Like the way the burners are situated and the lighted knobs. One downside is the grates scratch the surface top when you remove them to clean the burner area.
We have been using this cooktop for several weeks now and I like it a lot. Good variety of burner sizes, and I like the heavy grates, they do not move around when sliding pots on the cooktop.
I am sorely dissatisfied with this cooktop. I’m on my THIRD power burner assembly in 5 years. They warp and become unusable in short order. I called GE after the second one warped and sent them a photo. Their response? “It appears it became too HOT”..... Really?! It’s a STOVE it’s supposed to get hot!!!!! We are a family that cooks and cans food- we use the darned thing. Try making a product with materials that don’t warp under normal use!!!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We’ve only had our GE cooktop for about a month but so far, so good. The only thing I don’t like about it is that the griddle that comes with it, which I was very excited about, is extremely heavy and even more difficult to handle and clean. Bacon was the first thing I cooked on it and it stuck like crazy. Not happy with that.
The cooktop is everything it's supposed to be. Very robust compared to our old cooktop. The only problem with it is that the grates are very heavy. If you get some spattering, to clean it, you must pick up the heavy grates and put them down somewhere to get them out of the way. It's an inevitable problem if you are going to have big, heavy-duty grates enabling an unbroken surface across the stove top, but it's an issue if you're not up to lifting heavy grates.
