Love This Cooktop!

I love our induction cooktop. It is amazingly fast to boil water and heat food. It looks beautiful and is easy to use. Some people have complained about the “hum” when a burner is on. Yes, there is a slight hum when a burner is turned all the way up. It is minimal. Otherwise there is no noise from the cooktop.
We've had our induction cooktop for a couple of months now and so far we're loving it. I love how it's instantly on or off, and it heats up and boils so much faster than our old gas cooktop. It's easy to clean, and I love that it takes up so little depth in the countertop that I was able to put a big utensil drawer right under it (we were doing a major renovation with new cabinets and drawers). Luckily most of our cookware worked fine with induction; we're still looking for a good nonstick skillet option, and we did have to replace our aluminum espresso pot we but got a great stainless one that looks even better. The minor negatives are that adjusting the temperature by sweeping your finger on the dial doesn't seem to work well for small temp adjustments and I sometimes have to turn off a burner and then turn it back on and touch the dial where I want the temp setting to be, but that only takes a second. It also makes a little beeping noise when you're cleaning the cooktop and wipe over the controls. Not a big deal. All in all we're very happy with our induction cooktop.
The worst cooktop I ever bought. Worked just long enough for the warranty to expire. Board is bad underneath. Burners will work randomly. Currently one burner works tonight.

We'd like to assist you with the burner operation. Know that an agent will be reaching out by email to provide a better service to you. Please feel free to keep an eye out for that and get back to us when you can.
Bought to replace previous induction cooktop. Operation is simple and intuitive. 5 burners makes handling multiple items simultaneously easy and the fine control over levels is great.
Bought this along with a number of other GE Profile kitchen appliances. Requires wifi connection opening you up to having your network hacked and all your information leaked online. I refuse to have any appliance that is glorified spyware in my home. Will be cancelling the order.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

So far so good. Just installed today. Very excited to cook on this induction! We had 5 people watching today to see how long it takes to boil water! So fun!
