The Pros and Cons of Getting Summit Coil Cooktop

The Pros

• Durability: 
  Coil cooktops are sturdy and can withstand heavy cookware, such as cast iron, without damage.
• Affordable: 
  They cost less upfront, and replacement coils are inexpensive and simple to install.
• Responsive Heating: 
  Coils heat up and cool down faster than smoothtops, giving you more immediate temperature control.
• Versatile with Cookware: 
  Suitable for nearly all types of pots and pans, including glass and cast iron.
• Easy DIY Fixes: 
  If a coil burns out, it can be quickly swapped out with a new one, often available at hardware stores.

The Cons

• Harder to Clean: 
  Spills and crumbs can collect under coils and drip pans, requiring more effort to keep clean.
• Inconsistent Heating: 
  Hot spots may occur, leading to uneven cooking compared to smooth-top surfaces.
• Less Efficient: 
  They release more heat into the room, reducing energy efficiency and potentially raising energy costs.
• Outdated Look: 
  Their practical, utilitarian design doesn’t match the sleek style of modern kitchens.
• Slow to Cool: 
  The coils stay hot for a while after being turned off, posing a burn risk.

• Power Dependent: 
  As with all electric stoves, they won’t function during a power outage.

Summit's Coil cooktops offer durability, affordability, and wide cookware compatibility, with the added benefit of easy DIY repairs. However, they can be harder to clean, less energy-efficient, and provide uneven heating, while their dated appearance and slow cooling may not suit modern kitchens.
