Cooktops: Induction, Electric and Gas

A cooktop separates the burners from the oven, so you can put the cooking surface where it works best and mount a wall oven at a height you don't have to bend down to. BrandsMart USA carries induction, radiant electric and gas cooktops in the sizes that fit standard cabinet cutouts.

Measure your existing cutout before you shop. If you would rather have the burners and oven in one appliance, start with freestanding and slide-in ranges instead.

Shop Cooktops and the Rest of Your Cooking Setup

  • Wall ovens. The other half of a cooktop kitchen. Single, double and combination models install at eye level in a cabinet run.
  • Range hoods. Size the hood to the cooktop width, not the other way round. Gas burners in particular need real extraction.
  • Gas ranges. One appliance, one cutout, one gas connection. Simpler if you are replacing a range and not remodeling.
  • Electric ranges. Smooth-top or coil burners with the oven built in, on a single 240-volt circuit.
  • Warming drawers. They hold finished dishes at serving temperature while the rest of the meal comes together.
  • Cooking appliance packages. Buy the cooktop, oven and microwave together so the finishes and handles match.

Brand shopping is easy too. Compare Samsung cooktops for touch controls and app features, LG cooktops for glass and ceramic designs, or Bosch cooktops if you want a flush-mount look. KitchenAid, Whirlpool, GE and Frigidaire are all here as well. See the full brand lineup.

Why Buy Your Cooktop From BrandsMart USA

  • Showrooms in Florida and Georgia. Find your nearest store, turn the knobs, and see how a glass surface looks under real light before you commit.
  • Friendly, expert help in the showroom. Our appliance team works with these models every day and will happily walk you through cutout dimensions, fuel type and pairing a cooktop with the right wall oven. No pressure and no jargon: tell them your space and your budget, and they will help you shortlist.
  • Financing is one of the better reasons to buy here. There is more than one way to spread the cost, and they work differently. The BrandsMart USA credit card carries 0% promotional financing on qualifying purchases, with the length of the term depending on the category and the amount. Katapult lease-to-own needs no credit at all, and you can check your buying power without affecting your credit score. Klarna splits a purchase into interest-free installments with a decision in seconds. Because those are three separate programs rather than one, a route that is not a fit for you does not have to be the end of it.
  • A clear return policy. If it turns out to be the wrong choice, our return and refund policy explains exactly how exchanges and refunds work. Return windows are shorter on major appliances than on small items, so check the terms before delivery day.
  • Specialists who know cutouts. Our appliance team can talk you through fuel type, cabinet depth and controls for your kitchen and your budget.
  • Delivery, installation and haul-away. Check what is covered in our delivery and installation details, and confirm whether the installation needs an electrician or a plumber.
  • Competitive pricing, and offers worth checking. Our 110% low price guarantee applies if you find the same model advertised for less, and it is worth looking through today's deals before you order.
What size cooktop do I need?

Match the cooktop to the cutout you already have, which is usually sized for a 30-inch or a 36-inch unit. A 30-inch cooktop typically gives you four burners, and a 36-inch gives you five plus more room between pans. Measure the existing opening width and depth first, then check the cutout dimensions on the model's specification sheet before ordering.

Is an induction cooktop worth it?

If you cook often, yes. Induction boils water noticeably faster than gas or radiant electric, holds a low simmer without hot spots, and the glass around the pan stays cool enough to be much safer with kids in the kitchen. The catch is cookware: pots and pans have to be magnetic, so test yours with a fridge magnet before you buy. Add the cost of replacing whichever pans fail that test to the price of the cooktop, because in some kitchens that is the number that decides it.

Do I need special pans for an induction cooktop?

You need cookware with a magnetic base, which is not the same as cookware sold as special. Cast iron, enameled cast iron, carbon steel and most magnetic stainless all work; plain aluminum, copper, glass and ceramic do not, and some stainless is not magnetic either. Test each pan by holding a fridge magnet against the bottom: if it grabs firmly, the pan will heat, and if it barely sticks or slides off, it will not. Anything labeled induction ready or carrying the induction coil symbol has already passed that test.

Can I use an adapter so my old pans work on induction?

Yes. An induction interface disk is a magnetic plate that sits between the glass and a non-magnetic pot, taking the heat itself and passing it up, so an aluminum or copper pan will cook on an induction surface. It is a compromise, because heating the disk first costs you the instant response and much of the efficiency that make induction worth buying in the first place. Use one for a favorite pan you cannot replace, not as a plan for the whole kitchen.

Can I replace a gas cooktop with an electric or induction one?

Usually, but it is an electrical job rather than a swap. Electric and induction cooktops need a dedicated 240-volt circuit that a gas cooktop location will not have, and the gas line has to be capped off properly. Have a licensed electrician confirm the panel capacity and wiring before you order, and review our installation details to see what our team can and cannot do on site.

Do I need a range hood over a cooktop?

Strongly recommended, and required by many local codes for gas. Frying, searing and boiling all put grease and moisture into the air, and a gas burner adds combustion byproducts on top of that. Choose a hood at least as wide as the cooktop and vented outside where possible. Browse range hoods sized to 30-inch and 36-inch cooktops.

