Pros: This was recommended to us, as with the knobs along the front, it gives you more space to place the pots. (on the other models, with the knobs down the side, there is less room) This is great if you cook more than 1 or 2 pots at once.
Cons: The tops of the burners seem difficult to clean and have lost there sheen.
Overall: Great! Ignition works well. Great safety features - if flame goes out, gas cuts out, which is good if something boils over etc. Easy to clean, except for the tops (black part) of burners. Cast iron, so very sturdy.
