I LOVE this induction cooktop! It replaces an older model with cracked glass. But this model is harder to adjust the heat, and the glass does not wipe clean as easily as the older model.
I love this cooktop--it heats very quickly, but is also very sensitive to temperature adjustments. Unlike my previous gas cooktop, when I boil water for pasta, it quickly returns to a boil after adding the pasta. The cooktop is sleek, attractive, and so easy to clean. I also like that it doesn't heat up the room when I cook.
Of course any product can be improved but I am fairly happy with this cooktop. The app is stupid - no ability to remotely turn off the elements; this would be a very useful feature for people who sometimes leave the house and forgot to turned off the stove. For me, the ability to turn off the burners remotely is a huge safety benefit, but for whatever reason they have not enabled this function.
I have the php9036st model. The unit replaced a prior glass top ge unit with conventional electric burners. The unit does heat very fast and the burners are easy to select the desired setting. The controls are red when in use. The gray printing on the panel is too light and not easy to see. The tone generated by the timer is much too quiet. I contacted ge by phone and they didn't offer much help. Activating the options menu is not easy or straight forward. The bridge between the two smaller burners provides one single control but there is no heat between the two burners when the units are bridged. Several weaknesses in design. For the price this unit needs some improvements to be more user friendly. I chose it because it fit the cut out from the prior cooktop.
I would recommend this to a friend!
