I was skeptical about the simmer function, but so far so good. I would prefer more of the larger burners.

Works great...only concern...the center burner has a hex screw that needs to be able to clean.

We have had this for about 2 weeks. Immediately I realized that I can not read the marked designations for the burner settings. Also-it seems that the gas burners are a considerable distance from the grated which creates a situation of delayed heating.
