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!

Noisy and not as fast as expected

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.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Wonderful Cooktop
on August 1, 2023
Posted by: MLuna
from Virginia
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!

Easy to use and clean.

from Monterey, CA
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!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great cook top
on May 13, 2023

from Arlington TX
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
