Solid GE Profile cooktop in our new build

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have the GE Profile Collection in our new build (closed in June) and we're happy with the package- the cooktop is great- I don't know that we actually need a 'remote' to operate the range hood, but OK, we'll take it. In our previous home, we had a Samsung cooktop, which was fine, I like that these burners heat up super fast, I like the warmer, and these glass cooktops can be a challenge to clean/shine, this cleans up and shines quickly with the Weiman cooktop cleaner. The controls are great too, overall, we're very happy with the GE Profile Cooktop.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This cooktop has been great just not pleased with the touch controls. I had to contact service because the lock control will not unlock so cannot cook until it’s serviced.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is our 3rd GE Profile cooktop. It was installed less than 2 months ago. Our previous 2 were great. This one is not the same. We have already had to have the large burner unit replaced due to a faulty sensor causing the HOT indicator to remain on at all times. None of the burners heat properly. It takes ages to heat up and anything less than 3/4 full hot does not even melt butter. I did most of my cooking on a leverl 3 or 4 (out of 10 levels) on my previous cooktops. Not an option on this one.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We're sorry to hear that you had to replace the large burner on your cooktop and that all of the burners are taking too long to heat up. We recommend taking a look at the estimated heating times in the article below. For example, the right rear burner on this model is a 6" radiant burner. It's normal for this burner to take 7 minutes and 12 seconds to heat up.
Additionally, the type of cookware used can affect how long the surface takes to heat up. We recommend using stainless and aluminum cookware with flat bottoms. You can find further info on this here: https://products.geappliances.com/appliance/gea-support-search-content?contentId=16259
If the burners continue to take too long to heat up, you can schedule an appointment with our Bodewell service team by calling 1-833-426-3393 or online here: https://www.geappliances.com/ge/service-and-support/service.htm
It’s useless, I’m not even sure if there’s a way to turn the burners off if I’m not in the kitchen. So difficult, only shows if it’s on or off. Pointless.

We will be passing your comments about the remote control of the burners over to our product team to review. We're always making updates to our app and appliances.
Love the all-smooth top especially for cleaning but the controls are hard to use. Having to hold your finger a certain way to get the right touch is not easy and if your hands are wet, impossible. This unit replaced a similar one which caught on fire ( wires melted). The replacement had a different configuration and my husband had to modify the drawer below it to make it fit. We have not had good luck with our GE appliances. We purchased 100% GE when we built our new home in 2021 and have had issues with the washer, the microwave (twice ) and then the cooktop in less than 3 years.
I would recommend this to a friend!
