Karinear36 Inch Electric Cooktop 5 Burners, Knob Control Built-in Ceramic Cooktop, 36" Radiant Electric Stove Top, Over-Temperature Protection, Hot Surface Indicator, 240v, Hard Wire, No Plug

I waited a month after installing this before writing a review, because any changes always seem bad with anything new. I had a GE stovetop that lasted 24 years before the glass broke unexpectedly so I am comparing it to it. So here it is:Pros:1. Easy to install - Less than 1 hour and half of that time was just cleaning the surface and removing the old one. There is nothing complex changing these out if you are replacing an existing electric stovetop. There are only 2 hot wires and a ground. That should be true on your existing plug and what is coming out of the new stove top. Both wires are 110 each so either can go to either side. (No nuetral on 220). Mounting: There is no need to mount brackets. My old one popped up with a flat end screw driver and was just weight heavy holding it in place - so same thing with this. It doesn't move just dropped it in after attaching felt edging that came with it. Note: It came with a scraper, mounting brackets and wire leads ready to attach to your old plug wires. I just attached the wire to where my old wires went to. SIMPLE. Nice!2. Matt coated top is just like my old GE that I had for 24 years. It never showed dirt or scratches that much even though it was old. A lot of the newer designs have a polished finish and they always look dirty. I didn't want that.3. I like the fact that it has a metal edging. It think this will help prevent a broken glass top. And this is exactly what happened to my old GE.4. It warms up and cooks as good as my old GE stovetop and I absolutely loved that cooktop. If anything this stovetop may take slightly longer to heat up, but that is splitting hairs.5. The price of this stovetop was less that 1/2 of another GE which is what I wanted to get. So that seemed like a potential risk, but the reviews were good, so why not try it. What a bargain!.CONS:1. Functions: This was a little weird at first and had to figure it out - nothing serious though. The knobs turn very easily to each power number 1- 10. No clicks like my old GE, so if your cleaning the stove top they get moved ON or OFF with the slightest wipe... and I'm not joking, bump them slightly and they turn. This took some time to get used to. Also there is a main power button that, even though you turn a knob it will not turn on a burner without the main button activated. This was a little irritating too, but possibly a good safety feature in case you bump a knob while cleaning, it won't come on unless you engage this button. But the Power Button comes ON every time you wipe the surface, so you have to watch for the red LED lights, if they came ON. I finally got used to that - this was very different.3. Power button - it is like a touch screen on your cell phone. If you have moisture on it from cleaning the stove top, it won't activate. You have to wipe it down dry and make sure your finger is dry before activating it. At the same time, a wet washcloth will activate it sometimes, especially on the first wipe. So basically if you wipe up a spill on the stovetop while cooking, you turned everything off. This seems to happen a lot, but I've grown used to it and constantly look for red indicator lights.4. Knob location - Nothing big, but one front burner is in the very back and the other in the front. None of the button coincide with the location of the burners. Don't know what idiot thought this made sense. Especially the double burner in front. The outer burner has to be activated by the button every single time you use it and the button is next to a different controller for the burner. What was this all about? I finally got used to this, but still weird.5. This glass top is about 20% thinner than my old GE. I don't know if this will make any difference, but I did notice it. However it seems sturdy enough so it may not necessarily be a CON, just something noticeable.I would buy it again, even with the cons. NOTE: I deliberately bought the Knob version, because I have a touchscreen in my RV and I had problems with it being bumped on and off while wiping also, but that one has a lock on it so once set wiping won't bother it. If that was true for this model, I would probably be a better option. The knobs didn't turn out to be as good as my old one, but they are OK once getting used to it.

This electric cooktop is a great addition to any kitchen. It heats up quickly, cooks evenly, and fits well in small spaces. The knob controls are simple to use, and the residual heat indicator is a helpful safety feature. I also appreciate the overheat protection for peace of mind. The ceramic glass surface looks modern and is easy to clean.

I'm an electrician. I usually install a lot of machines. But this time when we packaged, we encountered a problem that the cable routing was going in the correct direction. Regardless of whether we have mentioned it before, please refer to this information in the product manual. Once the problem is solved, the output will be lost. The 240v socket and plug just need to be integrated and matched. The difficulty level is from 1st grade to 9th grade, and I consider myself to be in the highest 9th grade learning range. Heme is absorbed into the blood at the site of construction. Very suitable for cooking in the kitchen outside. Easy to clean

Nice product. Easy to install if you have general electrical knowledge. The buttons have an odd lineup. Button don’t line up according to burner locations, confusing. Stove turn off automatically when it sense there is no pot. Love that safety option. Cooks OK I get things done, burners don’t get as hot as my previous electrical stove. Great price for the product.

This stovetop was purchased October 5th 2023 it is now Dec. 02 2024 barely 1 year and it has stopped working randomly. The lights all turned on for all 4 burners and it stopped heating up completely. This stove was only used occasionally not for any heavy duty cooking. other reviews were correct this stove is defective or designed to break at the 1 year mark as other reviewers have stated it has happened to them as well and now myself. I contacted the manufacturer for the so called 3 year warranty and I got no response at all. they know they are selling a horrible product in my opinion so they weren’t helpful. Do not waste your money. look at my experience and others as well to make an informative choice with a better brand that will last longer than 1 year. I now have to buy another stove for my property I will be paying double compared to a real heavy duty stove. Which I should have bought to begin with. I thought this smaller stovetop was going to save me space but I ended up wasting $200 plus. Cheaper isn’t always good.

I’m very happy with this 2-burner electric cooktop. It’s perfect for small spaces or secondary kitchens. The design is modern and sleek, it heats up quickly, and installation was simple. Ideal for those who want practicality without sacrificing style. Great purchase!

I recently installed this 30-inch electric cooktop in my newly built ADU, and I couldn’t be happier with my purchase! This cooktop stands out because of its sturdy metal frame, which provides extra protection for the glass surface. It’s a small but thoughtful design feature that gives me peace of mind, knowing it’s built to last.The knob control is a game-changer, especially for older family members who struggle with touch controls. The four powerful burners heat up quickly and offer 9 adjustable power levels, making it easy to cook everything from a slow simmer to a high-heat sear.Safety was a top priority for me, and this cooktop delivers with its hot surface indicator and automatic shut-off feature to prevent overheating. Plus, unlike induction cooktops, this one works with all types of cookware, so I didn’t have to buy new pots and pans.Installation was straightforward, but keep in mind that it requires professional wiring to 220-240V—no plug-and-play. That being said, once set up, it performs beautifully and adds a sleek, modern touch to my ADU kitchen.Highly recommend!
