Karinear 30 Inch Electric Cooktop 4 Burners, Knob Control Built-in Ceramic Cooktop, 30" Radiant Electric Stove Top with Glass Protection Metal Frame,Hot Surface Indicator, 220-240v, Hard Wire, No Plug

We have now had it in use for 6 months. Very pleased. We installed a new countertop and this unit looks beautiful, especially with the chrome trim. Functions well. Can't go wrong at this price.

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.

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 is my third electric stove. I used to buy GE ones, but they all cost around $540. This time I bought a Karinear electric stove, which is only half the price of a GE one. It's easy to install, and the functions are the same as the GE. It's definitely worth buying, I highly recommend it!

I searched for hours for a good cooktop that wasn’t crazy expensive. Landed on this one and it didn’t disappoint. I need a stove top that ca get really hot and hold the heat. I cook a lot of steak so a sear is important. This cooktop is great
