GE profile quality layout not great
on January 10, 2026
Posted by: cooktop bad space
I got this for very inexpensive after the older better version had an unfortunate, break the iPhone screen, drop the coffee out of the microwave moment. Complete unusual and unfortunate drop/bounce. That being said; it had do be replaced and this was comprisable. So need/price point of comparable and availability dictated purchase in hurry. 30 inch was my cut out. I was very found of how easy to clean an sheik it looks when off. Love GE profile appliance will continue to buy them across the board. For me. Power boil should be separate from the main skillet or the largest on. The 2 sink together make for ok large skillet or smaller boil. The whole right side of the cooktop is empty. Seem unnecessarily busy, with room to spare on the right side.

Takes along time to heat up. This is my 3rd stove top like this and it’s noticeable how long long it takes to heat up

I find using the controls somewhat awkward. (I had LOVED the way things worked on my old--2003-model.) Changing from HOT to a lower temperature unreliable--sometimes worked, Sometimes not. As per my own safety habit, I was locking the controls after each use--in case something was left atop the cooktop and triggered it on by mistake. But about the third time I did this I COULD NOT GET IT TO UNLOCK! So I flipped off the breaker for the appliance. When I flipped it back, it worked. Now I fear hitting LOCK at all.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This unit takes an extended time to heat up. It's basically all or none on temperature. Old unit was far better product with better temp control and eye selection. Old unit had 2 eyes for larger pots this one doesn't. Old unit had a three portion built in 1 eye. Not impressed at all. Only thing I like is the sleek appearance. Top is very hard to keep clean. I don't recommend this unit. I should have purchased the less expensive 5 burner cooktop with the unsightly knobs for temp control. I would be really disappointed if I had not gotten this unit on sale. Old Profile lasted 14 years no problems and power outage contributed to its demise.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This model has Precision Temperature Control that allows you to set your burner to an exact degree, not just high, medium or low. Using a smart pan, the cooktop maintains a specific temperature – from 100 to 500 degrees. Please review the following link for more details: https://www.geappliances.com/appliance/GE-Profile-30-Built-In-Touch-Control-Electric-Cooktop-PEP7030DTBB
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Everything seems to work OK. It's easy to use. I find that the burners are a bit slow to heat the food in the pan but once they get going they're OK. Some features I don't understand and have entertainment value with my friends....like bluetooth. Why does my stovetop have bluetooth? Remote cooking? Or maybe it gives cooking classes. I haven't figured that out yet. LOL.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The cooktop performs wonderfully but the burners need to be larger. There are 3 of the same size and I think one needs to be expanded. There are controls are good and I love the quick boiling burners. If I had to buy again, I would have chosen a difference cooktop due to the three smaller burners.

We are happy that you are enjoying the controls and PowerBoil burners on this cooktop. Your feedback is extremely important to us. We will pass these comments regarding the burner size along to our product team to review.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The flat glass cooktop with no knobs is sleek looking and easy to clean. The electronic controls with digital display are easy to use and the heating units get to the temp you super fast, you can boil water quickly. Love it.
