I have it in my house for 12 years and I wouldn't change it for anything!!!! Fantastic. I don't have any other cooking stove. I cook exclusively with this and in at most one hour I have a ready meal. It has a very strong fire, not like the new gas stoves that scare you to cook. In 5-8 minutes it's done with the fried potatoes. I am to blame for its wear and tear. I sprayed it with a strong cleaner that I forgot on top all night and it ate away the stainless steel. I will buy the same again at any cost. I highly recommend it 100%.
