Karinear 4 Burner Electric Cooktop 24 Inch, Built-in Electric Stove Top, 220-240v Electric Radiant Cooktop with Knob Control, Residual Heat Indicator, Over-Temperature Protection, 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.

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!

Have had this for 4 months. Works perfect.Replaced a GE range. Really simple to install.Cleans really nicely. For the price it’s a terrific value. I was a little worried about the electric buttons . But you get used to it after a week.We cook every day so it’s been heavily used.With no issues.

I have wanted to change out my 40-year-old electric stove top for years. After reviewing ceramic cook tops, I ordered this Karinear 30-inch radiant electric stove. I knew my cutout was going to be close, but fully expected I was going to need to trim out additional space. I was not looking forward to that. To my surprise this unit fit in the existing space perfectly.I hooked this up to my existing 40-amp circuit. This was not a difficult project. I was able to do the entire job alone and relatively quickly. The only negative on this stove I see is the knob layout. I do not understand why the top knob is set to control the bottom right dual burner. There just does not seem to be any logic to it. I love the simplicity of this stove with the knobs. Overall, I am very pleased with the results. I have done a little cooking on it and it is working perfectly. I suspect I will be happy with this unit for years.

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.

My cooktop is great. I love the smooth top. It's easy to clean. The burners heat up quickly and cook evenly. I love that the burner controls are on the side, not on the back or front. I can tell exactly what temperature my burners are at with the red line on the controls. The ID for each burner helps tell me how they match up.