What is the difference between a cooktop and a rangetop?

A cooktop drops into the countertop and has its burners and controls on the top surface. A rangetop is a heavier professional-style unit that slides between cabinets with front-mounted knobs and no oven. Cooktops are the more common and more affordable choice for most kitchens.

Are glass and ceramic cooktops hard to keep clean?

They are the easiest surface to wipe down, as long as you treat them properly. Clean spills once the glass has cooled, use a cooktop cream rather than an abrasive pad, and avoid dragging cast iron across the surface. Sugary spills should come off while still warm, because they can pit the glass if they are left to harden.

Can I install a cooktop myself?

The drop-in part is straightforward if the cutout already fits, but the connection is not a do-it-yourself job. Gas cooktops need a licensed plumber or gas fitter, and electric and induction models need hard-wiring to a dedicated circuit. Ask about professional installation when you order.

Where can I see cooktops in person near me?

BrandsMart USA has large showrooms across Florida and Georgia with induction, electric and gas cooktops on display side by side, so you can compare surfaces, grates and control layouts. Find your nearest showroom and bring your cutout measurements with you.

What financing options are available on cooktops?

Three separate programs, which is the point. The BrandsMart USA credit card carries 0% promotional financing on qualifying purchases, and major appliances are usually where the longer terms apply. Katapult is lease-to-own and needs no credit, and you can check your buying power without affecting your credit score. Klarna splits the cost into interest-free installments with a decision in seconds. Because they underwrite differently, it is worth asking about more than one. Current terms are on our financing page.

1. Start with the cutout, not the cooktop

Cooktops drop into a hole cut in the countertop, and that hole is the constraint. Measure the width and depth of the existing opening, then check the specification sheet for the model you want, since the cutout dimensions and the overall glass size are different numbers. Also measure the cabinet below: a downdraft unit or a deep gas burner box can collide with a drawer.

2. Pick your fuel and heating type

Induction is the fastest and most precise, keeps the surface cool around the pan, and wipes clean, but it only works with magnetic cookware. Radiant electric puts heating elements under a smooth glass top for a lower price and no cookware restrictions. Gas gives you a visible flame, instant response and works with woks and warped pans, but it needs a gas line at the cabinet.

3. Match the burner layout to how you cook

Count how many pans you actually run at once. Four burners suit most households; a five-burner 36-inch layout helps if you cook multiple dishes or use a large stock pot. Look for one high-output burner for boiling and searing, and one low simmer burner if you make sauces.

4. Decide whether you also need a wall oven

Going with a cooktop means buying an oven separately, and that is the whole point for a lot of remodels: the oven goes into a cabinet at a comfortable height, and the cooktop goes on the island or the run of counter you use most. If your budget covers only one appliance right now, a range is the cheaper route. If you already have cabinetry to work with, pair the cooktop with a single or double wall oven.

A cooktop and wall oven, or one range?

Split them if you are remodeling and the layout is genuinely still in play. That is the point of a cooktop: the burners and the oven no longer have to share the same three feet of wall, so the cooking surface goes on the island or the longest stretch of counter, and a wall oven goes into a tall cabinet at chest height where nobody lifts a hot roasting pan up from knee level. Two people can also work at the same time without one standing in the other's way.

Buy one range instead if the kitchen is staying where it is. Two appliances means two prices, two cutouts and two connections, and the cabinet beneath a cooktop gives up its top drawer to the burner box, so you lose storage as well as money. A range lands in a single opening, which makes it far the simpler swap. Compare gas ranges and electric ranges before you commit to the split.

Induction, electric or gas cooktop?

Induction is the one to buy if the budget stretches and your pans are magnetic. It boils faster than either alternative, follows the dial instantly, and because only the pan heats, the glass around it stays cool enough to be much safer with children nearby and easy to wipe as soon as you finish. Test your cookware with a fridge magnet first: aluminum, copper and some stainless will not work at all, and replacing the pans you use every day is a genuine cost to add to the price.

Radiant electric is the value pick, with the same flat glass and no cookware restrictions, though the elements lag behind the dial and the surface stays hot after you switch off. Choose gas if the line is already at the cabinet and you want a flame that wraps around a wok or tolerates a warped pan, and accept that grates and burner caps have to come off to clean underneath. Gas also needs the most extraction of the three, so size a range hood to the full width of the cooktop rather than to the cabinet above it.

Opening the doors and pulling out the drawers tells you more than any spec sheet, and every cooktop here can be seen in person. We have eleven showrooms across South Florida and metro Atlanta.

Each store page has the address, phone number and current showroom hours. You can also find the store nearest you or order online and collect in store.

However you prefer to buy, the choice is yours. Come see the cooktops in person at any of our showrooms across Florida and Georgia, order online and pick up in store, or have yours delivered and installed, with haul-away of the old unit available on most major appliances. Financing is available on qualifying purchases, including a lease-to-own route that needs no credit. Bring your existing cutout dimensions, which is the measurement that decides most of it.
