My last cooktop didn’t last that long, probably about two years. It is always the way, the appliance tends to break just after the warranty has expired. This time I wanted to buy a quality brand cooktop, rather than a cheap no name brand. So I bought a Thermador gas cooktop for my kitchen. I bought it in stainless steel so that it would match my other appliances. I also have a stainless steel range hood so they match up quite well too. This particular cooktop is quite big as I am lucky enough to have a large kitchen, so my cooktop has six hobs.
