Good cooktop

This was a replacement for an existing GE Profile cooktop that I had that cracked (but did last 13 years). It was easy to install. My previous cooktop did have one burner that was larger than any on the existing but I don’t consider that a huge issue. It was a good price on sale compared to what I paid for the first one.
Installation was easy for my son. This unit replaced an old, 19 years, GE stovetop. Hopefully this new one has similar longevity? Controls are easy to see. Burners stay very hot long past when warning light (s) turn off. Is this a defect? Glad I have stainless pots and pans so they will work on the surface. I will have to warn grand-kids not to go near stovetop even after warning lights turn off! Compatible but with a learning curve and possible burns.
Not happy with the surface. We had our previous cooktop, black, glass, for over 20 years. We used it daily and heavily. It did not have one scratch. We replaced it with this one. From the day we started using it, white marks and streaks began to show up, on burners and off to the side. We don't drag our pots, we are very careful. Don't know why or how the unsightly white marks come from.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We'd like to help improve your experience with your cooktop. You can find information on the cooktop and proper cookware for the cooktop on pages 12-13 of the Use and Care Manual here: https://products-salsify.geappliances.com/image/upload/s--iu1GGLK9--/a5fffec601c93db2e4c08f48395595d120f86441.pdf. Cleaning and care instructions can be found on pages 18-19. We're confident this information will help keep your cooktop looking like new.
The stove top heats quickly and evenly and is easy to adjust the temperature. I have only been using it a couple weeks so still getting use to the features. The only complaint I have is that after every use there are dark areas that need to be cleaned. However, it is also very easy to clean using a baking soda paste. I am overall pleased with it.
I would recommend this to a friend!

We are glad to hear you are happy with your new unit, and it’s been working quickly and cooking evenly for you! We would like to help and provide some information regarding the cooktop care. There is also additional tips for keeping the cooktop clean in the manual on page 18 at the link here- https://products-salsify.geappliances.com/image/upload/s--iu1GGLK9--/a5fffec601c93db2e4c08f48395595d120f86441.pdf. There is also a cooktop features guide for your unit that can be found in the manual at the same link on page 5.
I would have preferred the large burners to be located on front left and rear right of cooktop like my previous cooktop! I do like that it sits higher and is not flush with countertop!
I would recommend this to a friend!
