Glen 4 Burner Stainless Steel manual Gas Stove with brass burner, Silver (CT 1044 SS BB)

Dont buy this . Totally a waste of money . They wont even replace the product for a better one if its broken . If you a person who takes risk this product is for you .

Good… I like it

I bought this as a replacement for my old Faber cooktop. The burners of the Faber stove had corroded, and since it was an older model, spares were not available. The Glen cooktop arrived promptly; the packing was good. The stove is sturdy, unlike many other brands in the market (the Faber stove was even more sturdy).
Since I am using PNG, I had to call the IGL engineer to modify the cooktop (the gas jets are made larger using a special tool). After that it has been fixed up to my PNG connection. It appears to be e good product; I got it for a good price as well.

I have given a long descriptive feedback after using the product for 2 months. Overall I am very very disappointed with the product. The only plus is the burners are very efficient. However, there are too many negatives to make this a product worth recommending:
The burner design makes lighting the gas very difficult. Even after 2 months of use I have to look at where I am placing the lighter. Else the position is all wrong and the flame does not light. The burner holes are all on top and the slope is such that if you place the lighter against the burner it does not light
The bottom edge of the stove is very sharp. If you are not careful when cleaning the sides or under the stove, you can cut your fingers very badly.
I had to tighten all the burner screws. They were loose and kept falling off.
The vessel holder around the burner has already become crooked. The vessels slant or are wobbly as the 4 holders have gone out of alignment.
Often, the gas comes ‘gurgling’ out of the burner. The flame flutters and makes noise.
This is a matter of personal choice. The largest burner is in front. This is meant for a large vessel or large quantity. If you keep a large vessel in front, it rules out using a small vessel at the back as reaching it or even seeing it is difficult and you might burn yourself in the process. Small and medium burners should have been in front. Helps economise on gas use also.
The dimensions of the unit as advertised, 59×56 cms, includes the knobs. Actual dimension without knobs is 50×59 cms. In actuality, these dimensions only support 4 small vessels simultaneously. If you place one large vessel, the vessel in front or at the back has to be very small, else it won’t fit
The vessel holder design is such that if you use a handled utensil, such as a saucepan, it falls, as there is no balance. You have to place it correctly so that the handle is in line with one of the prongs of the holder.
I had a Suryaflame before this. I bought it about 15 years ago and it gave me very good service though it was an unknown brand when I bought it. I would not recommend this model of Glen at all. Actually it deserves 1 star. I have given 2 only because the flames are very efficient.
