We haven't had any problems ....
We haven't had any problems with our 13 year old Highland cook-top HP6SSN, but ..... it's the only natural gas appliance we have, the bill is about $6 for gas and $50 "Daily charge. We looked into converting it to LPG /propane, but can't find the conversion kit!
Any suggestions?
Purchased in November 2021 at Winnings.

Terrible. Do Not Buy One.
Constant problems, clicking, failure to light, gas remains on when it should off and shorting in the igniter that has blown the entire kitchen circuit. But worse is the fact that there are simply no parts available. I have had the local service agent out four times now but he cannot get parts anywhere. Now I have to use a BBQ lighter. I managed to buy from EBay - for a hugely expensive cooktop this is just not good enough. Do not buy one.

Please don't buy
I have purchased two highland gas cook tops. The first one for my home in Melbourne. I was looking for a high quality product, reliable and long lasting. I really liked the wok burners on the highland range and I really like the aesthetics of the highland products.
But the wok burner stopped working after one year, and a service agent came out and replaced it. All good.
We sold our home and moved to regional Victoria. I purchased again a Highland gas cook top this time with two wok burners. Two years in and the whole system is playing up. F...Read more

igniters keep ticking
I always had Ilve Cook tops and ovens but wanted the low setting for gas these have. works great except 1 or the 2 wok burners keeps ticking. had several service calls which came when they scheduled but telling me its the pots i use or the size of pans and other rubbish did not wash. just booked another service call today and they say the part has been redesigned and they will swap both wok burners parts out under warranty. not sure what parts but suspect the gas reader or the igniters.
Will update this post after they finish the service. I will also expect they restart the warranty on all the parts they have been servicing and replacing !

Poor quality and poor service
Purchased the Highland cooktop, it was the worst decision I made for my new kitchen. It was sold to me as being a premium product, but after 3 service calls later and having to wait for 3 months for parts and for me to do all the follow up, I would recommend buying another brand.

Poor attention to details in workmanship
Within few months of installing the cooktop, the igniters on the wok burners became faulty - they would keep sparking even though flame was on. It took 3 visits from technician to fix it. Now my warranty has expired, the igniter on medium burner works intermittently. The black coating on the trivet where wok sits has started to come off. The knobs were always loose and wobbly when it was new and technician never bothered to fix it. For such an expensive cooktop, the quality doesn't match it. I wish I had stuck to ILVE cooktop which I was very happy with.

Questions & Answers

Ok highland owners I would like to know if I am the only person in Aussie that has this issue(apparently I am).
I have found that the gas controls in the showroom and for the first few weeks of use in my home are silky smooth.
After a few weeks and under heat conditions the gas controls become jerky and binding.
Not sure if a lack of decent hi-temp grease in the valves or brass bodies distorting/expanding with heat??
Valves I was told are top of the wazzer German made?

I am on my second cooktop after moving. Neither suffered that complaint
Hi, I dont have that particular problem, however, having had the cooktop working for over a year now, I find that I cant control the level of flame as easily as I could initially...ie it seems to be on/off but very little control in between.
I had an initial installation installation problem which was quickly and efficiently managed (and we live a long way from Melbourne).. I am just about to address this issue with them, and expect that they will offer the good service they did last time!! (fingers crossed).
I really love that this is an Australian company, and really want them to stay in business...so I hope they see the importance of excellent customer service to ensure their survival!
Hi,
Mine's 11 years old (HP6SS) and never missed a beat. I'm building shortly and the only reason I won't buy another is we are tree-changing and will be off grid so we are having induction. Don't want the hassle of gas.
What's with high temp grease? There's no heat at the control valve.
It seems the later ones were plagued with the "clicking" igniters but mine's been fine.
I have only two grumbles - the screen printing wore off because the cleaners keep scrubbing with Jif despite my insistence not to, and the trivets are a bee's d*** out of level so the oil runs to the front of the pan on the wok burners. Cupboard is level, cooktop is level. They replaced the trivets for free, but they must bend with the heat?

Ok Folks - here is the latest. i have had the 3rd free service and yes they have now stopped the ticking. what they have done is adjust how the wok burner buttons works It now has no power once it is ... Read more
turned on hence it can't tick anymore. Sounds great and certainly works..... EXCEPT the power is also turned off to the flame auto restart feature. So if your using the wok burner large element to simmer a large pot BE CAREFUL as it has and can now flame out and fill the house with GAS mine has already done this several times. I don't consider it a repair when they don't fix the problem they just provide a work around and now have disabled the safety feature in doing so. Unless they put a auto shut off on the system for when it flames out then its dangerous. A large part of buying a expensive unit like this is the safety feature. At this stage i would not try it again i would go back to the ILVE i had before or try another brand. These would be fine if you don't have wok burners in them, but thats why i went with it in the first place... no easy fix, redesign the wok burner and refit. expensive so it isn't gonna happen.
