Hotpoint GE640X Stainless Steel (Gas) Cooktop

I have a Hotpoint four ring gas hob. I was attracted to the interesting design with the rings organised to horizontally and two vertically, as opposed to the traditional one ring in each corner. Whilst the design is quite attractive and the ring sizes are great, sadly with this configuration, with two large pans on the horizontal plane, only one small pot can be placed on either the top or bottom vertical ring, so effectively it becomes a three-ring hob. This is very annoying and makes cooking for the family quite difficult. I do not recommend this hob.
