To date I am happy with the product. It has been easy to use and clean. One zone did not work after installation and after three attempts with GE Appliance Repair it was finally repaired.
I would recommend this to a friend!

A couple of small issues from perfect!

We installed GE's new 36" Cafe induction cooktop 1 week ago, and have to say, it is amazing!!! Even after watching many different videos online about the amazing things induction can do, it was still mind boggling to see it in person!! The sheer speed at which you can boil cold water straight from the tap, is unbelievable! So is the instant response when the power level is adjusted! Since there are no hot burners, there's no worry of hard to clean messes from splatters, like on radiant glass cooktops. Now more specific to this cooktop, we love using the griddle on the sync burners!! The top also has a nice size range for each element, unlike most earlier units. You don't have to use cookware the size of the element or larger, you can go quite a bit smaller, and it still works. The top is really nice looking, especially while in use! The LEDs are vibrant and crisp, with a nice design, that reminds me of cool digital gauges from a sports car!! Now a miss that was disappointing. The individual timers for each element, which was a pretty big selling point over many others that don't have that feature, can't be used in conjunction with the kitchen timer that just chimes when it times out. You either have the kitchen timer, which we mostly use, or you have to go into custom settings to have the individual timers that will shut the element off when time is up. Also, it would be quicker and easier to use if you could select an element, then set a time; instead of scrolling from left to right through each element to set them. The next disappointment is the owners manual and installation instructions. They are almost non-existent. They aren't completely specific to the unit. Some parts are, but others are meant more for others, such as the sizes listed for the cutout dimensions. The sizes listed in the instructions are larger than the unit actually is, which led to us having too large of a cutout in our counter, and the new unit not covering the entire hole. I had looked online at the sizes in the instructions, which were exactly what our old cooktop was, but the unit is a half inch less front to back (20-3/8" is the correct size). Now we have to hide the crack somehow or replace our counter sooner than planned. The last miss was the foam tape that is supplied to go between the glass and the counter top. We didn't even get enough to go around a 30" cooktop. I had to stretch each piece to the point of it starting to tear, just to get 3 of the 4 sides. I needed another 21" to finish it (haven't notified GE yet to see how they handle things of that nature).
I would recommend this to a friend!

Fabulous Cook Top
on January 14, 2016
Posted by: Blessings65

It is the greatest induction cooktop in terms of its function and price. We did a lot of study and research before we decided to change our very powerful Monogram Gas cooktop to induction When GE finally came with this model last year, with all the accessories such as the precise temperature probe allows you to cook sous vide , and the griddle for various cooking etc. This new cooktop has an internet function that makes it connect with you 24/7 through your mobile device. Now, cooking is not only a joy but also give you a high-tech feel. You are really living in 21st century.
The glass top design is another amazing deco in your kitchen. It enhances your kitchen design and goes very well with all kind of counter top.
As a conclusion, it is a fabulous appliances which can lead Americans to a higher level of living standard. Thank you, GE crews for your great invention.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Even better than cooking with Gas!!
on December 30, 2015

After living with a traditional electric cooktop and disliking it greatly, it's been great transitioning to an Induction Cooktop. Liquids come to a boil within seconds, I am able to manage heat instantly by resetting the controls, and food cooks exactly as I wish. After a short learning curve of learning the controls, it has become very easy to use. The digital controls are easy to work, and the two burners that can be bridged make it very efficient to work with larger pans. The cooktop looks great on our counter and is very easy to keep clean. The only drawback has been the need to replace many of our old pots and pans as they were stainless steel and thus non usable on the induction cooktop. Even this isn't so bad- we have upgraded our pots!
I would highly recommend this, especially to those who are used to cooking with gas.
