We absolutely love our induction cooktop. It has a tough learning curve but we figured it all out. Even the Hestan Cue cookware. We love it all. Now we are buying all of other Profile kitchen appliances one at a time. We already bought the dishwasher and the refrigerator arrives next week. The OTR microwave in two weeks. Lastly, we are getting the side swing double convection oven athe end of April. We already had to front load washer and dryer and we love them all!
The design makes this a very easy to use cooktop. It is very responsive in heating and cooling down. The cleaning instructions are clear and very helpful in keeping it look new. I used a long cast iron griddle, and it worked great. We have solar and switching from gas and utilizing our incoming energy more efficiently makes us happy, too.
GE needs to provide a 36” trim option for this cooktop. Why would they only offer a 30” trim when it’s literally a piece of metal that has to be the easiest thing to manufacture and would be very very easy to copy the design of the 30” for a 36” size??
Pros: Looks good, cooks fast, easy to clean. Cons: Poor durability Had to replace it in less than 2years of light use. Issues with the touch pad. Luckily had the product covered on extended home warranty. Also, touch pad gets wet very often with cooking steam and spills and it is annoying having to dry it up to change settings or turn "knob" to desired level.

We are happy to hear that you are enjoying your cooktop and its quick response time as well as the ease of cleaning. As we continue to make improvements to our appliances, your feedback is extremely important to us. We will pass these comments along to our product team to review.
Nice sleek looking cooktop, works well so far. This is a replacement for an old Thermador induction cooktop. The issue is that I have to purchase a custom trim kit which GE does not sell to cover the gap since the previous cutout is larger than this GE 36” Profile unit.
