I am amazed at the speed with which this stovetop heats up. This is my first induction cooktop and I thought "Where has this been al my life!" The controls are very easy to use and the size of the eyes is perfect. This one is easier to clean than my last profile cooktop. PERFECTION!
It is easier to use than the Miele cook top we had before if maybe a touch less powerful. But for price a really good tradeoff. Fingers crossed that it doesn't scratch like some of the other reviewer's mentioned. We will be very careful of sliding cast iron across the surface.
It does the job but not as good as the KichenAid we replaced.
Our KitchenAid induction cooktop died after about 10 years. The replacement would not fi in the countertop space since we had a down draft fan behind it. With widening the hole we were able to make the GE work.
PROS: Analog style touch controls, ability to combine 2 burners into 1 large burner, Wi-Fi (though we don't use it), Consistent heating (once it warms up) CONS: No beveled edge, no "Pulse" or Turbo heat for fast heating
I haven't used the stove yet . Can't figure out how to get it to turn on correctly n stay on . We purchased a home that had this cook top . We are still figuring out things since this is a scond home. Not sure that we will use it much and may take it out n buy another kind that isn't blue tooth .
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We're glad to hear you appreciate the appearance of this cooktop, and we want to help ensure you're able to use it without issue. We have information about using the cooktop available on page 7 of the manual; that’s linked here: https://products-salsify.geappliances.com/image/upload/s--pgMU6uZ0--/53418c06467eb7e6d5dd4a03056e1949bc7ffb51.pdf. Troubleshooting tips are also available starting on page 21. If the cooktop is turning off after you’ve turned it on, we recommend disconnecting the appliance from power for a couple of minutes before reconnecting, to reset it.
While this cooktop has built-in WiFi that adds convenience to the cooking experience, the main functions of the cooktop are not dependent on a WiFi connection. We’ll be reaching out over email to discuss this situation with you further. We look forward to hearing back from you, so we can offer assistance.
The induction assembly and induction control tray have both gone out 2 times in less than 1.5 years. The parts are over 1000 dollars. The first time it went out the stovetop was under warranty as it happened months into using it. Now, a half year after it was "fixed" last the same parts are in need of replacing. I can only guess that there is something else going on with this item or it is horribly built.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We'd like to review this situation with your cooktop further. We will be reaching out to you via email to gather additional information. Please respond to the email at your earliest convenience.
Love it except can't clean it without streaks. They really show up with lights on. Had another brand be this very easy to clean but didn't cook even. You two should get together and have a 5 star.
