What Makes A Top-Selling Cooktop?

Easy-clean finishes, instant heat and state-of-the-art safety features (think cool-to-touch induction cooktops) are what make a top-selling cooktop. Plus, customers want a timeless design that’s built to last.

“Having one of the latest cooktops is like having your very own personal sous-chef in the kitchen, thanks to precision heat control, fast cooking times and specialty fittings like wok burners that give you greater versatility when it comes to what you cook,” says Tania Grillinzoni, The Good Guys Buyer – Cooking and Dishwashers.

“And keep in mind when upgrading, your cooktop does not necessarily have to match your oven or rangehood. You can match the finishes or mix them up, which is another trend we’re seeing. Think black glass cooktop with stainless steel oven.”

What Are The Top-Selling Gas Cooktops?

Our customers rate Westinghouse and Technika ranges among the best gas cooktops. Fans of gas cooktops adore the instant heat of a gas flame and applaud modern safety features such as “flame out” off switches.
