Hi Lisa-

The only thing I don't love is the cleaning involved. They streak very easy, and just going over them with a damp paper towel isn't enough if you don't want streaks. Other than that, I still love the way they look and the almost no maintenance involved. Nothing stains them.
Yes, that's my Blue Star Platinum range! Absolutely amazing- worth the price.

Do they still have that beautiful smooth finish ?

Yep, cleaning with water will cause streaks. I use Lysol disinfecting wipes. There's a list of approved cleaners on Cambria's site but they're not detailed enough, generally only giving the name of the company and not which exact product. Drives me crazy.

Yes, the smooth finish is still there. I think it's always gonna be there provided you use their approved cleaners.

You're gonna love the bluestar rangetop. Mine has the 25k btu burner that boils water in under 2 minutes (for tea) it's ridiculous.
