KitchenAid 36" 5 Elements Downdraft Electric Cooktop

Our take on the 36" 5 Elements Downdraft Electric Cooktop

This 36-inch electric cooktop from KitchenAid builds a downdraft ventilation system right into the unit, so you won't need a separate overhead hood to clear cooking vapors. Its 10-inch Even-Heat Ultra element handles everything from searing at high heat to gentle, low-temperature work, and several simmer settings give you fine control over delicate dishes. A three-speed fan with a 300 CFM exhaust rating keeps the air moving as you cook.

This model suits shoppers who want a clean, hood-free look and a single surface that covers a range of cooking styles. Before buying, confirm that your countertop opening and cabinet space match a 36-inch width, and check that your home has the electric hookup this unit requires.
