We upgraded from a Whirlpool electric glass cooktop that had knobs for each heating element. Going to a fully capacitive touch control is a blessing when it comes to cleaning since there’s no dials or knobs to obstruct the cleaning process. A completely flat glass surface makes cleaning a cinch.
One small issue I had is the depth of the unit being 1 inch shorter than the previous Whirlpool unit, leaving a gaping opening in the back. It would have been nice if GE had included an adapter or cover plate of some sort to close the gap. It looks like we’ll need to craft a custom cover to close the gap.
Functionally speaking, the cooktop works well as advertised. Though it’s only been a week of use so far, both wife and I love it.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Less than 2 months old and already having problems with. Wilson's Appliance is working the issue. We do like the way it cooks and ease of operating it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

It is ok but makes an annoying humming noise when turned on. It does not heat up water in 30 seconds as demonstrated unless it is a very small amount.

We had a kitchen renovation done and after much research decided on an induction cooktop. Couldn't be happier with our new Cafe induction cooktop. It's so sleek, controls are easy to use. It has the versatility of cooking with gas, without the dangerous fumes. Heats up instantly and cools down just as fast. I love it.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hi,
Thanks for leaving a review! We're excited to hear you're enjoying this Cafe cooktop and it's a pleasure having you with us. We're thrilled that the performance and features of this model have made cooking easy for you as well.
This upgrade was the best decision for us. With two young kids, boiling water for mac and cheese, tea/coffee and a myriad of other uses has been a game changer! I love the ease of cleaning it and the wi-fi connect option. It gives me a notification when the range is on, which makes me think ahead to when my kids use it and being able to check on them for safety. Highly, highly recommend!
The cook top works great, evenly cooks food. The only thing is the outer class edge would easily break or chip. We installed car door edging to help protect it. I have attached 2 photos showing the edging
