a year and it has been a joy. Very easy to clean, very hard to scratch, when polished, it looks like new. I haven't quite got the hand of the simmer element yet, but all the others work just as expected. I'm thrilled with this product and would highly recommend it. As for the simmer, it seems too low to really simmer and when not on simmer, way too high for most applications besides stir fry which requires very high heat.
