I have never owned an induction cooktop before. However I have had a single burner unit. That was the reason for purchasing the Cafe cooktop. The ease of use, speed and convenience tops everyrhing. I will be recommending it to everyone.
Still aclimating, but so far no complaints ... love the way the platinum glass looks with a quartz countertop. Still shopping for the right silicone mats that can remain in place when inducting.
It is a nice and large stove where you can fit many pots and pans. However, the downfall is that you need pots and pans that are induction capable. Otherwise, it is a pain in the butt. I have only used gas stoves and so this is new but a much easier way to cook and clean.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi - Thank you for having purchased this gorgeous Café cooktop. The proper cookware to use on your induction cooktop should have a flat bottom and is magnetic. To test your existing cookware, check to see if a magnet will stick to the bottom of the pot or pan. If it does, it will work. For more information, please see pages 15-16 of the owner's manual -- https://products-salsify.geappliances.com/image/upload/s--MSoP7w4a--/ypp2ldu3ipi7ucj7lsfy.pdf -- We do hope this is helpful.

This is my first time using an induction stove. I have only used gas stoves. The only pain in the butt is that you need to find induction working pots and pans, which I’m still looking for. And that’s why I haven’t tried all the features. It does seem to heat things up quickly and easy to clean up. And it also looks fancy. Practical wise, need to break in more.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi - Thank you for having purchased this stunning Café cooktop. The proper cookware to use on your induction cooktop should have a flat bottom and be made of a magnetic material. To test your cookware, see if a magnet will stick to the bottom of the pot or pan. If it will, it is compatible.

Heats quickly and also has the ability to keep things at a proper low simmer. Get's some getting used to if you previously used stove/cooktop that was not induction, but adjusting is relatively easy.
After 10 years of using a gas cooktop, we decided to go back to induction. We had Dacor and Wolf cooktops in our previous home, all BLACK and sometimes a bit finicky with the temperature controls. The new GE Cafe induction cooktop is a vast improvement over the last two induction models that were in our previous home..so far so good with the performance and the color is fabulous!...no big black glass...it will not disappoint and I highly recommend over the competition.
