Frigidaire FGGC3645QB - Frigidaire Gallery 36 Gas Cooktop in Black

Looks great and had been working good so far ( it’s whist 1 week).

If you like to cook, it is worth spending a few hundred more to get this bigger BTU burner. This center burner will bring a pot of water to a full boil in minutes or we used it as a wok burner with great results. Amazing...yeah it is an overused word today, but fits this description.We bought this cook top to replace a 20+ year old black gas on glass cook top with 5 individual burners that bite the dust. Debated whether to go with the stainless or black finish. Stayed with the black and we decided it "hides cooking messes between clean ups better than the stainless version. The control knobs are plastic, not metal as somebody review had said. They work fine, easy to use and are right where I want them to be when cooking. We never had any Frigidaire control knob break, but we are not concerned as replacements if ever needed are easy to buy on Amazon or E bay. We LOVE the full metal grates. They are heavy due to their size but nice to slide pans across the stove top or set pans aside of the burner while cooking. Also the full grads are nice as you can set a plate/serving dish on them if needed or staging something to put in the overhead microwave. One note I have to make is the top of the cook top grates are 2-1/4" higher than the counter it sits on. I missed checking on this dimension and had a concern when installing it as we had the recommended 18" clearance between our kitchen counter and the bottom of the kitchen cabinets. Now we have 15-3/4" clearance between the top of the grates and the bottom of the cabinets. My concern was did we have enough space for cooking and have the over the counter microwave fan function correctly? After using the cook top for 2+ weeks with a large 10 qt pot we have had no clearance or ventilating problems. We have always found Frigidaire appliances to be a good value, have a lot of useful features and they have held up as well as any of the other major name brands. We buy/sell houses for 30 years and usually install Frigidaire appliances if needed. None of our tenants or house buyers have ever complained about the appliances or have they needed repairs beyond the normal wear and tear.

I replaced an older Frigidaire cooktop once some of the burners went out. Also, the top grates had terrible open spaces that would allow my smaller pots to just tip over. But, that's neither here nor there. This new cooktop has mighty grates and they sit up high and mighty. I love the 17k center burner, although I do wish it was a double ring burner. Installation is simple with one gas line and one electric plug. I was a bit worried about the black finish, but it is relatively easy to clean and looks elegant.

Beautiful stovetop. Plenty of BTU's and burners arranged with plenty of space for more than two or more pots at a time. Frigidaire retail price $1125. Amazon $725.I compared a lot of these units and this one is the winner for a number of reasons.Chronic plastic knob problem seems to be corrected on this model. Knobs are plastic, but the actual part surrounding the shafts is metal. They feel very strong and reliable.

I liked this one . I searched around and found this one to be among the most attractive , modern tec and a good value , a must in todays market . a for sure buy for me .
