GE profile induction cooktop, Outdated features
on October 28, 2026
Posted by: Donald82
We’ve had Ge appliances in our kitchen for decades. They’ve all aged well. So, based on recent positive experiences with a portable induction cooktop which I recently purchased, I recently decided to replace our electric cooktop with your profile induction cooktop.
(I also replaced our French door fridge with a more user friendly side by side, and I love it!…but I digress…)
Cooktop Pluses:
1. the knobs are gone! Hallelujah!
2.It’s beautiful, and heats evenly, far and away better than the old cooktop.
Cooktop Minuses:
1. Unlike my portable induction cooker, the profile does not have a temperature indicator. Big deal!
2. The touch pad is nice, but when it gets wet from a spill, it will not respond until I have cleaned it. Another big deal.
3. It will not detect small pans…my 1 1/2 qt saucepan nor my 8inch skillet, both are induction quality…another big deal.
4. The biggest heating zone will only detect my largest 12 1/2 in skillet. Another bd!
Conclusion:
While I purchased your top-of-the-line cooking unit at a premium, hoping to get the best features to replace my old cooktop, I was sadly misinformed. You could have had an excellent product, had you simply copied the features and suitability of my inexpensive portable induction unit.
One more thing:
It’s practically impossible to get reliable advice, or product information from your dealers.
Thank you

We'd like to provide information on the required cookware for your cooktop. The induction coils require a minimum pan size to
function properly. For best performance, you'll need to match the pan size to the element size. Using a smaller pot on a larger burner will generate less power at any given setting. You can find additional information on the cookware requirements on pages 17-18 of the owner's manual, found here: https://images.salsify.com/image/upload/s--EJoTSkgi--/bc4fc21d228f4f141fb6a27017aa64e1d06ccc6e.pdf.

Frustrated customer with GE products
on July 16, 2026
Posted by: kona983
from Milpitas, California
I rarely write reviews, but I'm extremely disappointed with this GE cooktop. After only three months of ownership, it has already broken. A major kitchen appliance is supposed to last for years, not a few months. I spent my hard-earned money expecting quality and reliability, and instead I'm dealing with the stress and inconvenience of a product failure almost immediately after installation.
What makes it even more frustrating is that everything seemed fine at first. I trusted the GE brand and expected much better. Having a brand-new appliance fail this quickly has completely shaken my confidence in the product. I wish I had chosen something else.

When it works it is great
on May 24, 2026

from Oxnard, CA
This is my 3rd GE induction cooktop, same model. First one installed lasted maybe 2 months, was still under warranty, and GE service was very helpful to replace. Second lasted about 3 years, luckily had a home warranty service, but took them 6 months to repair and finally replace. It just turned on and off within 5 seconds. They tried to replace mother board control panel, then the complete glass top, but connectors had been upgraded, and didn’t fit.
I have been careful cooking with it, works solidly. Controls are easy to use. Only use full power when boiling liquids, otherwise 1/2 power is best for using oils, for frying I may use up to 3/4th full power. I did notice the latest model doesn’t seem as hot as my previous cooktop.
I do love induction cooking, super responsive, easy clean, unlike electric glass cooktops which stain, and can see burner areas. I wish I could change lights to different color, my husband is colorblind and has hard time with these controls. PS fingertips and control area need to be clean/dry for controls to react.

We’re sorry to hear about the trouble you experienced with your prior units but are glad to hear the situation has been resolved. We are happy to know that you’re enjoying the responsiveness, ease of cleaning and overall cooking performance of your induction cooking.
We want to help you with your cooktop, seeming to not cook as hot. If you are using a smaller pot on a larger burner this will generate less power. For example, if you are using an 8" pan on an 11" burner, it will not provide its full power to the pan on high and it will take longer to boil water. We have more troubleshooting tips from an article on our website at the link here: https://products.geappliances.com/appliance/gea-support-search-content?contentId=17368

Good Purchase
on April 24, 2026
Posted by: Pauly Llama
Good product. I like the "clean" and unbusy look of it. The controls are not as responsive to my finger as I'd like sometimes, but I'm happy with the purchase. A big factor in my purchase was that this model has a good repair record.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Timer volume
on March 21, 2026
Posted by: Jcr123
We replaced an existing GE glass.top that was chipped and cracked. So far so good on the new one. Only gripe is the timer volume is hard to hear when it goes off. I loaded the appliance app, as per the Google instructions, and the app control settings doesn't have an option for timer volume, that I can find.

Good looks, performance, value.
on January 13, 2026
Posted by: BML102
Looks good, performs very well. Fingerprints and liquids/spatters are constant cleanup problems. Easy installation, size fits existing cooktop opening. Cooking zones and sync feature very useful. The WiFi is not very useful - only shows activity, not timer, temps, other status. Bluetooth is also limited - temp only, with specific products. Heston Cue smart cooking has been discontinued and sunsetted, which was a disappointment. No downdraft model available, also disappointing. For the price point, would probably buy again.

Good and bad features
on December 28, 2025
Posted by: PatSax
I absolutely love the large burner on the right side of the cooktop an like the bridge option.
But we had a Bosch with a cook timer and their controls were much easier to do.
Also, my husband used the timer feature while cooking. Unfortunately twice now we've had to turn the breaker off in order to get the cooktop to shut down. No matter what we did the unit would not turn off and you couldn't even adjust the heat. Except for the large burner on the right side I miss my Bosch cook-top.

The Kitchen Timer has no control over the operation of the cooking elements. To turn off the Timer, press and hold the Timer pad for a full three seconds. For more information, please see page 12 of the Owner's Manual -https://products-salsify.geappliances.com/image/upload/s--mGSJcDMI--/4081d01b42080733889ef260f26765b2313ec34e.pdf - If you are having an issue with the burners, please contact our GE Appliances service team - Bodewell at 1-833-426-3393 to have your cooktop evaluated and repaired as needed.
