One of my best new purchases. Went in to buy a standard oven/range during my renovation and the salesperson showed me this under the counter oven and I had to have it! My husband is excited to, it does everything! I cook 6-7 nights a week and now I cannot wait to use it!
I expected to be able to set precise temperatures. Only after installation and reading the manual did I find out that I needed specialized cookware in order to do that. Very Disappointing! I have numerous induction ready pots and pans and I was using them on a portable induction cooktop that allowed me to control the temperature to within 5 degrees F.

The induction stove works very well and I love the lock the controls feature when all burners are off which makes cleaning a breeze. I am still getting used to the touch controls a little because sometimes it feels like they don’t respond to your touch either with too much or too little pressure. In the whole though cooking is very fast and efficient. The exclusive whole-clad cookware works with this cooktop best as opposed to cookware that has the induction bottoms alone. I see that heating is not as fast and even with those induction bottom ones. Also a word of caution to always start with medium or intermediate heat and then increase to the maximum since these stoves can get things burning hot in minutes! Also super easy to clean!! Love the cooktop on the whole, would definitely recommend it!
Replaced a prior GE Induction cook top that i dropped a lid on . Comparing the two the first one seems to have more power than the new one. It maybe the learning curve. Overall i like both units and would recommend.
We chose this induction cooktop for its large coil layout with the easily selectable power level dials. The dials allow to swipe between power levels instantly. We had never used induction before and were nervous about the noises induction tops can make.we are very pleased with the induction buzzing noise, it's not annoying in tone or volume using our cookware. The cooktop fan is the loudest part of the cooktop, but is onky activated when many coils are being used at once. Again, the fan noise isn't overly obtrusive. Performance is as you'd expect for an induction- quick and responsive heat transfer. Been using the hob for a couple months now with no regrets!
