Electrolux Gas Cooktop vs. Capital

14 years ago

I am trying to see if anyone has any experience with the Capital or Electrolux Gas Cooktops. The salesman said the performance on both are comparable, I just like the look of the Electrolux better. I also saw an Electrolux ICON cooktop on line but can't tell the difference between the two.

I have the 36" Electrolux Icon gas cooktop and I have been very pleased with it. It has a 18btu burner which is great for stir frying, boiling water etc as well as 2 15btu, a 12, 2 9s and a 5 (with simmer plate). Truly more than enough power for me and I am a serious home cook. The continuous grates are nice and hefty too. The only small issue I have is that it is gas on glass so clean up can be a bit of a pain. Overall I'd highly recommend it.

I am considering this cooktop and am curious about the clean up issue. I have seen others complain about the difficulty in keeping a stainless surface clean without scratches, smudges, etc., and the Electrolux claims to be a ceramic surface, which I assumed would be like tile and easier to clean plus durable.
