Greetings-
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review on your Café Induction Cooktop- your feedback is valued, and very important to us!
With that being said, we are so sorry to see that your cooktop has a cracked edge. We understand that this is not the quality that you expect, and we truly apologize for any disappointment and frustration this has caused.
Your feedback ensures that we are aware of any changes or improvements that can be made to our appliances or parts, and we thank you for providing us with your input!
Being the first time I have use an induction cook top, it took a little time to get used to how quickly pans got hot. The finger controls also took some getting used to but work well now. Temperature control of the elements is quite accurate; I can easily keep something warm without it sticking. I do have to watch when trying to heat food up too quickly, it can scorch the bottom before the rest of the pan is even warm. The glass top is easy to keep clean.
This induction cook top has a lot of great safety features! I love how it has a lock for the burners and it does not heat if there are no pots/pans on the burner. It heats really fast, a small pot of water will start to boil just over a minute. It's very user friendly for my elderly mom who is 90 yrs old!! It's a beautiful cooktop with so many amazing features.
We installed cooktop in June 2017 and two right burners have recently failed and will no longer maintain their connection. A range of this price should last min 10 years. Very disappointed with quality.

Hello there, we're terribly sorry to know your two right burners have recently failed. This is certainly not what we expect for our customers so we can imagine your frustration.
For the best help, we recommend scheduling service with a certified GE Appliances technician that will be able to accurately diagnose and repair your appliance. You can do so by calling GE Appliance Service at 1-800-GECares (1-800-432-2737) or by clicking here: https://www.geappliances.com/ge/service-and-support/service.htm
This unit gave me problems from the beginning. I had cold stops from heat elements and no starts at all. Called for warranty service and Assurion refused to fix the stove due to glass they broke. Worse stove ever. They tried to update electric unit with module and this did not work. All techs hate this unit.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hi Mav13 - We're so sorry to hear about the difficulties that you've encountered with your cooktop. We know this must be frustrating. Our product team would like to look into this for you. If you would, please send us an email through our Contact Us page, here: https://www.geappliances.com/ge/service-and-support/contact-others.htm
The product is a great idea but GE hasn't engineered the unit to be reliable and doesn't have the parts for repair. Right now the cooktop is a very expensive piece of art in the middle of my island countertop. I could not recommend this product.

First burner has failed on unit bought in August 2

While it has worked properly, we like it very much. But very disappointed last night when one of the burners failed to stay on in normal service. Starts ok, but quickly just stopped working. Now have to figure out if we can get that one burner fixed or have to replace the whole cooktop. A real pain for old folks during a pandemic.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
